I still read a lot of "paper" books and take A LOT of notes which often slows me down. My process is to transcribe from the book, there has to be a better way.

Does anyone have any apps that are very streamlined for taking notes while reading on paper & automatic appending to a note?

Update: Actually, Highlighted is exactly that. Capture OCR highlights from books, export a TXT/Markdown/CSV…

Thank you @damirstuhec so much for building Highlighted 🙌🙏

@fj Yes, that is true. It feels like something where somebody must have come up with a better solution…

@fj @Kensan You might be able to figure something out that works for your workflow using the Shortcuts app. Here’s a short demo I whipped together: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/24e7d658dbb04287872bdadb88d7435d

The International Criminal Court application for arrest warrants, and subsequent developments of 🇪🇺 countries recognizing the Palestinian state, are a good test to see if European nations are able to achieve foreign policy goals when they go against US interests, ahead of Trump's likely re-election

A nation state is not a solution for this situation. But it seems to be so simple.
"Our nation is great, so we need to give them a nation to become great, too."

No, definitely no!

Who decided to recognize a Palestinian state?
Single nation states! This is not a collective EU decision.

(Trump would probably be happy about a Palestinian state, but I don't know.)

@fj It will also be instructive to see what Switzerland does in this situation. I have my theories…

« reassured » US officials about its ability to remotely disable the EUV machines in Taiwan when the Dutch government met with the company on the threat.

The Netherlands has run simulations on a possible invasion in order to better assess the risks, they added.

🚀 Pretty cool overview by Tim Dodd of the design of two German rockets: #RFA One and Isar's #Spectrum 🇩🇪🇪🇺

I had the chance to visit the Spectrum assembly hall so already knew about the amazing 3D printing of their thrust chambers, but didn't appreciate how different the design philosophy was between both companies.

RFA is heavily leveraging an automotive supply chain to reduce cost and offer a scalability advantage compared to other aerospace companies.

The implementation of this is unclear at the moment, but it’s laughable that a country that can’t pass basic privacy legislation is taking action to hide data from transponders of billionaires’ private jets

Hong Kong used to be a bastion of free speech, at the border with China. China is no longer tolerating its existence.

Glory to Hong Kong (will now be banned in Hong Kong on YouTube)!

Thankfully Lucas Franceschino from @cryspen has now a tutorial to get started!

Regardless of your political leanings, it's hard to not see as a massive achievement of the Commission.

Without joint purchasing of gas, the prices would have gone through the roof, and there would have been nowhere as much deployment of renewables.

This is the European cooperation and solidarity that Euroskeptics and nationalists want to destroy.

Interesting paper from 2018 quantifying the impact of on systems.

The 🇨🇳 BeiDou system was outperforming 🇪🇺 Galileo and 🇺🇸GPS during solar flare conditions due to more frequently updated broadcast ionospheric models.

https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2018RS006591

I know Galileo/EGNOS did a recent system upgrade to provide increased resilience against solar peak activity, anticipating Solar Cycle 25, but not sure what those consisted of. Maybe @bert_hubert would know?

"the solar storm ruined the accuracy of RTK systems for many farmers using John Deere tractors”

"Tom Schwarz, who owns an organic farm in Nebraska, told me he had to stop planting on Friday and Saturday because of the issue, and said that the outage, combined with a bad weather forecast in the next few days, is threatening the small time window that he has to plant corn.”

According to the Deere website, their Radio RTK does only use GPS and GLONASS.
