I think the full switch lands at the end of September, but already some of the Waitrose Essentials items are going out of stock a lot faster than they used to; the limited depth of stock for these items has served to remind me which items I

The funny thing is, if you were to look for distilled water at any of the available grocery chains (including their online stores) you would be out of luck unless you know to look for Glaceau smartWater at ASDA. The latter is not much less

Not sure where you are pulling this 60% number from, but last quarter iOS had 46% market share in the US. Additionally, you ignore non-smartphone systems as sources of news and content, where Apple has an even smaller market share.

Most allergies are to a protein in the thing you are allergic to, and refined oils that have a high smoke point usually have all of that removed (or it would cause the oil to smoke.) I have a peanut allergy but can eat anything fried by a

If the rocket equation is such an unforgiving bitch then why are you only using two stages to get to orbit? By your own logic you should be using four or five or even ten stages to get to orbit because otherwise you are hauling up too much

To take the fanboy's pride as an example, how much time is spent taking a Falcon first stage from landing to re-launch? Days? Weeks? Months? If you are expecting to use your launch infrastructure the same way we use a large commercia

A good way to look at this is to consider someone working for RJ Reynolds in the 70s. The pay is good, you are working on a product that people just seem to _love_, and everyone at the company seems pretty enthusiastic and committed. Ther

Since using iTunes/Music for this is apparently more than some are willing to put up with I did a bit more research and on a Mac it is even easier than what I suggested at first. Step 1: create an aac-encoded file with the .m4r extensi

It is sad that the WSJ sold out to the Murdochs and lost their way. It used to be the case that financial papers would have an agenda on their opinion pages, but when it came to making money people needed/wanted the truth or something

This is incorrect. It is fairly trivial to create a ringtone of up to thirty seconds from any track you have in iTunes and push it to your phone. I do this frequently and it took me less than ten seconds to find instructions for how to do s

Most people don't remember, but accelerometers used to be very expensive kit if you wanted to equip a drone or robot with one. Why did they get cheap? It wasn't phones, it was automotive airbags. If LIDAR can be made to work ef

That is how you kill a site. It should be easier to remove bad content than to create more crap. The table is already tilted towards those creating misinformation and spam, making it more costly to prune this is an incredibly bad idea.

You could do that. It is how most fossil fuels got underground in the first place. OTOH if you have the ability and available energy to bury all of that plant matter, maybe you could instead just convert the CO2 directly to carbonate and

Plants are not a sink for CO2, just a transition point. Any CO2 that is taken up by the plant gets released when it dies and decays.

But using a non-AGPL project is a cheap and easy solution for just about every use-case out there. If there was something special that was AGPL licensed it might matter, but there isn't so it is easy to avoid.

It has a gravity well, but it is not accurate to call it 'large.' LEO is deeper into a gravity well than the surface of the Moon; it takes less delta-v to get just about anywhere (including Geosync orbit) from the surface of the

Since most cancer treatments target fast-replicating cells and the gut is lined with such cells I think you have the arrow of causality backwards in this case.

Given the fact that the only way Russia was able to claw back a bit of Ukrainian territory was through outright invasion I think that the Ukrainian people do not share your misguided belief that it would be good for them to rejoin the CIS.

It is not just Peter Thiel. Some PACs aligned with the Democratic party are doing the same thing. Making Kobach the nominee is the best path to flipping the KS Senate seat over to the Dems. Kobach is political poison, but it does not sur

It is perverse, but there is a method to the madness. Some sentencing mitigations or parole decisions are based upon length of sentence. Someone who is given a 20 year sentence may be eligible for parole when, for example, 1/4 of the
