My superstitions are more accurate than your superstitions
org-mode is a brilliant format. The limitation is that you would have to use Emacs or something which support .org files.

It's probably not logical. They are hinting at increased sweating.
Re:Google Announces Pixel Tablet on Friday May 12, 2023 @01:48AM (#35912403)
That would be great. I have been eyeing iTablet for long now.

If I could flash android onto it, I would buy it right away

The reason could because of how these payments apps evolved.

People already had cheap android phones in their hand. After the 4g boom, many got their first smartphone.

UPI related playment apps started with QR code scanning, just like in China.

There is no extra cost to the vendor. All they need is a sticker with their QR, which customers can scan. Later, they came up with a (bluetooth) speaker which can announce payments. It doesn't even need a connected smartphone.

If they used cards, they need to manufacture it and the readers. Ship them to their home addresses (which is complicated and lossy), train them about card usage.

For many vendors who accepted UPI payments, it was their first time accepting something other than cash as payments.

I wonder if you really mean that or if you haven't used gpt4 or bing chat enough

I doubt if that's the norm.

It's their choice, perhaps they enjoy raising children.

Don't mean to be a snob, but you mean "hackernews' 9/11" :)
When does computational photography count as "fake" or "AI generated"?

I don't see the line.

From my experience, the page loads became much faster after migrating to cloudflare page from github pages.
Incorrect. You can turn seeding off. (Although that is not a very neighbourly thing to do) Also torrents are just one source.

Rick reminds me of Brent from the book "the Phoenix project".
I wish I had an Apple phone with Android. I like their CPUs, but iOS is terrible IMO. It so impersonal (lacks customizaility) and it's a pain to use along with Linux (for loading media, etc).

I wish I could root the iMini and load AOSP.
