If you still have the Brother printer, try disabling IPv6 on the Brother printer.

I remember this issue from a while back. Some update happened, and then wireless printing stopped working on some iOS devices. It happened to a colleague's macbook, and disabling IPv6 on the Brother printer fixed it for us. I can't remember where I found the initial advice, but here's someone else mentioning it: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250584298

Wow! You're not kidding.

I just did a quick search and found this [1] It's the exact same 1 minute scene from UK and US. The UK is constructive criticism and wholesome banter. The US version cuts the playful banter as if he's just being mean, adds music and a narrator of doom, cuts his concern about her going home to her daughter, and her "very good day" quote is way out of context.

Spot on about using little to no text.

TedX has a pretty good style-guide about slides [1]:

What goes in my slides?

•Images and photos: To help the audience remember a person, place or thing you mention, you might use images or photos.

- People will understand that the images represent what you’re saying, so there is no need to verbally describe the images onscreen.

•Graphs and infographics

- Keep graphs visually clear, even if the content is complex. Each graph should make only one point.

•No slide should support more than one point.

What should the slides look like?

•Use as little text as possible -- if your audience is reading, they are not listening.

•Avoid using bullet points. Consider putting different points on different slides.

As someone who (finally) went from employee to small business owner, I wouldn't wait for "someday". Start the process while you're still working now. Take the time to learn everything you can to make this happen over the next couple of years.

"Free and clear" stops a lot of people, but it's not as important as knowing how to scale up and down so your cash flow is always above paying your debts. There will be balancing acts whether you own the building or not. Figure out the minimum sales you need to survive, and plan the maximum size you can grow to. You can start toward "free and clear" by negotiating a "lease with the option to buy". Considering recent situations, hire a lawyer to put contingencies on rent in case of government mandated shutdowns or reductions.

If this is truly a dream of yours, don't wait. Start looking at locations and gathering information.

There absolutely is a reason. Microsoft's reason. Scaring users away from independent software distribution means more people will use the Windows Store.

mi ken toki kepeken toki pona. taso ijo sona la ona li ike. mi wile sitelen e lipu sona la mi ken ala pali pona e ona. taso jan li wile toki lon pilin lon ijo pona la jan li ken toki e ni kepeken toki pona.

Translation:

I can talk using Toki Pona. But (in the context of) knowledge thing, it bad. (In the context of) me want to write knowledge documents, I cannot do it well. But (in the context of) people want to talk about feelings and about good/simple things, people can talk this using Toki Pona.

Isn't the opposite of spread - hoard?

Only in the 2nd sense (ie: "getting" something in a knowledge area).

The 1st sense (... understanding and accepting ...) cannot be hoarded, since it is not given to you from someone else.

I'm glad you prefaced this with "(now)" ie: hindsight. There's always a considerable chance that tests of the untested / unproven will remain inconclusive, even if there's some evidence we should find something.

It's extremely risky to allocate a huge amount of finite resources to these unknowns, when there are so many areas we KNOW we can help advance with those finite resources. The fact that he was ready to retire, if the picture came back with barely anything in it, gives a sense of how bad that waste of resources would have been.

Future us might not think it is such a gamble to send a probe to look for life in the oceans of Saturn's moon Enceladus. There's evidence of abiogenesis from deep sea vents on Earth, and Enceladus has very similar conditions. But present us knows there are so many unknowns and possibilities of failure even if something is there. And there are so many other useful ways to use the finite resources of our space program.

It took a lot of courage on Bob Williams' part to explore this.

The first paragraph summarized 3 different ways:

We asked neurologists, psychiatrists, and sociologists about human decision making. * The neurologists focused on stimuli and the brain. * The psychiatrists focused on the behaviors of individuals. * The sociologists focused on interactions between human groups.

We asked physicists, chemists, and biologists about the building blocks of the world. * The physicists focused on forces of nature. * The chemists focused on molecules and their chemical interactions. * The biologists focused on cells and organisms.

We asked engineers, designers, and project managers about UX. * The engineers focused on the interactions between the engineered bits of the UX and the users. * The designers focused on the 2 groups that have opinions about UX design: the company and the users. * The project managers focused on how well the UX got the project done.

I love this...

"...mov, which copies data between the CPU & RAM, can be used to implement a transport-triggered-architecture one instruction set computer, allowing for playing Doom..."

Click on "Doom" link and read:

"The mov-only DOOM renders approximately one frame every 7 hours, so playing this version requires somewhat increased patience."

