Different cultures. Your culture determines who sets expectations and who enforces them in these situations, and Indians can work with their culture's existing system for organizing and managing community homes. Americans would have to figure out a system, agree on it, troubleshoot it, while trying to learn how to be parents. That's almost impossible.


EPub is, like html, reformattable by the reader, so documents aren't fixed in the way PDFs are.


> Wouldn't it be much better to just refute the claim instead of attack the person's motives?

No, at some point, and we have absolutely passed it in the US, you can be overwhelmed by the lies and bad faith arguments if you try to respond to them individually, and it's necessary to try to derail the source.


Visiting Ft Lauderdale as students on spring break and chatting with barflies gives one of them the germ of the idea....


Perhaps, someone in the MIT ocean engineering program doing a semester at sea on the Corwith Cramer breaks bad. Back in the day they would lure crew by using ladies of the night to entice a victim into a Shanghai Tunnel [0] where they would be abducted. Our protagonist working on submersible project on the Corwith Cramer gets seduced by a yacht crew member while having a drink at the Leeside Pub or the Captain Kidd bar in Woods Hole. It wouldn't be the first time.

Personally, I had planned to spend a season working in a restaurant in Miami Beach and was evacuated from the inter-coastal because of hurricane Irma. The only bed I could find was in a crew house in Fort Lauderdale. All the windows were boarded with plywood and they had several kegs and dozens of bottles on the table as we waited out the storm with a party. Fortunately the storm tracked the West Coast. Someone asked what I did and I said I was a chef. They suggested I become a private yacht chef. Two weeks later I was cooking on a private sailing yacht in the Bahamas.

Probably more interesting if a storm blows the protagonist into a situation.

It probably should be your own device; the audiogram ends up in the iPhone's health app. It can probably be done by someone else if they don't care and don't need to apply a different audiogram for themselves.


That is some nice integration. Having one’s own up to date audiogram stored in a health record and available to doctors and devices.


I've received Apple Calendar invites containing Chinese characters from individuals I've never heard of. I deleted them, but just receiving them was a bit alarming.


It's still available for Windows on Steam.

Edit: And yes, over the years I've wasted many many hours on my Atari ST and Macs running Empires.


"Turned" may be the wrong word. "Cozened" might be more correct. There may be no good way for an individual to identify someone who is being paid to take over their project from someone with a genuine interest.


It sounds like they're calling it e-paper because it's a variable refresh reflective LCD, not e-ink.


Yeah it's the exact same thing that pebble did. They used Sharp low energy self-refreshing LCD


My first impression is that I'm not seeing increased resolution. It looks a lot like an overapplied sharpness filter (too much contrast around existing edges).
