That's a brilliantly simple approach. You could even have an estimated difficulty score that updates based on number of moves, switches, etc. and ramp up target difficulty as the random run progresses.
As a Lebanese person, this is absolutely unremarkable. Almost any Arab, after hearing "my name is George Piro" in Arabic, would be able to tell recognize a Lebanese accent and the Christian name.
Thanks, it does help to get different opinions, as I'm new to EU citizenship and still forming my opinion. Do you have sources for some of the claims you make? Asking out of curiosity, not doubt, as I'd be interested to dig deeper.
Also curious what you think of the perspective that acknowledges most of the dysfunction you're naming while considering it part of the growing pains of figuring out how to do transnational politics as a species. RE no cross-border parties, what about parties like Volt Europa?
Ha, I agree that the pin prompt is confusing. If you're curious, it's used as a passcode for the on-device key. You need it e.g. if you're transferring messages to a new device.
Don't ignore it. Laugh about it! It wasn't lost on me writing the comment either. Isn't it great that the very thing that brings us pain can also be the vehicle for our healing?
You can't willpower through it if it's a defense mechanism employed by your brain to hide underlying pain. Maybe it's time to try something new. Check out Gabor Maté: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=74DDEDmHDvw
I'm a lefty with a Remarkable 2 that I've use almost daily for a year and a half, and I haven't had trouble with accidental button presses as long as I close the context menu when I'm writing. The toggle for the context menu is a dot on the top right corner of the page, so not easy to accidentally press as a lefty. I guess if you're using it for complex drawings where you need the context menu open to constantly erase, cut, and change thickness then it might be annoying, but for my use cases of journaling, note-taking, and the occasional diagram, I'm extremely satisfied.
Under his framework, this would be a specific example of bad faith communication, and he agrees that the breakdown in our ability to communicate in good faith is a threat to true democracy.
When I went to the German site and tried to generate a data request, the generated email was in English. Is that intended? I think I'm Germany you're much more likely to get a response if you write in German.
One of the most valuable things about a conversation with a mentor is getting insight into their thinking processes: how do they decompose a problem into smaller parts, what mental models they make use of, etc.
Given that, in my experience I've always learned a lot when I've asked my mentors to talk about a challenge they're currently facing and have them ramble on about it while I ask clarifying questions.
One IMO realistic use-case is providing a wealth preservation mechanism for people living in a country with a corrupt government that's experiencing hyperinflation, for example Lebanon.
Have you heard of solarpunk? It's a movement that arose out of a desire to balance techno-optimism with recognition of the dire need for technology that is more Earth- and human-friendly.
