   If the U.S. had instead somehow parachuted in 200,000 troops to Hiroshima, and then lined up and shot to death 100,000 men, women, children, elderly people, hospital patients, etc., and then burned every building down to the ground, would t

   We did it! It worked! So the trick is to first enable Restrictions, then toggle off Apple Music Connect, then do what bydo says in his comment above (Settings App -> Music -> Show Apple Music (off)). Pretty intuitive really. Great wor

   This happens to me, too, about once a week. I get a splash screen that won't go away until I do a hard "force close" on the app.

   I'm seriously, seriously considering this. Just gotta figure out how to make it happen. But my guess is that since my ipod touch is fairly new (1 generation old now) it won't work with old iTuneses.

   What enrages me to no end is that iTunes doesn't work well with my iPod Touch, a device designed to play music. 1. No, I don't want my iPod to use Apple Music by default. I'm carrying a device with 20GB of music on it, I do

   Okay, serious question: why can't I watch over-the-air TV on my smartphone? It's got a screen, audio, and at least one antenna. I'm no electrical engineer but surely that's something that's at least theoretically po

    Well, they wouldn't exactly put it that way in the press release. An alternate end-game would be ULA stringing together a few contract wins, pushing SpaceX to the brink, and then ol' Elon gets a nice offer from Boeing and Lockheed

    You're exactly right, except that I don't think ULA is going to have much trouble matching SpaceX's prices. They were in a monopoly situation before where they could name their own price (not really, but close enough). I coul

    A lot of the original discussion can be chalked up to HN's unfortunate habit of treating all front page material the same, regardless of whether it's an article proving Fermat's Last Theorem or a spur-of-the-moment blog post

    One thing that will help is the planned raising of the minimum wage in Japan, from around 800 yen/hour now to 1000 yen/hour in 2020. [0] The minimum wage in Japan is below-average by most measures for OECD countries. [1] [0] http

    But since this gold, did they actually measure the weight in international troy ounces, then convert (correctly or otherwise) to avoirdupois pounds, then maybe another incorrect or correct conversion to kilograms and metric tonnes?

    In Japan, in addition to public and quasi-public train companies, there are many private train and bus companies which are completely profitable with zero support from taxpayers. This won't work in non-densely-populated areas, but it&#

    Question A was about consumers and Question B was about "on average, citizens of the U.S." Too bad this article, as it says right in the headline, is about workers and not consumers or the average U.S. citizen. Nice try, though.
