Scan Documents with iOS 11 Notes App
I have scanned 10+ documents with the iOS 11 Notes App (don't ask me why). Even though it feels really slow on my iPhone 6 Plus, it's still much faster than using my scanner. ARKit FTW!
Mission Peak
Summary
Just boring grasslands and hills, there are almost no trees if you need shades to rest. However, the views are still impressive when everything is green. I definitely will not go there in the brown season.

∞ Stream Direct Fee Will Be $100
Since then, we've seen a bunch of great conversations discussing the various pros and cons of whether there should be an amount, what that amount should be, ways that recouping could work, which developers would be helped or hurt, predictions for how the store would be affected, and many other facets to the decision. There were rational & convincing arguments made for both ends of the $100-$5000 spectrum we mentioned. Our internal thinking beforehand had us hovering around the $500 mark, but the community conversation really challenged us to justify why the fee wasn't as low as possible, and to think about what we could do to make a low fee work.
So in the end, we've decided we're going to aim for the lowest barrier to developers as possible, with a $100 recoupable publishing fee per game, ...
I'm in favor of the lower end <3

∞ Gender Stereotypes About Intellectual Ability Emerge Early and Influence Children’s Interests
A report on Science by Lin Bian, Sarah-Jane Leslie, and Andrei Cimpian:
The distribution of women and men across academic disciplines seems to be affected by perceptions of intellectual brilliance. Bian et al. studied young children to assess when those differential perceptions emerge. At age 5, children seemed not to differentiate between boys and girls in expectations of “really, really smart”—childhood's version of adult brilliance. But by age 6, girls were prepared to lump more boys into the “really, really smart” category and to steer themselves away from games intended for the “really, really smart.”
Results of studies three and four.Boys’ (blue) and girls’ (red) interest (average of standardized responses to four questions) in novel games in study three (A) and study four (B). The main independent variable for each study (task in study three, age in study four) is shown in bold. Error bars represent ± 1 SE.
This is depressing to read.
