I meant activated with Apple. A lost/stolen phone is a brick unless it can be activated.

Yes, in the US the rules are like this: - first to the intersection has the right of way. - if you both arrive at the same time, the one to the right has the right of way. - If you both arrive at the same time facing each other you can bo

It goes back and you have to pull it off. The front is opaque. These people are idiots.

I have a vague recollection of putting rss urls into Netscape and it would style it in a readable form by default. It’s too bad that feature was lost.

One of the reasons that bone breaks can be fatal is that bone marrow can escape into the bloodstream and cause blood clots. The result can be a fatal stroke. This is fairly common during hip breaks. My great-uncle went this way.

Once you report an iPhone as stolen, it cannot be registered again.

People like definitions that have clearly defined boundaries but biology is not like that. There can be a messy continuum between is and is not. Things can match a definition strongly by some measures but miss some that are critical to how

I have never allowed anyone to expect that kind of responsiveness from me, especially 24x7. The closest you get would be phone calls from my spouse and even then, if I’m in meetings I may not respond an hour or so and that’s not a cause for

Possibly, thanks to assholes as depicted in that video (which may be fictional). Apple does not want the liability or reputational damage from enabling someone driving a car and getting into a wreck, even if that prevents some other uses.

I wonder how that image is generated? The Cybertruck doesn’t have FSD yet. I also read that Apple was blocking the AVP from working when it detected you were moving fast. That they had to make special provisions to allow the AVP to work on

I see a lot of arrangements that put the compost and recycling bins/hole in front and put the trash further away. I guess the idea is that you should try to decide that something should be composted or recycled before you decide to thr

Do people really want to quit their smartphone? I certainly don’t. It connects me to people, provides information, and lets me capture information when I want to. I do not feel overwhelmed by it. I do restrict notifications to specific apps

I regularly set timers for things like pasta, steel-cut oats, baking cookies, backing lasagna, roasting chicken, chilling pastry in the fridge. Many of those things take significant time and do not need constant attention. I can wander off

In that way, it’s a bit like an LLM choosing the most likely answer based on the mass of training material.

Why would that be? When I was growing up it was not uncommon for kids to drink coffee. I used to brew my own (bad and sweet) coffee before I was old enough for school.

Neither is being a child or an adult a binary. Yes, the law generally makes a sharpe distinction based on age, but it does sometime recognize that someone who is close to the age of adulthood and who has been charged with particularly high

I assume that is a result of the need for the 737 to fly and for it to be as light as possible. The whale has no such constraint.

We all have abilities. Some of those abilities are anti-social and destructive. We use society, laws, regulations to set bounds on those abilities. Under these new regulations, it is clear that Apple would not be allowed to remove apps arbi

Sure, and those are one reason why those of us who live on the south side might drive though the city to the north side.

Because 405 is already a a crowded route that becomes bogged down during rush hour(s). Your choices are pretty much sound, city, lake, city, or mountains if you are looking for a route through Seattle.

The removing of the app is not the problem. Apple requires signed apps before they can be installed. They retain the right to remove apps specifically for security violations. This does not give them the right to block apps based on content

Oddly enough, the Anglo-Saxon chronicles, which are among the few sources of news of events in the 600-1000 period, spends considerable ink on describing unusual actions of flocks of birds. That and ecclesiastical events. You do get the occ

In the US floor numbering is ordinal, 1st, 2nd, etc. In the UK it seems like they are cardinal or nominal. Do you have a zeroth floor?

Just transcribing the lecturer may not be the best way to learn the material. If you need to identify the key points and summarize around them, you’ll better understand the material than just literally capturing the words. Short-hand was de

The US Eastern coast has a generally more extreme climate than the European west coast. The prevailing wind patterns are west to east so the harsh continental air is blown over the US East coast and the relatively warmer Atlantic air is blo

That would make French just badly pronounced Latin. And that Latin was just a puffed up corruption of Proto-Indo-European. Of course, language history is just turtles all the way down. All languages change as we speak them.

Are you in the UK? In the US it would sound very off to hear “junta” with a hard “j”. That doesn’t mean that English speakers try to fully reproduce how a Spanish speaker would pronounce the word and I think that is appropriate. If you are

Of course, if you are into podcasts, there is the fantastic “The History of English” podcast by Kevin Stroud. He has been taking an historical journey through the development of English from proto-Indo-European and is currently up to the El
