Yes. There's business interest in getting legislators/officials distracted from what is really good land management, namely prescribed fires and public services around clearing combustibles away from infrastructure and homes.

You seem to be thinking that Apple will introduce under-screen cameras next... I highly doubt that. Under-screen will never have the fidelity of a camera without layers of screen in front of it. If anything the notch's dead space will

I'm saving up to replace my personal intel MBP with a new one partially because using my work MBP I really appreciate that little bit of extra screen space. In regular use I hardly notice the notch, sometimes I'll even have fun wa

Fighting wildfires is expensive, which means it's big business. There's absolutely business interests in keeping wildfires raging. Fire suppression means the government gets to purchase planes and helicopters, 3M can supply countl

Even better, external NVMe SSD enclosures over Thunderbolt 3 can reliably read at 2500 Mbps and write at over 1500 Mbps. That's faster than internal SSD R/W speeds a few years ago. The newer generation of enclosures coming out cla

My point is that I'm sure the only way iCloud is profitable or even break-even for Apple is if they rely on over-provisioning storage to users of the more paid plans. I started paying for the 200GB iCloud+ plan, and once my photos exce

I agree with you here and that's why I'm mildly surprised they haven't come up with a solution rolled into iCloud yet. Syncing apps and preferences shouldn't be that difficult, but unless they're App Store applicati

I'm mildly surprised they haven't, but the reasons seem pretty obvious. Redundancy (in offerings), storage costs, and home network upload speeds. Redundancy because the thing most people care about backing up is media and importan

In this situation it's not necessarily how 'big' the rural area is, it's the topography. As the crow flies, the basin in the SNRA these beavers were dropped into isn't more than ~60 miles away from where they were p

Yeah, I actually switched from Firefox to Safari this month. I didn't know Safari had tab groups, the feature I missed from Chrome when using Firefox. No speed differences and Safari has less of a battery impact so far. Hard to complai

Right. Walmart doesn't let someone drive up with a semi-load of what looks like bags of King Arthur bread flour, mark the pallets with a tag, and cut them a check when they stock the items from that pallet onto the shelf. That's b

The treatment itself didn't generate any new floaters, but in the past year I did start experiencing a set of new floaters which correlates with the new atrophic hole my doc found. It's taken a few months but I can finally just ig

Oh, that's good to know. Throttles are commonly by-wire, but I must have misinterpreted the move away from hydraulic to electric steering assist as moving from mechanical to signals. Thank you for the correction.

I briefly took up a hobby of trying to raise some tomato plants indoors. The lights that claim to emit the full spectrum of non-visible light to match sunlight are insanely expensive (thermally and otherwise). There's probably more to

The article talks about that a bit, there have been a number of 'causes' of myopia that are 'common knowledge' but end up not holding water. Genetics and close-up work being the two major scapegoats. Modern studies are s

Very true, if it were very common you'd see retinal surgery centers in every hospital or more blind folks in rural communities. Thankfully it's not so rare that we don't have decent treatment for it. Like the article pointed

Glad you got yours taken care of! They were definitely concerned about the tear, they're apparently common but when asymptomatic they're hardly noted (or even noticed if in the peripheral retinal areas). The laser is definitely un

Same here (until I started getting new ones)! The best thing to do is to get a dilated fundus exam by someone who really knows retinas to rule out anything major if you start noticing them more.

Well, the real problem is that children's eyes aren't getting enough sunlight exposure to trigger dopamine production, which regulates the lengthening of the eyeballs, while cooped up inside. Eye strain is muscle fatigue, unrelate

Close-up work (crafts, reading, computers) causing myopia 'makes sense', I heard the same thing as a kid in the States. It makes me wish we would have had more P.E. classes outside, rather than 'giving our eyes a break'

Floaters have many causes. An early sign of retinal detachment will be floaters until it progresses closer to the macular hole, at which point the symptoms will be more of a curtain being drawn across your vision. I was able to catch a reti

Three years ago at age 25 I booked an eye exam due after getting some new floaters. After imaging my eye doc came in and asked if I was comfortable driving while dilated, because he would be dilating and numbing my eyes before sending me of

I've always taken it for granted that stuff like MIPs on your record get sealed or expunged once you hit 21. IMO it's silly to have it be a mark on your record even temporarily, but insane to me that some states don't automat

I'm assuming the intended application of this is to kill bacteria colonizing a biological host. In order for that to work, the treatment needs to be selective in what it kills. If human/animal/plant cells have any mechanism t

It's a real concern for fire departments that don't have readily available equipment to deal with massive battery fires. Even though it's rare it's still worthy of criticism. EVs are way heavier than ICE vehicles with a

Yes, if you have downstream services that need to make use of your data, you would provide an API. That way you can manage the number of connections, how the queries are formed, any sort of encoding/decoding, authorization, caching, et
