I really enjoy having a mechanical wrist. I could have the exact same watch in Quartz and it would be cheaper, more reliable and more accurate, but there is something about having something 'non-electronic' on me that is a pure ma

OP is talking about automatic mechanical watches - the issue he is describing is that if you don't wear one for a few days then it will stop and go out of time.

IMO I think that headline is less acccurate, because 'reduce growth' means 'grow, but less'.

If I was AA I would absolutely want to block this. One example: Seems like it sends information about the whereabouts of all the American Airlines staff via an unauthorised third party.

Both can probably be sued - if you copy a copyrighted image from a website that claimed it was free, you are still violating the copyright if you use it as an example.

Remember that you want to sell your product, but your clients just want to resolve the problems they have. So don't look at it as selling - reframe it internally as wanting to find businesses where you can genuinely help them and resol

Not equally (where did I say that?) but put frankly it depends how much risk. Everything is a trade-off, and actually what we usually aim to do as society is to manage acceptable and balanced levels of risk rather than use safety as the sin

No sensor is certain and can be blindly trusted - the data is going into a neural net anyway so the computer can be trained to understand what the most likely ground truth is given all sensor data.

I didn't claim they made perfect products - but they do make products that tend to stick around and work well with each other. I don't use iCloud with Keynote myself, but those sort of sync issues always happen in multiuser apps t

I mean in this thread we are specifically talking about a £389.99 console (new) which has a huge subscription library at a fairly low price. Sure, you can choose to buy a PC... but that's not a requirement (or indeed a preference) for

I think Apple shows that it’s not really an inevitable problem with scale - they largely make products that stick around and are well integrated with each other while being huge in scale and scope. IMO from the outside the problem with Goog

Yes, absolutely number 1! There is a huge precedent for companies not paying for compensation calculation mistakes, which is also supported by law (in the UK at least where I am from - but assume it would be the same in the US). Amazing h

Agreed, and besides the broader point, considering this is a writing style guide, is to avoid ambiguous/awkward statements altogether. If this sentence was describing places you shouldn’t visit as an example, a bullet point list would
