In some ways, this reminds me of the debate over whether it's "worth it" to make the Mac Pro. As a percentage of sales it's tiny. But there are other reasons they do it that aren't about the profit they get from tha

I'm not a photo guy -- I have like 4 photos on my phone total (one for each of the people I care the most about -- but it seems to me like Apple should just create a DSLR camera. It doesn't seem any more out-of-place for them as t

The best description of the specifics here I've seen came from reddit: > Leadership has been told that all PT TMs will not be able to work more than 19hrs a week and that even those originally grandfathered from this restriction are

If this is about China, then why wouldn't other countries want to join us in changing the fee structure? Better to team up with other nations than pull out and be all alone on a framework that's far bigger than China and relates t

I think I was too negative in that comment. I apologize. I do think you're minimizing the issue in the way you talk about it, but the line about you not being aware of problems wasn't justified in the slightest and was just rude.

They don't need phone calls in some jails that cost over $20 for 15 minutes. Please don't make excuses for a corrupt system. Yeah, this is a win, but the problem is MASSIVE and in so many different domains. Frankly, you don't

They're still making a great point. Yeah it's progress but I think most people aren't aware of the extent of the problem, making further progress impossible. There's some really terrible abuses happening, like replacing

I'd like it to be a primary device where you can also use it with an iPod Touch optionally for just rare moments when you want to either take a decent photo or interact with a screen. For this to work well for me personally, though,

What I'm suggesting is that it scares me a bit, as an Apple user, to see Apple acting in such a hostile way PUBLICLY to a party letting them know about a security issue. I understand where they're coming from -- as I said, I also

I had only seen the headlines, but I learned new facts from this personally. So in that way it was effective. That said, I agree with you that Apple should be THANKING Google for bringing potential issues to them (no matter the intent behin

ZipCar seems to be unique (at least among cars I've used) in that you can't open the doors with a dead battery and it seems there's no mechanical backup. As a result the car needed to be towed. Additionally, you seem to be ig

The headline was "When I Took My Zipcar Into the Wilderness." It's a pretty underwhelming headline and I have no idea why anybody would possibly object to it. How is that clickbait? Even the subheadline is a pretty fair descr

I think it's a bad idea to do this for reasons others mentioned. It's the willingness to look away that incentivizes more poor behavior that puts the mission at risk. But I appreciate the honesty about it.

Then differentiate! My point is "online dating" is a non-sensical way to differentiate Tinder from www.MutualInterestForums.com. Maybe use "algorithmic dating" as a term? And even then, the algorithm is also often inform

You'd be surprised by how many service jobs use the internet all day as part of their jobs. I can't speak as much to manual labor, but imagine it's similar to service work in which while not in front of a desktop computer the

I think what the study is really talking about is "algorithmic-based" introductions. But excluding a situation where you see a friend-of-a-friend comment on Instagram and sending them a message from "online dating" just

At some point, it's just called "dating." This is like saying I'm doing "online job seeking" because I find out about jobs online. At a certain point, that's just the default for how it's done. Simila

I'm generally not home during the day. Keeping them closed means I come home to a cooler house. But yes, I agree with your broader point being made generally-speaking. When I'm home, I'm using fans, including my window fan to

Why would I try it in Atlanta? I'm not arguing nobody should be allowed A/C. My point is that there's a lot that I do to lessen the amount that I use here in DC.

It's the noise of window air conditioners that bothers me more than anything else. My hearing is average, but for some reason I get annoyed by noise more than others. This is true when it comes to everything from restaurants to commu

Interesting, I hadn't heard that. That certainly makes sense. Might have to stop that one. This was just the one or two times I use the A/C, because otherwise my bedroom windows are both open (one of which with a window fan). But

I don't think I'll be able to do it when I'm older. Heat stroke is a serious thing and if I ever had a sense that my body wasn't good I'd 100% use A/C more. (Also I don't have kids.)

I only use air conditioning once or twice a year (in DC). This article was very interesting, but if you can't rebuild your home you have fewer options. Here's how I deal with it to make it not miserable. 1. You don't need to

Facebook deleted a ton of the really valuable ad settings controls I used to prevent bad advertiser behavior somewhat recently. I'd rather have that ability to block advertisers uploading data I didn't give them than this feature.

Another example: how people dress. It's bizarre that for most employers in the U.S., if you don't dress professionally enough in your interview you won't get a job. Even in jobs where you have a uniform and can't choose
