Well, you don’t have to, but the watch is basically a total loss once it requires a service. You could service it preserve the sentimental value, but if OP wanted a hearty watch they would’ve bought a G-Shock or quartz. (Tangent: folks in t

Spoken like someone who has not yet paid to service an automatic watch. :P Although automatic watches in the price range of an Apple Watch - $300-500 - can be pretty durable, their service costs are high enough to justify replacing the damn

If your battery health isn’t low enough, Apple will not replace the battery. This happened to my mom and her iPhone 6.

You can either estimate the prior as part of a hierarchical model, or use empirical Bayesian estimation. I spoke last year about an example of EBE applied to music trends: https://mobile.twitter.com/achompas/status&#x2F

Does that demand exist at a scale that makes sense for a $1T company with many rapidly-growing product lines and high product margin expectations, though?

> I feel like it's a cultural thing. I don't think culture has much to do with it. Apple's market cap is over $1 trillion. They sold over 40M iPhones last quarter. They have way more data than either of us do, and the mark

I did not downvote you, but the official statement claims this was the last straw, and not a response to a single offense: https://twitter.com/TwitterSafety/status/1037804427992686593

Aren't there ranges within the levels? I know of people receiving offers of more than $320k at T5 and equivalents beyond Google.

Sorry, I was a bit vague. Queries are fine, but you cannot, say, use a scikit-learn model trained on user activity.

Another thing to note, along with sibling comments: AWS Elasticsearch is limited in its capabilities. For example, you are blocked from relying on custom ranking models to rank your documents.

I recommend Meir Kryger's "The Mystery of Sleep." In the middle of the book, each chapter is devoted to a different sleep disorder (with accompanying anecdote). It focused too much on these disorders for my taste, which might

Elements of Statistical Learning is the other text I came in here to recommend. One of my most valuable activities in grad school was printing and studying each chapter of EoSL. It's a comprehensive text on the fundamentals of statisti

+1 to this, I'm a big fan of Casella. I personally think it's most useful as a reference, moreso than a textbook.

This horse has been beaten, but it trivializes the amount of money that entered late last year. I don't think it's all late money, but the money in BTC is not all "early" either.

It's well known that folks in the lower 70% of global income have seen significant growth. There's even a name for the plot - "the elephant chart." https://avc.com/2016/08/elephant-chart/

I agree completely with the above, and I feel like I'm in a similar position. Mind if I contact you to discuss a bit more?

I think people will not go to Apple Music looking for shows. I think they'll look for their favorite shows (Carpool Karaoke) on YouTube, discover they're on Apple Music, then use that as another reason to pay $10/month for it

I meant the Apple Store app, where folks can buy Apple products and accessories for them. It is not pre-installed on phones, but it could be (which would be in line with Apple's hardware-first strategy). I did not mean the App Store. U

I don't like voice assistants, but she's not that bad. When I ask these questions, she asks if I want to create a grocery list (I don't have one) and shows me the 7-day forecast.
