The Trump administration wants to give white South African “refugees”
an arrival gift bag with an American flag, an Android tablet, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence,
and hagiographic literature from PragerU minimizing the history of slavery and apartheid in the country and falsely accusing the South African government of “favoring the Black population.”
This is the latest effort to woo the Afrikaner population, descended from 17th-century Dutch, German, and…

I haven't seen the need to replace my #chromebook yet. I bought it to handle email, social media apps, language courses, read news and web browsing. Machine is four years old and works well enough for me. Wife wants to buy me a tablet, but I keep asking her why as I have devices that are good enough.
Is it fast? No, but it is fast enough to do what I want.
Does it have …

Random thought: is there a placebo pharmaceutical manufacturing factory somewhere?
Like, say you're running a double-blind clinical trial and you need a tablet or gel cap or whatever made of a specific formulation with no active ingredient that's visually indistinguishable from the active test subject and contains the same binders and excipients etc.
Or you're a film producer shooting a scene involving an actor taking some sort of drug that needs to look like a well-k…

A 1,600-year-old lead defixio (curse tablet) with a drawing turned out to be the first known surviving curse directed at a Roman senator:
“May Fistus dilute, languish, sink and may all his limbs dissolve …”
The drawing depicts a snake-headed deity, possibly Hekate, with her arms crossed and a star over her groin. The crossed arms symbolise the binding of the deity to the curse. The goddess will remain bound until its terms are fulfilled.

I've been thinking a lot about design lately -- next spring I'm teaching a course in the ethics of software design -- and I realized that even something like an iPad cover / stand can be right-handed, in a way.
When the iPad is propped up using the cover in the photo, the home button has to be on the right. But I'm left-handed, so whenever I want to use the home button for the Touch ID, I have to reach across the tablet. It's not hard, but it's slightly awkward.
