Well shit. I bought an iphone 7 this year and was planning on keeping it for a while. I did find some issues when searching the internet for iphone 7 problems, but my wife has an iphone 7 plus from when it came out and it's still worki

> Many of the points he is specifically isolating for Apple are quite true of most of the big tech firms. I am an apple fan myself, but this is not true. He isn’t “singling out” apple. Apple is the subject of this article. Perhaps there

+1 on the table topics. IMO it's the valuable part of Toastmasters. Toastmasters in general was too much of a cult-like environment for me, I wish there was a toast-masters 'lite' with just the table topics.

I suspect this is because the real 'consensus' is more nuanced than that.

If you're like me and couldn't get past the first few slides because it's a terrible reading experience, go to the archive, which shows the whole thing in thumbnails. It makes it little better, even though the thumbnails are

From my experience, most promotions are a salary band change. The company is willing to pay you more because: 1. They believe you will be able get a 'senior' band offer at a competing employer. 2. They believe that either you are

I had the money and it was relatively safe, I would jump at the opportunity. I got my son a telescope last year and we have been watching the moon whenever we get a chance. It is another world.

While I do agree with your argument to a point, it breaks down because the internet is a mountain of crap, and while attention is a limited resource, the crap is limitless. You say you use AI to generate mundane articles. Well, your mundan

While I don't completely disagree with you, If somebody known to kidnap dogs opened a free doggy daycare service, I would expect people to question his motives. By doing this, I suspect Google will get access to a significant number

I've been an owl before kids and a lark after my kids were born. In my experience, it has to do with routine and much nothing else. If I force myself sleep everyday at 10:00 PM and wake up at 5:30 sharp, I find in about a week that my

This is true for all google cloud services. You have to enter a credit card number. You may 'intend' to use just 20$ a month and I believe you can set quota alerts, but you can't set a hard budget. Google will just bill for w

Something significant happened between years 10 and 12. You managed to double your pay. May I ask what it was? Incidentally, I'm at exactly the same experience as you and I'll just say I make a lot less.
