This is such an intelligent move, and one I've been secretly hoping Apple would make: get the streaming rights to a league that's "up and coming" and very popular with a younger demographic for what I assume is a bargain

Do you live in a place with weather? I think we'll get there eventually, but my timeline is closer to 20 years. I just don't see AVs nailing that last 1% for true peace of mind in places like the Eastern USA with torrential downpo

I had no idea he was so prolific outside of writing. It makes me wonder how much I would create if my only media access was radio and lived in a world with far fewer distractions. Then again, everything's relative and there exist many

Come to South Florida. The variety of delicious tropical fruits is dizzying.

Yeah it's pretty dark. The scrolling appears to be time-based. After you spend x milliseconds on a section, it'll let you move onto the next with any scroll event.

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing this. I could grok this one much more easily than the other algorithm.

I hope they stay in business for a long time. Not to sound like a shill or anything, but their shoes are some of the most comfy I've tried. I pretty much wear them to the office every day. Are there more comfortable shoes out there? I

I'm not saying some areas don't suffer huge losses and this might be a bit of survivorship bias, but living in Miami for 35 years, homes built from cinderblock with roofs secured with hurricane straps -- which have been part of th

I'm happy for their efforts and hope my kids never have to drive unless they want to, but I still think we're 20+ years out from level 4+ autonomy. Maybe when Waymo tests in a city that has weather -- like anywhere in the Northeas

Thanks, I see this occasionally in South Florida, but never knew there was a term for it. If it were me I'd have pulled over my bike for 10 minutes and waited for the air to clear. I'll never understand the motivations of some peo

That tiny bit of room for doubt is still much smaller than that for the virus itself. For example, once you get over chickenpox, the virus remains dormant in your nerve cells and could rear its head in the form of shingles later on in life.

Nah, airborne viruses affect the community so you can't leave it up to personal preference. It's similar to how a house fire can spread to neighboring houses regardless of the homeowner's preference to have it put out or not.

To a certain extent. If you show too much content at the expense of navigation you simply make your app harder to use. There’s a sweet spot in the UX bell curve and I feel like the new Safari missed the mark. Although, the iOS version looks

I figured as much, but was surprised by the 30% figure. I always assumed a tax rate of > 40% to support those social programs and benefits.

Which country is this? 30% seems reasonable for all that.

Ha, sadly my measly k32 plot is saying I'll win a block in 8 months. Still, it's a promising alternative to the Bitcoin blockchain. I think this might actually go somewhere. Their GUI is wonderful and dead simple to use.

Your theory jibes with my own account at the Heineken Experience in Amsterdam. I asked one of the tour guides if he was an American expat, and told me he just watched a lot of “Full House” growing up as a kid.

"Your spotify was midwestern-stoner-potty-training-baby-shark-prison bad." As a 35 y/o with a toddler I'd say they nailed it.

Apple seems to be at least 3 hours behind schedule as there's no sign of it here on the East Coast, yet.

I've noticed this too. If there's one thing that'll get me to kick my YouTube addiction, it'll be the increased ads. If it gets any worse, I think I'd rather read a book or just go to sleep earlier -- not a bad thin

Narwhal is criminally underrated. It's so fast and fluid, and you always have access to subreddits by swiping from the right. Apollo is good, but Narwhal deserves more love IMO.

For real. For the most part I love all things Google, but AMP makes my blood boil. How does it save me any time when I have to tap that little ‘i’ to get to the original website through all that janky scrolling? Ugh, infuriating. I feel lik