The human brain is horrible at building truly accurate 3D representations of the world. Our mental maps are constantly missing a magnitude of details while tricking us and creating approximations to fill in the blanks.

Easy examples of this are optical illusions, ghosts, and ufos. There is also "selective attention tests" where a majority of people miss glaringly obvious events right in front of them, when they're focusing on something else. Regular people also tend to bump into things, spill things, and trip, even when going 3 miles an hour (walking speed).

I have never read italics as whispering. I usually read it as emphasis or stress. I read ALL CAPS as shouting. I read bold as important. I only see bold as aggressive if emotionally charged language is bolded (ie: marked as important by the writer).

I find it interesting that others may still perceive these differently than either of us.

I wholeheartedly agree with what everyone else is saying: "Truly incredible", "almost unbelievably great", "REALLY amazing", "unprecedented", "I love it", "the attention to detail is extraordinary", "an absolute masterpiece", "so awesome", "absolutely remarkable", "Incredible", etc...

In a comment you mentioned not having much money. I would highly recommend taking a day or two to set up a Kickstarter or similar for your next release (even if you would do other missions for free anyway). Also consider Patreon or similar. Allow people to give something, even if it's a small amount.

While the pieces (audio, video, photos) have been "available" for some time, you probably don't realize how much value you are adding to multiple lives by making them "accessible" in this way.

The Bloomberg article exacerbates the bigotry many Japanese have against their own fellow citizens. In the caption of the first picture: "She’s not all Japanese, but she was Miss Universe Japan 2015."

Yes, she is "all" Japanese. She grew up in Japan, with her Japanese mother, attending Japanese schools. This is the subtle bigotry toward people who are "half" (as they're called in Japan) rather than "dual". Many Japanese will always consider them "less Japanese" or outsiders.

She had dual citizenship because of her father. When asked which citizenship she would she would choose, she said, 「もちろん、日本を選ぶわ。自分では、私はとことん日本人だと思っている。そう、100%日本人よ。肌の色の違いは、その人となりとは全く関係ないはず」

"Of course I will choose Japan. I think of myself as thoroughly Japanese. 100% Japanese. It should have nothing to do with heredity, with a different skin color."

"most ... readers don’t absorb the intended knowledge. Failure is the default here."

All I could think while reading the article is, "If this medium is so ineffective, why is the author using it to transmit his information?" But then, maybe I didn't absorb the material well enough to get the point, which strengthens his argument! Genius!

I agree with UX, but scalability has a working solution in the Lightning Network. However, that needs major UX development...

Bitcoin also needs fungibility:

"Fungibility is the only property of sound money that is missing from Bitcoin & Litecoin. Now that the scaling debate is behind us, the next battleground will be on fungibility and privacy. I am now focused on making Litecoin more fungible by adding Confidential Transactions." -Charlie Lee

Not good enough. As an "Opt-out" with no password required, there will always be cases of unintentional purchases. This is obvious. IMO a company should be obligated to give refunds if their default settings are this way.

Reducing the barriers to payment this way does 2 things. * Consumers are more likely to impulse buy. This can affect everybody, but severely affects people with low impulse control who can't manage money. * Consumers are more likely to unintentionally buy.

Both are taking advantage of people.

It would be nice if there were consumer protections similar to "Explicit Consent" in the GDPR. I.e. Explicit Consent should be required when purchasing something.

According to Montessori theory, it's ages 6-12 years old (the elementary years). That's when their mental development is naturally focused on fairness, what's right/wrong, social groups, justice, rules, etc. They begin to show a genuine interest in others, locally and globally. Role models play a huge part in developing their values at this time.

Piaget agrees, but puts it at 7-11 years old.

Both say the beginning and ending ages are an approximation and development occurs throughout, but that's the developmental stage when the brain is particularly sensitive to it.

WebMD talks about breastfeeding vs formula.

Their listed benefits of breastfeeding include resisting illness, lower % of SIDS, a correlation to higher cognitive function, and lower occurrence of other diseases. They then list benefits of formula, which all amount to convenience for the parents. Then they say don't feel guilty either way.

The higher correlations to health benefits are the closest to birth, with nearly all sources recommending breastfeeding for at least the 1st six months, if possible.

I don't know. If I was confident I wasn't exposed (the article said they were very careful, and were certain it was a false positive), I might go with breastfeeding in that case as well.
