NAFTA bad. USMCA good.

I have a couple of thoughts about this.

Firstly, I thought sans-serif typefaces were encouraged for digital media because they read better than serif fonts. But now that high pixel density displays have permeated the market, this might be a moot point.

On another note, I wonder how much of the hate TNR gets stems from its ubiquity for having been installed on almost all personal computers for the past n decades.

Paganis are beautifully designed cars, but the labelling of buttons and toggles inside the center console look cheap (IMO) because their font seems straight out of a quickly made flyer designed by bored teacher who just discovered Word Art.

I don't even care that much if they want to handle the 2FA with their proprietary methods. There are Android APIs that broker the OTP SMS delivery to the app without the app needing full access to the phone's messages.

If they can't do it on iPhone, they don't need to do it on Android.

All the banks I have an account with here in India require SMS permission to use their apps, along with . The last straw was HDFC with their latest app revamp.

I've resorted to using the online web app.

If I recall, Watson was fed the whole text of the answer as soon as the other contestants could see it. Personally, I thought it would be fairer to have it do speech-to-text and/or OCR to level the playing field.

But I suppose these constraints are just targeting the machine's input mechanism and not its actual reasoning ability once the answer is read. I'm curious how Watson at the time could handle a particular category that Ken dominated: "Initials to Roman Numerals to Numbers" [1]
