There’s a diner in SF I frequent. I usually sit 15 feet from the door, on a busy retail corridor, with Verizon premium network access. My iPhone XS reports two bars of LTE but there’s never enough throughout for DNS to resolve. Same at my d

I was initially excited by Apple News+. $13/month for access to a wide array of newspapers and magazines. Imagine my disappointment to learn that this paid "premium" service is plastered with ads. Adguard mostly blocks ads in

I've long hoped for Uber to roll out on-demand door-to-door UberPool with 14 passenger vans. They could match riders to drivers and find the optimal route in real time, with pricing and travel time falling between public transit and Ub

The spirit of the policy as understood by most is that employers pay most of the cost of healthcare for their employees, middle class or not. So it comes as a surprise to learn that Medicaid, a program meant for children, the disabled and u

You seem to think that healthcare is just like any other fringe benefit that employers and employees may mutually agree to in the employment market. But the US has a (deeply flawed) form of “universal healthcare” where the employer is requi

While vehicles partially on the sidewalk are a nuisance, they do provide a barrier between pedestrians and vehicles, and do have a traffic calming effect by narrowing the travel lane.

I would argue that the status quo is already expensive and ugly. Shouldn't any aesthetic claim be relative to the beauty of the parking lot itself, or of the carnage left by a vehicle after striking a pedestrian?

Has your mom heard of Tesla? Would she think of EVs when it’s time to buy a car? These are not fully mainstream consumer markets so the overlap between “aware of Elon” and “potential Tesla buyer” may be greater than you think. Tesla is famo

CarPlay runs on the phone and streams video to you in vehicle display. Even the Apple Watch Ultra does not have the compute or battery to run apps, render the display image and wirelessly send it to your car.

It’s worth mentioning that each country develops its own AQI scale, so comparisons between countries are meaningless.

The idea is that the politically active homeowners follow their self interest when they support policy which discourages new housing construction, driving scarcity in the housing market to raise prices.

The best practice is to vary your posture throughout the day. Think two hours sitting at desk, two hours standing, two hours lounging in the headset. I take breaks as needed but there’s value in a new technology enabling one to work for lon

I want the full Mac experience while sitting in an Eames lounge chair at the office or at home. A laptop forces you to look towards your lap, while a headset would allow you to make full use of the headrest as you gaze at the ceiling. I am

Aren't you conflating UnitedHealthcare with the US healthcare industry? Your point still stands, just off by under an order of magnitude.

NVIDIA, Apple, AMD, Qualcomm exclusively use TSMC for their best chips. Even Samsung prefers to use TSMC-fabbed Qualcomm SoCs over their in-house design and manufacturing for their flagship phones.

What about Texas? There’s the Johnson Space Center (“Houston we have a problem”), plus I thought SpaceX had a Starbase there too.

The issue was always mostly about monopoly power and not technical limitation. A hypothetical second coax network would achieve the same end result, but there’s no reason not to go with fiber for new installations today.

I haven’t seen ads on mobile Safari for as long as I can remember. Whether you choose to believe that is up to you. Can you point to an example where an extension like AdGuard would let an ad slip through? Precompiled declarative blocking i

All of your windows are on one of the 15 ft walls. You would need to have the lights on all day in many of the rooms, no opening a window for fresh air, limited escape options in case of emergency. Perhaps some of these concerns should be w

You can install UTM via AltStore but you’ll be limited to slow battery-hungry emulation. You might be able to use the hypervisor for hardware virtualization support via an exploit like TrollStore running on an older iPadOS. The OS will kill
