Beautiful!

Someone could add an approximation range syntax if they derived their own fuzzy dates specification. I've been considering the problem of fuzzy dates for a project idea. Maybe something like "..<" could join the first and last days of an approximate range, like "156X..<1585-12-25", which would be equivalent to "156X..1584-12-25", to say anywhere from 1560 to 1584. Depending how much information you want to encode you can imagine other extensions like showing the most confident guess. At that point it would be simpler to create tables to encode the available information.

I work 7-hour days, but I might work 2 or 3 hours during that time. A lot of the time I find the work unbearable and can only bring myself to do it in short intervals. When the task is interesting, involves my skills, and I'm making progress, I can work for hours with almost no breaks. It really is an emotional thing. I won't force myself to do anything that is really painful because it ruins my mood for the whole day. At the same time I feel guilty of days I get little or nothing done and I feel trapped by the time constraint of the work day, even though I work from home. I would really like to make a deal where I work independent of a work day, with no set hours and no expectations, and not feel like I'm on call all day, so I can do things other than work through the day and not feel like I'm cheating.

I wonder how the ASKAP dataset will compare when it's rendered as an image

Approximation for the ASKAP images with help from Wolfram Alpha, .83 spheres is 10.4 steradians, so 903*70 billion is 63.21 trillion pixels, at ~1.65e-13 steradians/pixel, though there may be overlap in the images, unsure.

Approximation for HUDF is 38.44 million pixels, covering 11 square arcminutes (from Wikipedia) which is 9.308e-7 steradians at ~2.75e-14 steradians/pixels, so the HUDF is about an order of magnitude higher resolution.

This issue came up for me recently when signing up for Audible. You get 1 free audiobook/month but have to verify a credit card before the free trial month. I imagined this was to cut down on users who sign up with throwaway accounts to get free books. What gets me is you can buy $10 prepaid credit cards and sign up repeatedly anyway, spending your $10 elsewhere. Completely opposed to the practise, however, when it enrols you in automatic payments which you have to opt out of before your free trial expires.

I finished the survey and clicked "get my personal results" - email is required to receive the results, but you can "Join" without providing an email.

What is 'UK energy use'? The title should tell what the article is about.

How can they tax sun collection, that is sickening.

The title of this article is missing a crucial "in 2 weeks" that actually gives meaning to 6 miles. I can't believe how poorly articles are titled. Qualifying information takes a few words.

I would love a new text entry method using gloves or finger/toe trackers. For recording thoughts while on the go.

TODO: Create brand and company with open source designs, versioned products, and sell just above cost!

I suggest loading Papier on the new tab page only if it isn't yet open. If it's already open, the new tab page could show frequently visited, bookmarks, and search as before.
