   My iPhone 6 that I bought at launch was useable for all five years it was supported by iOS, on the original battery. Only upgraded for iOS 13. I still switch it on as a Netflix terminal sometimes, no issues. Crucially, I never once left it

   By red dwarf I believe the GP means later phases of the star cycle when the sun increases in size and intensity.

   Yeah that’s the point of it, if you grab a country near the equator and drag to the poles it will balloon. It’s about showing relative sizes of countries by placing them at the same point on the projection than it is about creating a projec

   Central Australia is a pretty big place too... https://thetruesize.com/#?borders=1~!MTUyNTIxNDM.NDkxNjc4OA*... EDIT: It seems that these pines are in NSW, which is in the southeast of Australia, not central Australia. My po

   I was attacked from behind by some red wing blackbirds in Ohio this past summer while walking - I don’t know if I’ll ever feel truly safe again.

    I'm curious about the "off tape" part. Presumably this means not on a ticker or not made public somehow - how are these transactions publicized and/or hidden?

    Interesting, thanks. As a native speaker my best guess was that it was some stage of processing, maybe sliced into round fish steaks of a sort or something.

    I find it interesting that Spotify, Apple, Pandora and others can do this for (95%+ of) music, but no one can do it for movies or TV.

    Anecdote is not the singular of data and all that, but I am exceptionally tall as well (would be in at least the top third or so of most NBA rosters) and yet was not encouraged to play sports as a child, largely due to my anxiety exacerbate

    100% agreed on the luck. I took my 2007 era MacBook to the Apple Store in 2009 or so for a battery that had begun to swell, and incidentally that had suffered from the notorious cracked top case issue. I had a friend that worked at the Geni

    That last one is part of Office 365 as “propose new time”. Of course depends on both of you using that service. Not sure if Google, Apple et. al. have equivalents.

    The bit about being promoted - I said that. And then after a couple years I quit and went back to being an individual contributor... management is not for everyone. EDIT: Maybe I should say, not every promotion is a positive step...

    I know of one CIO (between 10k and 1k employees) who operates by tell/train/terminate. Tell the staff what to do, if they can’t then train them, if they’ve been trained and can’t/won’t then terminate them.

    To be fair, mobile development is a few years behind laptop development, and it makes sense that it would plateau later (thought with the current generation of smartphones we may be reaching that plateau). A 2011 MacBook Pro 13" is com
