From what little I know of the topic, hasn't FACTA made US citizens rather unattractive to have as customers for most European banks? I've heard it can be difficult just to open a bank account as an American in Europe, unless you&

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I agree with much of what you wrote but I don't usually see that kind of nuance being presented by the media.

My parents came to this country without speaking any English, my mother and I learned English together watching Mr. Rodgers, so I'm fully aware of the difficulties such circumstances present. I have a tremendous amount of respect for M

Speaking from my own experiences, it can be very difficult to move from a rural area to an urban job center if you are poor. For one, everything tends to be much more expensive. If you aren't particularly educated and don't really

Yes, really . Taken in the broader context and tone of the article and the memories it brought back of my own childhood, I found it dismissive of the struggles many poor people face that might prevent them from partaking in such trips and

In theory I would like to agree with you that it is indeed a good idea to take the opinions of experts in to consideration when deciding on such complex issues. I suppose my disagreement lies in whether I can really consider many of these p

I felt it would add context to the fact that while my vote aligned with the broader opinion of the LA Times editorial board, insofar as not voting for Trump, this was in no way based on their endorsement and I found it somewhat off-putting

I don't mean to evade your request but I'm typing this on my phone while on a break at work so I don't have specific articles I can link to at the moment. Off the top of my head I can give you some general topics I have found

The article starts off stating that Hillary Clinton was the choice of nearly every newspaper editorial review board, and that despite those endorsements it didn't matter. Does anyone else find this incredibly tone deaf, particularly af

You have to consider that it's highly unlikely that everyone in CA would be in favor of secession. I can imagine that many people in the Central Valley, who tend to be far more conservative than their coastal counterparts and rely exte

Your statement here, in addition to some of your other comments, is increasing going down a path of vilifying Trump voters as nothing more than racists, xenophobes, and now literal Nazis. You seem to leave no room for the possibility that w

As someone who very much dislikes the prospect of a Trump presidency, and is in fact well to the left of the Democratic party and Hillary Clinton on most social and economic issues, I find this line of thinking quite troubling. Perhaps rath

Good point on not needing to replace the entire power brick but couldn't this have been solved by keeping the MagSafe port and releasing a cable with the MagSafe connector on one end and USB-C on the other?
472.
by Inconel 10y ago
I wish they would have kept MagSafe in addition to adding charging via USB-C. I doubt MagSafe adds much cost to the BOM or that it would have presented much of an engineering challenge to keep both. It seems like that solution would have pl

Speaking of which, I recall reading somewhere that Apple owns a patent on MagSafe like connectors for laptops/small electronics, is this still the case? Does MS have some kind of licensing deal with Apple for their magnetic connector o

I really don't understand how companies go about making these decisions sometimes. MagSafe seems like such a simple and elegant solution to me. I understand that USB-C is the future and that with much better battery life I'm sure

If the regulations only serve to protect incumbents by raising the barriers to entry, ignoring whether this is the case here, rather than the public interest, isn't it still valid to argue that this is regulatory capture? I'm genu

Reading your response as well as others' really illustrates to me how depressingly difficult this task is. I honestly have to give Google a lot of credit for Fiber, even if it ends up being a failure, in fact I now have a bit more resp

Very interesting regarding CapEx and Google blindly writing checks. So it would appear that in addition to the regulatory hurdles Google also made some poor decisions in the rollout and signup process. Would Google have been better served t

It's very interesting that you say the biggest hurdle was regulatory capture, that is certainly depressing. This leads me to another question that maybe you or someone else can answer, although I understand if you can't for variou

I won't be surprised if this news is met with the usual sentiment that Google abandons everything that isn't immediately hugely successful, and while I often share that criticism of Google, I can't really fault them too much
