And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile... And you may find yourself paying for 5TB of cloud storage with feature bloat... And you may ask yourself, "Well... how did I get here?"

IOT is going to utterly trash the auto industry (which admittedly is already in poor shape) and make an even larger mess of the environment by turning cars into pre-mature waste - because you mentioned, it's not been thoughtfully imple

Apple has billions of data points about batteries with iPhones, Macbooks, iPads, etc..... Obvious those are not used in the same manner car batteries are, but still. I'd say there's a slim possibility. But clearly it's a toug

Disabled against the context of "normality". You can function obviously, but not as society expects you to or even in way they can understand. For that reason, you receive the label of "has a disability". The term "

I'm consistently amazed at how rapidly technology has progressed in 20 short years. Look how long it took us to get from the Vitruvian Man in ~1,500 to barely performing surgery in the early 1900's. This is pretty incredible.

I'd enjoy some numbers on the environmental damage of laptop versus desktop consumption. My desktop is 6 years old with an i7 CPU (high-end) and 750Ti GPU (entry level). My monitor is a 24" 1080 Samsung bought new in 2009 for ~$12

The problem is NOT that data is used for targeted advertising. The problem IS that I don't trust who owns and shares that data and what else it could be used it for. -- In a theoretically perfect trustworthy world, would I relax my sec

The dark reality is NOT that people can't compete against monolithic companies. It is that companies have tens of billions of dollars they can spend to acquire companies that are hundred-million-plus net-losers. That lump sum of acquis

Great outcome for both sides. Josh gets the exit he really seems to need for his personal and financial well-being. Xenon gets one heck of a product for honestly quite cheap. Better marketing will actually go a long way here.

I got the same result across 4 different accounts. There are 4 different ones I use. One I use professionally, one to mod an extremely large subreddit, one I use that’s semi-anonymous, and one I’ve had for like 8 years. Different audiences

This is whole thing about whether drivers should be full-time employees is so overthought. If Uber and Lyft are set on not paying the drivers full time, just cap the hours a driver can have at 20 per week. That will fix mostly everything. -

I hope whenever this sees its day in court that whatever the verdict is, it errs on the side of privacy over laissez faire business practices. I am concerned though. Some precedent has been set with opening up default maps and browser choic

For all the crap the non-Sorkin episodes get, that episode should be in the Hall of Fame for TV. Both the script and acting are of the highest caliber.

Now if they'd just give the iPad Mini the thinner bezel. A 9" screen on that would be my dream. I take my mini everywhere because of the form factor. (Also, touch ID integrated into the top button is great)

I agree that massive batteries have an environmental cost that has nowhere near been researched thoroughly. I too think that they are not advanced enough to be easily be called a "green" option. That said, Lucid is not improving r

The title should be updated as it is misleading in a critical way. The word "big" suggests the size and weight of the battery is bigger, which is not the case. That would be entirely unremarkable. Their quote directly states this:

I think a lot of what he's talking about boils down to basic communication issues. Venture Capital would be helped by a formal renaming of funding rounds. "Series A" or "Series B" is not indicative of what that mone

Not a fan of this idea, but I would support “marketplaces” which could be like public playlists on Spotify for companies or influencers who want to share what apps they use. Could bake in referral code tracking to apps so developers know wh

Thank you for the recommendation. Looks like it has all the security features I’m desperately missing from all Google products and would make their products an easy default go-to.
