Generally accepted philosophy of science is positivism, which states that 'why' in general is unanswerable and we should satisfy ourselves with descriptions. Therefore science is more about precise descriptions and their predictiv

For me the killer feature of fastmail is their Calendar. Having recently used Google Calendar I was astonished how totally unusable it is compared to fastmail's. I'd be glad to hear what calendar do you use, what are considered go

Remember those non-automatic mechanical watches? 2-5 days on a single charge was normal. Wireless charge + 2 days battery life is perfectly ok for most cases. OTOH, even mechanical watches can auto-recharge now, why not autorecharge smart w
