Arguably, Trump had “a well documented history of lying, misleading, bullshitting, etc.”, and yet he was making a killing during his 2016 election run both for social media and the traditional media (cnn, nyt, etc.) companies. You couldn’t

Anecdotal side-tangent: had a terrible second-hand experience with AWU. I was an employee, and a friend of mine was interviewing at Google. After one of his interviews, he called me up and asked if I heard of AWU. I was not sure what prompt

You are right about some of the “easy to think of” ways to grab being awkward (e.g., pulling by one strap). However, there is definitely “the one” way to grab it that is super easy and was recommended to me at the store by an employee. You

Oh, that’s interesting. The one time I had to use OneMedical services was when I was on a work trip to another state and was afraid I broke my hand after falling on the street and scraping off the entirety of my knee skin. Scheduled a quick

You don’t need to look down for this. You look at the windows that you want to move/interact with, which are presumably in front of you (not down below), and that acts as a pointer. While your hands are on your lap, which you use to cl

Well yeah, once you go down in standards of living low enough, the math flips over in favor of having children again. Because at that point, the mortality rate of children is high enough, you need extras just in case. And then someone’s got

Where do you think Apple got the expertise and prior experience for hitting a homerun with M1? The gap was always there, but people don’t tend to look at tech specs on phones the same way as they do on desktops (which makes sense, given tha

Looking at the wikipedia page, I think they were built irl. They have many pics comparing “xenobots generated by a computer” to their “created in real life” analogs. That’s just what I got out of reading the page though, so I would be glad

Yeah, but XTAL 3 MR has zero standalone capabilities and requires being tethered to a rather beefy PC to function at all. From their own page, the very minimum requirements for the PC are 32GB RAM and an RTX2060 GPU. And that’s a minimum,

All good, no worries at all. Just wanted to make sure that this was what you actually meant, and that I didn’t interpret it incorrectly.

That's why companies like Apple have very strongly enforced rules related to this for their employees, like blackout windows on trading AAPL shares and not allowing them trading AAPL shares at all. And there are even more restrictions

They probably just saw the title of the article and assumed that it was talking about allowing alternate browser engines on iOS. Can’t blame them, the title is rather misleading. I originally thought the same thing until I read the actual a
