I find it hard to believe that apple couldn't make additional colors if they wanted. I don't think it's a lack of technological know how. They could pick that up without acquiring a entire additional company. Limited colors

Wouldn't it be reasonable to observe the house for a while before a raid? That's where you pick up on clues as to who lives there. "Hmmm, seems to be a lot of small children here and not too many gang style criminals. Ok,

As someone that has had alopecia aereata in the past, I will get my hopes up! There are definitely worse fates in the world than alopecia aereata, but not having people ask if I intentionally shaved a random section of my head would be nic

Useful if you are at work or watching something else. You get the "yo" and switch channels or browser windows to see the replays. I could see this working for baseball as well. Sure there is something nice about watching a full

Is that really a good strategy? I've seen this reason before (buy the company for the people), but is it really reasonable to spend over $1B on a company for such a small number of employees? I don't see Yahoo! needing to keep t

Laundry server sounds interesting. We just reprogrammed the logic board with a few switches on our laundry to make it free for those in the know and twice as much as the other floors for everyone else (keep the riff raff away). It was a s

I've been checking out fivethirtyeight every few days. You are correct. The quality has gone down since relaunching. I believe this is due to the wider focus and the need to pump out articles. They still do some decent sports arti

Self reply, I hope that's okay. I looked into this more (had an urge to learn Spanish today). Frequency dictionaries might be a good place to start. Here's the Spanish one I found [1]. It's a dictionary sorted by frequency

Also, their constant reminders that I can pay for their software out of my refund or get an extra 10% refund by having it all placed on an Amazon gift card. Really annoying to see (and have to click through) when I OWE money.

I was a residential contractor until a few years ago. This would be great for estimating. Nice way to replace a pad of paper with less than stellar drawings on it. When estimating I'd still take pictures of the rooms to help me recal
