I thought 11 years ago that e-ink with good refresh was achieved, seeing bookeen's prototype display videos and full screen scrolling.

But all e-ink devices I have seen since were slow and would form time to time show remanence.


I tried trillium and found it interesting but a little difficult to use (I prefer markdown to their editor). Then I tried editing on mobile and it really was awful. It was mostly impossible to use the contextual menu. Some words got doubled when I typed them. Pasting did not work.

So I came back to a folder of markdown files synchronized with syncthing that I edit with markor on Android and vim or vscode on desktop.

Did you just give your credentials to a website linked from a spam email?


So it is far more expensive than the similar bookeen notéa and kobo elipsa which cost 400€.


Let me add yet another reference: Robert Merle's "the day of the dolphin" (un animal doué de raison) published in 1967 (so the navy began training dolphins and sea lions while reading this book). In it, the (talking) dolphins are used in a false flag attack.


To be fair, Google Maps is also stupid:

I once planned in advance and saved a trip with intermediary steps ending at what it calls "Domicile" (its way of saying Home in french). The next day I open the trip and the destination is no longer my home but a place doing home cleaning close to my start...


> Nestle products are titled under 2000 different brand names. For instance, [...] maybeline makeup brands

Isn't Maybelline a subsidiary of L'oréal rather than Nestlé?


Yes but Nestlé owns a big chunk of L’Oréal:

There are layers to this. Like e.g. the baby formula we've been buying turned out to be a brand of a brand of Danone.


Nice.

It seems like magic, but it is possible to entirely outsource the infobox to wikidata. See for example https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mart%C3%ADn_Abadi whose infobox is created with the sole `{{Infobox Biographie2}}` line.


Google has taught people to ask full questions (without question marks strangely), and knows how to treat those requests (Who is the mayor of Palo Alto; What's the weather in X"...). DDG is a little worse at that.

I expect search engines to search for every words in my request, and I prefer shorter requests. DDG gives pertinent instant answers for "weather Paris", "3.5mi in km" and correct results for NBA schedule.


> when landed they arrested a wanted man once he was on their soil.

Did he get on their soil though? Usually, you stay in the international zone when between flights, so, here, the passengers should not have entered Belarus. Do we know what happened in the airport?


The international zone is a individual national concept to simplify their customs ingress at that country's discretion. All countries have the right to ignore it if they see fit, such as law enforcement actions.


I suspect this is why a “bomb” is a convenient cover story for the government. They can force everyone off the plane rather than having to extract a single passenger.


If I land on a plane in America, shoot someone before I clear immigration, then depart, does that mean I can't be arrested?


No, it does not.


>Did he get on their soil though? Usually, you stay in the international zone when between flights

for example, when US agents capture people outside US and load them on a plane to bring in to US they actually formally arrest and charge them only when the plane enters US airspace.
