The original point was "why would I learn a new thing, when I already know something which works". The response "some people don't have something they already know" is valid.
You're really bringing up a separate point which is "should we be reinventing the wheel?", I think that's a fair point, but it's not a response to the original commentator.
The batteries are powered by solar panels. In either case the same arguments apply - space is notoriously low power.
Phones can't use directional antennas, otherwise you'd have to point them at radio towers. Using phased array antennas in which directionality is software controlled, there's a trade off between size of antenna and how much you can focus the beam - it wouldn't work in a phone (and would be too expensive anyway).
In the UK I've heard it said you can make a subject access request (SAR) for any information a company holds on you. This would include interview notes for example.
I assume something similar applies in the rest of europe due to GDPR?
I think adding feedback for marking cells as dependant on each other might be a good idea.
I'd also love code completion in notebooks.
I think the cleaning and code reuse problems can easily be mitigated by putting functions into libraries and using auto reload.
My normal workflow is hack something in a notebook until it runs, then refactor and put in a library I import with auto reload. I work on production ML and I use this for both software development and research.
I don't disagree with most of what you say, but I do disagree with your implied conclusion.
Setting a baseline of limiting/banning provably false information is a good thing. Yes, it doesn't stop all forms manipulation of people towards any given agenda, but it certainly doesn't make it easier, and means things have to be at least slightly anchored to reality.
Although I agree that raising pension age disadvantages the poor, not for that reason. Life expectancy is not the same as age most people live to.
If you compare the percentage mortality between the ages 65-75 it's pretty equal (about 1%) both for the UK [1] and Glasgow [2]. Lower life expectancy looks to me due to much greater death rates in the 25-40 range.
Raising the pension age hurts the poor, not because the poor won't experience pension, but because they have no hope of an earlier retirement, and so you are forcing people to work when they are potentially unable to effectively do so.
I was diagnosed with dyslexia at age of 8. At the time I couldn't spell my name with any reliability (it's not a complicated one), and I was failing primary school across all subjects. My reading level was, perhaps surprisingly, about average for my age, although I do find to this day I have to be very careful not to skip lines or misread words while reading (I usually use my finger IRL or highlight the text I read through as I go along online).
I see dyslexia now as an umbrella term for a wide class of learning related symptoms. The justification for receiving additional support and understanding as a means to reduce waste of potential. If there is such a large gap in one area of development that that it overly impacts the measurement or development of the other areas then failing to compensate for that seems negligent.
