>In a recent analysis, we found that 53 million workers ages 18 to 64—or 44% of all workers—earn barely enough to live on. Their median earnings are $10.22 per hour, and about $18,000 per year. Right away, they're presenting some la

There would be consequences if he sued, but most likely the complaint will just be reversed and everybody moves on. Based on the article, though, the MTA might have a good faith defense. If they believed it was based on their map, and retra

My killer Android feature is having a microsd card. Not supporting that is very inconvenient of Apple. I've tried both Windows and Mac, I just like Ubuntu better.

What model?

by ikeboy 7y ago
I've used a $50 pair that had that feature, if I cared about it I'd use that over Airpods.

I've been switching between my Ubuntu laptop and Android phone. Pretty simple, I do need to disconnect it manually on one device before switching to the other but that takes a second. I don't believe Airpods would be any better in

My $50 funcl AI would disconnect if you touch the right earbud for a few seconds, and you could then connect on the other device. But that died a few months in.

What exactly is this seamless pairing that Airpods do so much better than everyone else? I've not noticed much in the way of seams on the other wireless earbuds I've tried. Connect on device, it works, and autoconnects next time.

When you can buy three units for the price of one, warranty doesn't really cut it. And it's easy to find competitors with a one year warranty. The latest one I'm using is earfun, with 30 hour battery life (longer than Airpods

by ikeboy 7y ago
My understanding is that the Airpods are not better than the high-end competition. There's plenty of $100-150 Bluetooth earbuds that have better sound quality, and a handful of sub-$100 ones that are just as good. You're paying fo

It's talking about consumer spending, which would affect business profits potentially but not business valuations directly.

"Since the people who would spend the money (i.e., the less wealthy) don't have it, making returns becomes more difficult." The claim is that there's less spending and this means returns, i.e. business profits are harder

Even so, Harry Potter is a broader phenomenon than just that. That should have been clear already in the early 2000s, after the first few movies. There is an interesting question about where the line gets drawn. I'm inclined to exclude

The "add 11" trick in my comment is easier to remember and apply than dividing by 12 and taking remainders.

by ikeboy 7y ago
The version they have here is somewhat inefficient and not well presented. You can get from the year to the doomsday by a simpler formula: If odd, add 11; divide by 2; if odd, add 11. Count up to nearest multiple of 7 So e.g. 1955 turns int

That's a different issue from Google not providing the actual notice. It shouldn't prevent you from filing a counternotice with whatever information was provided - did it?
