Some small airports made sense at the time they were built, but no more (either because planes are bigger now or because construction around the airport was not adequately restricted in ensuing decades. Congonhas in Sao Paulo is an example

I think this isn't controversial on the tech side, but on the business side it is absolutely 100% more important to deeply understand the business and build a meaningful, useful network than it is to half-ass your way on the tech side.

With non-Apple Watches, you can't 1) reply to texts, 2) answer phone calls (or place calls), 3) interact with other native iPhone applications (like Apple Health). You'll pry my Garmin from my cold, dead hands but there's no

What you might consider if finding an ebook reader app and using that. I had a similar issue but on Android (for ebooks not in kindle format). I ended up with Librera but there are several. Turns out it's also equally great at acade

The irony, of course, with that, is that then Google/Alphabet like Microsoft eat its lunch in the space by poorly supporting The Broad and allowing Verily to sign a $150m deal with Azure. Quite a few of the folks who were working on H

I don't buy this for a minute. It's very easy to train people to work in factories and there are lots of Americans willing to do it if the pay is right. These companies are just complaining so they can get more federal handouts

That's a silly anecdote and I have a hard time believing chip fab line workers are too much different from those in other types of high-tech (where I spent 15 years working on test automation & quality systems). Some smart folks,

I have a university account from 1995. I have a VWVortex (car forum) account from 1999. I used to have a sheet of paper with handwritten account information that I know I wrote in 1999-2000, but I've lost it.

fwiw, my wife uses Freestyle Libre 3 and the with-insurance cost every two weeks is about $40. Whenever she's had one fail (which seems to be about 1:10), Abbott has replaced it free of charge and sent a pre-paid label so she can retu

Software as a Medical Device has been a regulated "thing" for years now, and in this case the Abbott Freestyle app is a mandatory requirement for the CGM To function. If the app can't connect to the CGM, the thing will mak

That weird fork the second from the right was from when Google was aspiring to become a bank... or at least partner with one, to offer credit cards. The far right branch is the "Next Billion Users" stream that launched Tez, which

My read is that there's the Google Pay app (that currently handles tap-to-pay + all your payments), and Google Wallet (which handles cards only). In the near future, Wallet will handles cards + payments (including subscriptions) + tap

Fwiw, if you're using SMS still and on purpose, the Messages app is as good as it gets. It is actually pleasurable to use, and there are a lot of cases where trying to get friends/acquaintances to identify the right 3rd party mes

It's because the VP in charge of Google Pay was based in Singapore and he ensured it was designed for that market (as well as the US).

This should be the canonical answer pasted to the top. You forget to mention the head of Tez was actually based in Singapore, though, and Singapore was the one other country that was eligible for the "new" gPay. What's uncle

Agreed, and additionally, at that time there were no significant SMS alternatives in the US, most people had dumb phones, and no messaging apps came with the sort of supplementary features we have grown accustomed to in the past ten years.
