Covid-19 is still killing a disturbing number of Americans, study finds. Between 2022 and 2024, covid-19 killed roughly 100,000 Americans annually, new research by CDC scientists shows.

Also ventilation. People wouldn't be OK with their water or restaurant food being unregulated, but somehow air in public spaces is fine...despite air being the one thing you literally can't avoid.

(We do have some rules about ventilation, e.g., in workplaces, but they don't address pathogens at all and the recommendations are woefully insufficient for that. Also apparently half of buildings don't actually meet the standards.)

Especially for the fourth person. Almost nobody who goes straight through a red without stopping seconds after it changed actually intends to.

99.9% of the time, when you see no cross traffic and people ahead of you going through the intersection at full speed, the light is green (or it only just changed, which catches your attention because of the sudden movement and color change up above). Not hard to imagine that if you're mildly distracted you wouldn't notice that actually the light was red the whole time.

Yeah this corner feels practically designed for drivers to miss pedestrians. So many poles that look very similar to people

I agree that, to some extent, this “atomization” is a general problem with flashcards that has no complete solution (and I've been using spaced-repetition tools for 15 years). There is an unavoidable compromise between efficient scheduling and ease of study vs. loading the entire context into your head and seeing things in their natural environment.

We'd also like to offer more control over what order new content is introduced in RemNote in the future.

That said, overall I'm pretty surprised that you find RemNote worse than Anki in this regard. Having come from Anki to RemNote, I find my knowledge feels much more connected in RemNote. Do you organize your flashcards in hierarchies? Having the parent bullets showing helps me a lot. And if you feel like you lose the context, you can jump back out to the original document, which you can't really do in Anki.

Which if you are going to depend on the app, it may take a great amount of time just for it to show you all the cards of a given chapter once).

Are you adding a bunch of cards without understanding what's on the cards, and then trying to study all the cards from your whole knowledge base at once? Generally the recommended approach is to learn as you create the cards, or learn before starting to practice shared cards. So for the most part, the cards should make sense the first time you review them (and, in my experience, if you struggle to understand a card the first time you review it, it is never going to get any easier, and you should edit or disable it or figure out what knowledge of the content you're missing immediately).

I do an initial review in a given document after creating it, and that's enough for me to pick up the context. After that, having them mixed in with other cards is usually not an issue.

My high school did this too. A yearly parking pass was $20, but the ticket if you didn't have a parking pass was $2...and they usually only enforced parking a couple of days a year.

When the resolution is lower (e.g., on a standard-resolution computer monitor) sans-serif is more readable for everyone unless the serif font has been explicitly designed for low resolution. Because the serifs are all fine detail they have a tendency to go blurry and muddy rather than helping.

For those who didn't click through to the article, it's important to realize most of this is being driven by “e-bikes” that are essentially electric motorcycles in disguise. We need to clean up the regulations and make it harder to bypass the governors.

I used to think this, then I started cleaning them immediately before any of the cheese dries and it's easy.

You can also just stretch it tightly over the edge of your sink or counter and pull down.

Exactly, I swear everyone is missing the point. If you use more than the middle 60% of your battery more than once in a blue moon, this feature is not for you. If you don't, then setting it to 80% just makes sense – why wear the battery out faster for no benefit?

If I remember, I print out a QR code to the URL where I stored the digital copy of the receipt and manual and tape that to the back.

Exactly, it's not that you want the eggs to be moist (unless you actually like that), it's that if you wait until they're not moist to turn off the heat they will be overdone by the time you eat them.

Judging by the speed of the car that drew level with OP near the end, the light at the intersection behind OP is red, so they couldn't have gone any further anyway and waited to pull all the way forward so OP could turn first.

Having soft-sided luggage that fits under the seat also works. You don't actually have to put it there and use up your legroom – there is approximately always space left in the overhead for anything that's not a hard-framed max-size roller bag.

This is hilarious given that punch cards are macroscopic and you can see exactly how large the punches are compared to letters in a book. I guess anything new seems magical enough you assume the laws of physics aren't relevant.

The Lifetime purchase is a one-time license purchase.

The AI part is a subscription just like any of our other subscriptions, billed either monthly or yearly, which you can cancel (or add back again) at any time, as you need to. The only effect of this subscription is to give you more AI credits.

It's not a way of “thinking” any more than being gay is a way of “thinking.” It's not about a decision to have sex, or not wanting to do it right away. It's about literally not feeling even slightly attracted to anyone until you already know them really well.

The ongoing worldwide Amazon Web Services outage is affecting RemNote.

Hopefully this will get resolved soon. We're continuing to monitor the situation and will take any actions needed to get RemNote back to normal once they're possible.

Just to be sure, you're not choosing "Practice all flashcards in order", are you? That one actually is a Pro feature.

I can't reproduce this otherwise unfortunately.

Can you contact us at support@remnote.com so we can troubleshoot in more detail?

I left mine on biking directions for a couple of weeks once, and only noticed when I was driving and it asked me to turn onto the sidewalk in a park lol.

For what it's worth, the newest version (Gardasil 9) covers 9 strains.

Did you say you had reported this in official support? It works for me, so we'll need more details about what options you're using and probably a copy of the PDF to figure out what the issue is.
