Op didn't say anything about such people downloading the browsers. Their children or associates can do that. The point is, that an automatic unskippable system update will change the settings the child has done for their ill parent. The parent won't understand what happened or at least won't know how to change the desired setting back.
This is a bit of tangent, but hear me out, if the user was blind, for example, and was using some specific accessible tools, it would be really bad if the OS decided to change the tools by itself. The end-user would have no way to use their computer anymore. At least until a healthy person could revert the system settings back to their old state.
Maybe it's because I'm on mobile but I'm not seeing any images of the actual application. Personally when I work with an editor, me deciding to download it is heavily based on what it looks like. If I have to download it to see... I won't.
I completely understand. I'm in the process of rebuilding the UI - so I did not want to post "stale" screenshots. I really hope to have the new version of the app ready in less than a week, and then take a few screenshots and post them ;)
Having said that, in the near future (3-4 months), I will redesign the site. Already hired a team. It's really interesting how things your idea of what should be on the website changes as things shape up. So, it will be a redesign from the ground up - but for that, I need to have a few more features ready - and that will take tiiiiime :)
EDIT: I should have mentioned: this is Windows10 only for now. I may port it to other platforms assuming all goes well.
When using vim keys for example, to jump to the beginning of the line I press ^ then press 'dw' keys delete first word in a line. So I do the caret with my voice and the other press with my hand which is faster than doing it by hand alone.
Interesting, is that something you’d consider using the noise input for once I finish that? (As noise will be lower latency, you’ll have about 40 noises to map, and it’s “out of band” with speech)
Sure! Id love that. I only use one noise at the moment for mouse clicking (since I only know one sound).
Could you point me to a video that shows an example of each of the 40 available sounds?
They aren’t available for use yet. https://noise.talonvoice.com is the submission collection site for the training data. Each noise there has a description and audio example. When they’re available you’ll be able to bind them just like voice commands.
Just a sidenote - Discord has always had a light theme, they just revamped it recently. Sadly the light theme will never be usable until they change the color of rank names and such not. The majority of people use dark theme, so they make server icons and role colors that look good on dark theme, not light theme.
I just downloaded to app to compare it to what I use, TickTick. My biggest gripe is that it doesn't auto detect times. With TickTick, i can make the note "Haircut on Saturday at 1pm" and it will automatically set an alert for that time.
And how frequently do power outages of this length happen in a given city? Considering none of the other gas stations had infrastructure in place to handle this event, I would assume it's the first time in decades, or ever.
To be fair, being able to increase your prices would have those same downsides too. It sounds like this kind of emergency preparation would have to be publicly subsidized for it to be a common thing.
this is indeed basically what I meant. but seeing the other comments I can see an use/product case for this. As long as it's not subscription based I have no issue with the pricing. Although I wouldn't grab my wallet at this pricepoint
> Most ideas are trivial, or very hard to protect, even while building a business.
Exactly, because they are worthless.
The exact details of how SpaceX achieves re-usability are very much patentable. The idea that initially was on Mr. Musk head isn't and wasn't.
> But what about patentable ideas ?
They do not exist. In order to patent something, you have to be able to describe your "invention". Which means you have executed it to some extent, insofar as you are able to at least produce a design. But the mere fact that you can patent an idea doesn't make it useful. The patent office abounds with patents which never amounted to anything.
> What about fully formed ideas coming from professors, backed by deep research
These are no longer ideas, are they? Someone had an idea, pursued it, with _the help of a team_ and produced something of value. THAT can be stolen. The initial idea that spurred the research cannot.
> What about an idea(deeply researched) that with relatively easy implementation could get a lot of press, high SEO and some defensibility
Then you don't need that much funding, do you? If it is easy to implement, you go ahead and implement it, and _NOW_ it has some value, if your implementation is any good. Still, you need to produce something for it to have value.
> They are advantageously positioned to be able to fund a team to execute an idea, theirs or otherwise.
So they could unethically become a competitor. Big deal.If the idea is not originally theirs and they do not have the founder on board, then they will end up building something different. For better or worse.
