No. If it was pre-recorded, I'd be surprised if he was "lost for words".

As I understand it, "A Netflix Original Series" only means that they have exclusive distribution rights in a given region/country.

Yeah, I did a double take when I saw the number as well, then realized there's an O2 in CO2..

I think there's something in this...

The person behind the cash register could even ask, "Would you like to make your 'gas/petrol/fuel' today carbon-neutral for an extra $2.45?".

I can see that working with very little capital. It gets sold the same way as the Snickers bars next to the checkout.

Swimming in a concrete/Pebble Tec pool in Cairns in the summer is akin to taking a warm bath...

I've looked at these challenges and considered trying them out, but there's an opportunity cost involved in doing them.

I'm sure they're of some value, but I prefer to spend my time that I have for professional learning either reading books or articles, learning new tools or trying out new tools and skills on low risk hobby projects.

I find I get far more value from this than trying to solve challenges I virtually never encounter in the 'real world'. But then again, maybe I'm just not the target market...

I think there's massive scope for improving the delivery of educational material, but most of my ideas have been related to later secondary education and university and to what I as a learner have wanted, not what the teacher/educator has wanted.

It's been an open question for me how to improve education in earlier years where there's probably less scope for self-learning, and more focus should be on how to improve the teachers' efficiency and effectiveness. Since my own kids are starting school now, these earlier years have taken on new significance, but since I don't have a background in education, I haven't known where to start. I'm more at the point of "How can I help?!", since I have very little visibility into the frustrations that teachers experience on a day-to-day basis, but I can build software, if software can be part of the solution.

Sent you an email, but I'm sure there are others who would love to be involved in the discussion...

I'm still meditating on the advice given. Perhaps a moment of silence for a fallen comrade...

Very nice. Now all I need is the same thing but for all my photos so my kids can dig through them in 30-50 years time, like I can do with my parents' photos...

I think it's also that a dog will also respond differently to a third party (the trainer) than how they respond to the owner with whom they already have a relationship. The owner could use the exact same techniques as the trainer, but the dog will respond differently.

Same thing as why organizational change can be more effective when lead by an external change agent than an internal one.

While not really related to specifying multiple sizes, PDFs do have the concept of an artbox, which could be used by the PDF author to indicate the area of the page that actually contains content.

A useful feature of a PDF reader on these devices could be to display only this area with a smaller, perhaps user defined, margin.

This at least would fix the 'huge margin' problem.
