Canada's providers decided to shut down CDMA in favor of an all-LTE network, and I think they're better off for it. I really hope that we could see that in the next five years for Sprint/T-mo: existing Sprint customers get up

Sure, but there are still tons of touchscreens in the cabin -- controlling the climate, the lighting, and the playback of the safety video.

It might be that the cellular internet with data caps/metering counts as high speed internet by the FCC definition? My cellular phone is capped at ~10 GB of data; over the last month my household (with five people in it) has used ~460

I daresay, it's even worse than that. Your neighbors are actively fighting against the installation of infrastructure that would enable faster internet speeds. AT&T tried to bring FTTN to San Francisco years ago, but neighbors decr

There are always corner cases. For example, clang-format at $day_job doesn't understand semantically that I want my 4x4 matrix constant to be formatted as 4 rows with 4 numbers each; putting all 16 numbers in a single long array will g

I was under the impression that Apple Health is designed so that Apple itself doesn't have access to this data, even in aggregate. Is that not the case?

Both the Federal and Provincial governments have comparable self-assessment tools on their websites. This doesn't appear to be much more sophisticated than that: Here's the Federal self-assessment: https://ca.thrive.hea

Two meters straight-line distance because that's how far your sneeze travels. If it's around a bend, then someone's sneeze isn't going to hit you; it will hit the wall first.

From the FAQs, it looks like normally the Internet Archive uses DRM to limit the number of borrowed copies to the number of physical copies they have. Instead, they are now temporarily allowing more digital copies of the book to be borrowed

I was under the impression that the NHS had been sourcing ventilators from a French manufacturer, but France decided to nationalize that manufacturer and stop exports. Although I do wonder how much of a home-built solution will be "des

It's totally okay to manually set the YouTube player to 4K for this use case. For low-motion static content like a slideshow or console window, a ultra-low frame rate usually results in acceptable fidelity while minimizing bandwidth, b

The confirmed case graphs have a lag time of a week or two, because you can only get a test after you start showing symptoms, and they take a long time to run. We also don't know what the graphs would have looked like if we didn't

If you're in the US, just make sure you sign into your brokerage account once or twice every year, to avoid your stocks going into escheat. Here's an episode of Planet Money which tells the tale of a man who bought some Amazon sto

No, I feel the same way. I went to the page for SFMOMA, and honestly I feel like the architecture of the building and the arrangement of the pieces in the space totally gives it the "museum feel". The pictures of the art struck me

Under normal times, if you tell your doctor that you're planning on traveling, sometimes they'll ask if you want anti-malaria medication, and I believe chloroquine is one of the options they give you.

They start making the flu vaccine the year before. It takes six to nine months, and lots of chicken eggs. Here's a Planet Money rerun that talks about how they make the regular flu vaccine: https://www.npr.org/2020&#x2F

I would suggest double checking the fine print for your university-provided insurance for the period between school ending and your internship starting. And coverage limits -- a hospital stay can get very expensive here. Also check if your
