The difference is that the dollar doesn’t drop 30% of it’s value while you’re asleep - something BTC has done multiple times, including recently.

I think GP’s point was that he was fired for anti-Semitic remarks, while he made remarks about white people that were ignored: “ those without dark skin "have a deficiency" and have acted as "savages" throughout history.

The 13” MBP line has been bifurcated for a couple of years, the M1 replaced the low-end of that line. The split started when Apple first tried to replace the MacBook Air with the MacBook Pro sans-touchbar (aka the MacBook escape), and the l

That's another thing that a permanent WFH mindset can solve - move. I've been WFH for ~20 years, and can't imagine giving up the freedom I have in selecting a home. I still live in the Bay Area, but it's a 45min (no tra

The wired ISP market in the US is the exact opposite of "free market". It's government enforced monopolies, or in the better cases, duopolies. The point to it as a failing of the free market is to misunderstand how regulatio

Most carriers don't have hard 10-20Gb data caps anymore, and the fixed 5G services that are rolling out from T-Mobile and Verizon don't either. That data cap thing was very 2015, and I haven't seen one other than a tethering

If there's no lightning bolt marking, it's just a charge & USB 2.0 cable, not thunderbolt. Genuine Apple Thunderbolt cables are marked, and the one you got with your MacBook for charging isn't one.

This looks nice, but requiring an email during setup, with no explanation or discernible reason - and demanding a work email at that - seems very creepy. This decision alone removes my trust in your product and your company, sorry.

Thank you! I was one of the kids in school in BC whose life was likely changed by that. In spite of the feelings of the teachers, it worked. One day one of us (may be, maybe it was my friend Ronny, I dunno) figured out that we could open up
