I'm surprised that Chinese sellers aren't paying attention to language disparities and hiring translation services. Are they simply trying to streamline price so aggressively that it's just not worth it?

Couldn't the government punish the people who are facilitating this? In their eyes this would be akin to carrying around a camera for a Russian spy, no?

This argument could go on forever, but why create a design that necessitates a footer to begin with? I mostly agree with the article, but it's crazy to say any one design solution is universally good/bad. There are good and bad wa

It's absurd that an IoT device contacts a server hundreds of miles away when I'm inside my house turning on my lights via wifi.

The forward inertia of the engine isn't the problem if you're hitting a wall (though it is in a head-on collision), the cabin area is much squishier than an engine — so if the car is stopped from the front fast enough the cabin wi

So would like... the UN consider a drone strike an execution rather than combat?

Even if you track down the person in the chain of command who's responsible, they just get a slap on a wrist for making the "mistake" of bombing a civilian hospital.

While you're right, 15-20 years ago Apple was actually building hardware for creative professionals as well. A lot of people felt betrayed by the consumer shift because the creative industry was all that really kept Apple afloat for a

Serious question: is there a definition of the difference between execution and combat?

Tesla stock is absurdly fickle.

Yes, but it's just generally the laws of physics. If you have 600lbs of metal in front of you there's a lot more energy that has to go somewhere (the cabin).

After it's passed to collections you can't do much, it's too late. A "couple years" is 7 years. The US credit industry is absurd.

Doesn't Nest have like 1200 employees? What are they doing day-to-day? With that many people it seems like you'd almost release a product accidentally.

It's a bit different though, isn't it? The 3GS was a successor. The current models share the same space. 2009: iPhone 3GS 2016: iPhone — 6S, 6S Plus, SE

Right, but if there's flexibility to change the specific inputs... maybe you can change motions when/if they're becoming a problem? Or maybe people should work less?

Exactly. An unintended result of the advent of reliable/portable touch devices was the reduction in physical hardware input. Instead of clamping down a joystick to a desk and moving it around with your face... or looking away from con

That could be interesting, eye tracking is often expensive and can require a "just-right" type of setting. Reducing that barrier can be huge for many. I think outside of a single solution like eye-tracking there's a lot of ro
