On: Show HN: Bionic Reading – Formats text to make it faster to read

Is this similar to open dyslexic font? Or are open dyslexic font based on this?

[renato_casutt → FrankZappa42]

But Bionic Reading actually supports many people who have dyslexia.

However, not in the form of a font, but in the way of highlighting within the text.

A big advantage of Bionic Reading is that the reading setting can be adjusted individually by each reader. In other words, individual.

Search for available slots based on your pincode, district, age & vaccine preferences. If a slot is not available, you can sign up for notifications on whatsapp or email that will notify you as soon a slot is available based on the preference you chose.

Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut, this book changed the way I relate to others and made me more empathetic.

I am working on a company that curates trial week at their potential job and also help them find a job. I am really passionate about this. Doing this alongside a full-time consultant agreement with a start-up, I am a bit stretched but overall excited about this.

Perhaps take some time off from current job?

PTO is scarce enough for most people to make that a fairly unattractive offering. Not even getting into things like that many are required to report paid work for others to their employers etc.

There could be complications if the applicant is already working for a competitor or in an adjacent sector.

It would effectively create a filter against ideal candidates.

Targeting users to answer the survey pollutes it's results.

[FrankZappa42 → sethammons]

Removing my comment, just curious how does it pollute the results? it’s my first time launching a survey :)

[sethammons → FrankZappa42]

It looks like: "I like that answer, please bias my survey findings!" Might have been n=1 and you might have asked the same of someone who answered different. Ideally you get random sampling to respond.
