for some reason, the authors have chosen to paywall this paper away where nobody can ever read it but this is my jam today: "On the Design of Segmented Arabic Numeric Display" https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/On-the-Design-of-Segmented-Arabic-Numeric-Display-Bedair/4b67247a59c62f9edcaf171efe8c9f66acccb02f

i see we&#39;re in the &#39;&quot;find out&quot; phase of the CDC trashing its own reputation. &quot;authoritative info on hant--&quot; shhhh. zip it. sit down. be quiet. you don&#39;t get to say &quot;carrots give you cooties, vaccines turn you into a yeti!&quot; and then retain any respect or authority. you have been sidelined and ignored. shut up &amp; go home. leave space for actual professionals to speak.

if you wanted to install your own apps on your phone, you should have bought a phone that wasn&#39;t one of the only two phone types allowed to exist! it&#39;s a free market, baby!
