I find Apple's refusal to patch iOS18 (other than for very old devices that do not support 26) to be more objectionable. I have a 13 mini and everything I've read says not to upgrade to 26. Yet Apple won't issue patches for k

Were there any moves on Polymarket or other platforms that could have triggered these trades in the "real" market?

You don't want to be able to communicate with your doctor, kid's teacher, someone who is coming to repair your home, a neighbor who just moved in, etc.?

Fair enough...$10/mo seems high. And I say this as someone in the target demo.

In the age of FT audio calls and such, it seems out of place. I get paying for the hardware, and even a bit of a premium because the UI has so many parental controls. But charging a monthly fee seems surprising since the differentiation ver

I had a friend from Korea who thought it wasn't necessary/was improper to rub chopsticks together. This wasn't a matter of offending the restaurant, since we were eating in a university cafeteria. I always rub mine together,

I've definitely heard stories of people who wanted to sell their stock after being acquired, couldn't because of vesting/lockup, and were glad because it went up a lot in the meantime.
491.
by apparent 7mo ago
Yeah, the question is how much they paid and what other options the Clockwise team had. I wasn't going to speculate about that, since I've no idea.
492.
by apparent 7mo ago
That's what the vesting period is for, to ensure the team sticks around for long enough that the acquirer can figure out who is most valuable and make it attractive for them to stay.

Typically when a company is acquired and the product is swiftly shut down, the value sought was the team. Although Salesforce has plenty of engineers, they may not have a team that does what the Clockwise team does.

I'm not disagreeing with your suggestion that a mechanism would be needed to set the "preferred accent/dialect" for a listener. My point is that when I was referring to accented English, I was referring to people for who

by apparent 7mo ago
Well, all English belongs to a dialect (British, American, subgroups thereof), but I wouldn't say that all English is accented. I'm usually OK with British and Australian, but would need to slow it down a bit for Irish or Scottish

Overcast has per-podcast default speeds.

by apparent 7mo ago
Pretty cool, would be great if it could detect accented speech and have a different normalized speed for that. I listen to most people at 2x or more, but I can't usually understand accented English quite that fast.

I think it's harder to spoof toll free numbers. For example, you can't block caller ID in the same way. I'm sure it's still possible to spoof, but just might be a little harder.

I wonder how people would feel about: MagSafe + 2 USB C, all on the left vs 3 USB C, 2 on one side and 1 on the other I don't care much about MagSafe, but it is sometimes annoying to have to plug everything on the left. If given the op

Not if their goal is to make money on repairs/upgrades! Kidding aside, I think this is one of their key differentiators from the MBA line. It's partly the MagSafe itself, and partly that you have an extra USB port open even when c

Interesting that the headphone jack is on the left! Have there ever been any other MacBooks where this was the case (no pun intended)?

The 13" MBA has the same approximate external dimensions as the 11" MBA. I know because it easily fits in the snug case that I've had ever since I got my 11" MBA. They basically shrank the bezels down. If they made it sm

This article is about tech publications. I think of the FT as a financial/general news publication. Do others read them for their tech coverage?
