Riesling
Last time I researched this, I could not find a solution, that works on Linux and also has widescreen support.
Will definitely check out this python package.
Here is the one thing, that works for me, if I must read a text:
While reading I use a Text-To-Speech-Engine to read out the text at the same time. TTS-reading speed should be at least 1.5x. It should not be too easy to keep up.
I have no explanation why this works, but it does. Maybe someone else with ADHD finds it useful.
I myself become very lethargic under a normal carbohydrate-containing diet. On low carb I have a lot of motivation and a lot of energy.
This is actually one of the best arguments for standard time all year around!
If we force people to start the day at a specific time, we have the obligation, that for as many people possible, this time will be in sync with their circadian rhythm. And this can be guaranteed best with standard time.
It forces the majority of the population to live with a constant mini jet-lag. It causes productivity loss and many health issues.
There are no chrono-biologists advocating DST (or constant summer time) over standard!
This is again one of those issues where people voted against their own interests, because they associate summer with warmth + light and winter with cold + darkness.
If different species (with different evolutionary strategies) also have different moralities, would this not be a strong hint towards morality being based on evolution?

I agree with that but differ from your conclusion. I think it is our responsibility to keep looking until we find what makes us happy.
It's like two parties arguing about football. One side is saying, we need to abolish referees, the players should sort problems out themselves. The other party is saying the referees need more power and instruments in order to better control the game.
The simple truth is, people need to make sure that the referees work for them and not for the individual players who hand them the most money.
While, at the same time, allowing one of her citizens to be prosecuted based on it.
Writing security critical software in c++/c is not the sensible thing to do in my opinion (even though it is the standard right now). Humans in general cannot handle it without making a lot critical errors. And the people working on those projects are already really smart in general. This has been shown again and again.
If c++ was a car, it would force you to place your foot in a special position in between breaking and accelerating. If you do it wrong, your foot will get squashed in the exposed drive train.
Of course for the point of the argument I am exaggerating, but I really applaud the efforts Rust has made in order to advance the security of software.
How useful would google really be, if you had to contact every author before reading the actual website?
Like the absolute power of a dictator?
Of course this is a hyperbolic example, but the real world is not only black and white and simple rules like that cannot cope with the complexity of it. The question is, where we should draw the line. And many people in here agree, that publicly funded research should be made available to the public at no further costs for the greater good.
As a compensation the user would need to pay money for using the service.
This would also put a price tag on privacy and show people what they actually give away when they use the service in the traditional way.
Todays generation has less job security than the generation before.
Todays generation does not have a secured pension (like the generation before had).
It is expected of todays generation to be a life-long learner (if you are not, your economic value drops immediately and if your job gets terminated you fall back to the same support someone receives, who has never worked in their life before).
Affordable housing has decreased.
It is expected of both parents to work (tell me again why I should have children, if I rarely see them?).
Pressure on children has increased as there is less time at school and less time at Uni to learn the same things (do I really want to do this to my possible future children?).
Especially for women having a child still is very bad for your career. Also if you have a fixed-term contract (which there is an increasing number of, your maternity employment protection is severely limited).
Of course this is just an anecdote, but at least in my circle of friends, those with secured government jobs are the ones having the most children. I would love to see some large-scale data on this subject.
If you agree with his opinion, consider showing this video to your friends and family.
JavaScript isn't the real thing either. On the way to the processor there are so many different layers of abstraction to go through. CS is just another one of those layers.
The effect would be the same. Less money for candidates that vote against fixing the climate. Hence less chances for them winning in the elections.
As for the retribution of newspaper headlines. This might be some form of protectionism.
Calling Bing and Yahoo an alternative to google honors them. Just try them both exclusively for one week and see if you would really call them that.
Regulations are not trying to fix "what is wrong with google". They are trying to keep the competition going, which ideally results in a better product for the consumers.
As someone from a country with stronger unions, I would like to propose a different interpretation. As a result of a strong union culture, regular jobs are just too comfortable to consider doing a startup. A startup is a very risky venture where most founders have to work at their utmost limits. I am sure many startups have been created out of a dissatisfaction with the circumstances of the former employment.
In contrast, many jobs in unionized countries pay fair wages, force you to take 30 or more days of vacation and respect your work-life balance. Nowadays you also get a lot of time off, if you become a father or mother.
Would you give up all those things, just to try something that has a 80 percent (or more) failure rate? I know this is a forum for entrepreneurs, so most people would. But a job you are really satisfied with, makes this decision a lot harder.
