I think the point is that him sending out notebooks (he only has 100 of) doesn't scale.


I . . . Bet he could buy more . . .


Ordering from an established supplier connection (in China) scales.


just wait 2 decades and maybe he'll be top1 online shop


it has it, says so right on the page


Agree. I particularly hate advertisements in public spaces. I often consciously try to avert my eyes, it's like pollution to me, just visual/mental.


I don't know if this is a thing, but chess players might also steer the game in a direction/position which their opponent hasn't studied much, but they have. There's a "social" side to this seemingly "mathematical" game, no?


Fabiano Caruana (previous World Championship challenger) has said that he’s happy to find lines where the machines have you slightly behind, purely because they’re less like to have been studied in detail by your opponent. Even with perfect recall of the first 20/30 moves in various lines, players are still going to steer away from some lines based on their and their opponent’s strengths (tough against super GMs with few weaknesses though). So you’re definitely right, I think there’s a lot of game theory here, albeit much of it settled by your team ahead of the actual match.


This is more so in the opening (the beginning of the game, and separately where engines tend to be a bit less informative) but yes it is definitely part of the chess metagame, and you'll often see commentators talk about whether someone is "still in prep" or has gotten out of it. It often can lead to time advantages if one gets an opponent out of prep.


It states that amazon deforestation is driven by demand for beef and leather. Presumably leather is easier to transport and hence global leather demand plays a role here? Just a guess though.


It's not really about transportation. Cattle are transported live to slaughterhouses near the port, before global export. However leather "subsidies" the industry because it makes the cows more valuable: this is how it contributes to deforestation.


Of course it is driven by demand. Government corruption has nothing to do with it.


I find the Markor app (open source) great for editing text files, you can also customize it quite a bit. Then for uploading possibly syncthing would work.

(I do this to sync my text files between my PC and phone, works great)


I personally moved to Joplin and have it sync with my Nextcloud instance using webDAV. It's been working very well for me so far.


You're right. I'm so annoyed by firefox changing its interface every once in a while instead of coming up with a good one that they can actually keep stable for years...


If Linux kernel devs had just written v5.14 first they wouldn't have needed to bother with any of the previous 90 or so releases. The fools!


The linux kernel does not break its users, save rare exceptions (security fallout).

I've rarely seen a program maintain two UIs forever when they feel like refreshing their looks

Not that I mind UI change, but I think the comparison misses the point: if it's good enough, for some people UI breaks just cost more than they gain in the redesign. So it's not about reaching perfection. It's about finding a UI only just solid enough that it can stop breaking.

I don't necessarily agree personally, but I can understand that point of view.


Everything you need to know about Linux avoiding breaking user programs

Blender has had built-in well-supported full-featured pie menus for a long time, but Firefox still doesn't, and it's nowhere on the roadmap.


price

possibly security

free software (if one cares)


many, but not all of them


I believe the option is only shown if you are offline, so you need to disconnect from the internet.
