My GF and I recently moved from NYC to Los Angeles and an Uber driver once asked her "Are you from NY?", "Yes, why?", "Because your rating is so low and people from NYC usually have really low ratings." We chec

My company gave us all brand new MacBook Pros with the touchpad and new terrible keyboard. It is amazingly fast and the speakers sound great, but overall I cannot approach the productivity of my 2015 model given the increased typos and acci

I saw the Hobbit movies at 48fps and it was not good. There is something about our brains that makes us reject higher frame rate footage as being... subjectively unappealing. A casual perusal of the reviews of the Hobbit HFR films, reveal

Easiest way for Apple to fix this is to expand the TouchBar thing to handle the whole keyboard and add some haptics. Everyone will hate it but... it will be reliable and amazingly thin. Maybe use too much power?

What about "safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver" being the keyword? Isn't Tesla's autopilot doing better than humans do in the same number of miles? We just all hear about it every time a Tesl

I assume they have a test suite that allows them to run 1000s of situations on the latest version of software to see if it crashes/almost crashes on any of them. If so, it seems like it would be fairly easy to add this situation to the

I would think that after following Google's search endeavors so closely for so long, being invited to join Google and see it from the inside must be incredibly exciting. If it is, congratulations! Have fun!

Yes. The biggest % change was during the years 2003-2008 and as far as I can tell the chart peaked in 2011 and receded slightly after that.

Yes. 90% of money being held by a few people whose material needs are already satisfied does not create demand for products and services but mostly inflates stock prices and real estate and other "wealth storage" types of assets.
