   They might have meant mobile-first and not mobile only. Their desktop site is very clearly designed for mobile, the main content does not change at varying screen widths. The sidebar and header do a bit of restyling, but thats about it.

   Does anyone know why mail-in paper ballots are not the norm in the US? Since I've been of voting age, that's all I've used and its great. I can take my time, read about the measures and the candidates, then make my decision a

   I'm in the same boat. I never could get TouchID to work reliably or fast enough. To the point where I never even bothered to have it on. FaceID on the other hand has worked great for me, and only doesn't work if I have a motorcycl

   I'd always thought that the Methuselah Tree in California was the oldest living tree. Apparently there's some disagreement, as Old Tjikko is a clonal tree, meaning the trunks come and go but the roots stay living underneath [1]. S

    This narrative? The Russians hacked the US election. They shot down a Dutch airline. They invaded and took Crimea. They poisoned a former spy in the UK. And that's just what I can list off the top of my head. I'm not a neoconserva

    Mobile Safari, yes. At least from a webdev standpoint. Desktop Safari isn't as bad as IE imo.

    Anti slip would be amazing. Without a case my iPhone X slips on every surface, including my hands. The notch isn't so bad, I'll fullscreen videos and don't even notice it.
