I love the public sharing link, this is something I’m often looking for and wishing for and it seems like lots of the knowledge management solutions skip over it

There are other non-financial factors that I'm sure would also be part of the decision making, particularly because Apple can afford to totally forego that $10b from google if they wanted to. Off the top of my head: (1) the reputationa

I definitely agree that our brains work wonders and I'm not denying the main point you're making at all, but there is also an element of confirmation bias inherent here because you'll never look for the notes you don't r

I think part of it at least is being able to operate on spreadsheet-style data in a contiguous environment, building it into the document in a way that you can’t if there’s a file type divide

If you watch a video like this and notice things that you can apply to improve your own approach to your daughter, then that makes you a good parent.

I see what you’re saying about real world identity but digital identities don’t [have to] share those constraints. Digital identities can be instantiated and discarded at will.

Funny you should ask, at my work this was a recent source of tension because a culture had emerged of people using bcc to silently keep others apprised of tense email exchanges — so that someone would have seen the exchange before gossip we

Oh that's great! I wonder if that will interfere at all with typical Apple Pay use, presumably not.

The magsafe is really cool but for anyone interested in the wallet accessory just be careful with putting NFC chipped cards there. Paying with Apple Pay from your phone could get confusing.

Sorry, it’s not clear if this is meant in sarcasm—- maybe I’m misinterpreting, but how exactly is legislation passed if not by majority vote?

Seems like it hints at — is price fixing the right form of anti-competitive behavior when players mutually agree not to compete?

It seems like it would be a lot easier to convince people to take that point seriously by funding the post office until after the election and having the discussion then. Funding USPS for the rest of the calendar year is, in relative terms,

So if fortnight was allowed to have their own App Store would it need to be downloaded via the App Store? I see people on both sides of this issue and I know it’s heated, but I’m honestly a bit confused about how it would work in practical

What’s the rush? With so many people concerned about the election, if all of this is actually about the business viability of the service, surely it can’t hurt to make sure they’re fully resourced for the next few months so that no one will

Video games are great, but the future of education is personal relationships and caring. There’s this (seems like mostly unchallenged) assumption that more technology improves education. What if more (or any) technology is actually counter-

I think you have a point. I think I'll watch for a consensus about replacement terms and just start using them in my own everyday language.

I absolutely respect that, and honestly I'm not sure how much energy needs to be spent on these terms. I agree that it would be an overall negative if we allowed something that might be insignificant like these systemic terms to distra

Sorry, I don't think I follow your argument. My best interpretation is that you're saying that knives in my kitchen could potentially cut someone, and therefore if I care about the harm caused by terms like "master" and

Personally, and perhaps I should have said this in my first comment, I would challenge the premise that the dictionary definition should be a controlling factor in responding to this whole question. For me, it's more about looking at t

The first definition reads, “a man who has people working for him, especially servants or slaves.” Wouldn’t that seem to justify moving in a direction of updating these terms?

It seems like if college study is going to move online there will still need to be opportunities for young people to come together and network in a way that will be functionally similar to a college campus. I could see some sort of cooperat
