I'd like to see Apple run some opt-in scientific trials. For example: Does active noise cancellation result in more or less hearing loss? Or Alcohol consumption: Apple Health could ask each day how many drinks you had and many people w

It often comes down to enforcement. Cellphone debt is near impossible to collect, I believe statute of limitations is only 2 years in many states. The contract is likely near worthless if sent to collections.

Imagine if they gave passengers the option of food or $20 cash. This would be a much more clever marketing tactic and would avoid all the negative headlines, I'm surprised none of the budget airlines have thought of it.

In almost every industry this is the case. Perhaps with the exception of some government contractors. Even with projects that went to extreme cost to maintain secrecy ultimately failed to do so, IE the Manhattan project. Most tech companie

It seems that blocking wields way too much power in that case. It explains some of the behavior on reddit. You can use it as a way to evict people from the discussion.

The fact that humans are averse to change is a strong reason not to sleep on it. Choosing status-quo has a gravity to it, and often the longer you wait the stronger the pull.

I believe the original plan was a Falcon Heavy carrying a Dragon equipped for propulsive landing. I believe they were actually going to use propulsive landing instead of parachutes even for return to earth. That probably is eventually the

It is ridiculous that phones are still locked. Customers are on the hook for the full cost and equipment is now treated as a loan directly to the customer. Makes no sense for carriers to hold the keys.

I think the issue is that government needs help from the non-profits to get things like this approved. A strong marketing effort. And the non-profits only agree to put their weight behind it if they get a significant benefit. Thus there&#

Then the voters say "It must be audited!" and another oversight committee is created (at the cost of taxpayers) and some numbers are published to a cryptic PDF that no one looks at and nothing changes.

Maybe if you do it enough, sounds like he did it once. Another possible explanation: Multiple people just checking for a ride in a certain area is a good indication that there's about to be high demand and Uber might use that as a sig

It's quite foolish to risk a nuclear war to prevent a country from taking territory they literally had less than 20 years ago. Everyone is now worse off because the land is filled with mines and thousands have been killed. China and R

Auto-applying security updates is actually a major threat vector. It's often easier to compromise a cloud deployment system/key rather than thousands of edge-deployed devices. An EOL device that has withstood the test of time, an

Sending money also increases the risk of nuclear war in which even more people will die and lose their freedom.

Required ADS-B and collision avoidance tech is another. Many lives could be saved, instead they mandated fire extinguishers in all planes which have likely saved zero lives.

Government agencies need SLAs. If FAA does not respond to the revision request within X days, it should be considered approved. Governments have a long history of using delay as a weapon. This is why the founders included right to a spee

LLMs do now have a concept of truth now since much of the RLHF is focused on making them more accurate and true. I think the problem is that humanity has a poor concept of truth. We think of most things as true or not true when much of our

I've definitely bought a few extra phones that I would not have otherwise due to having them stolen and most people I know are in the same boat. You'd be surprised how much e-waste theft creates. Often only a few parts can be sol

Trajectory is planned such that the ballistic trajectory minimizes the probability it will hit land. So it is relatively safe even if the engines and abort system fails. You can see the trajectory here and how they thread it through the Ca
