It's just a reference to making a boring, pervasive part of culture. Please feel free to buy those translations at any book company you feel like.

> It’s also funny that the scroll might just be a laundry list. Most likely not, I believe they're starting with scrolls that were readable on the outside, which we know are minor works of Greek stoic philosophy. Also a laundry list

Yes, the clay tablets were used over and over. The ones that are preserved have what was written on them when they were fired, accidentally, by being in a building that was destroyed by fire.

This is the 21st-century equivalent of living through the opening of Tut's tomb. Incredible to think there's a very real chance that in the medium-term future you might be able to buy a copy of a newly-translated work on Amazon th

Yes, the open sea connections wouldn't work at all without them. But I think they're still a minority of the fleet and it'll take a while to eventually upgrade to full coverage.

> It certainly can't be a congestion issue. There aren't any ground stations in the open ocean, so it all has to be routed between satellites to hop to one that has a connection to one. So it is a congestion issue.

It seems like it depends. If it's just paying fines, like where the EU uses US tech companies as a piggy bank, you can easily compare your revenue to the cost and decide to stay. It's not as much money as it would be otherwise, bu

Ideally it would; in practice, zoning and planning prevent supply from keeping up.

Yeah, I don't necessarily expect it to know that I always want my Watch, but I wish I could say "start a 10 minute timer on my watch" and have it do that.

I don't have as many issues with the Timers UI as the author does, but I will say for me that using Siri while cooking is mostly a no-go, because I have my Watch, my AirPods on, and a HomePod somewhere within earshot, and I only want t

I think they can be useful without saying you "highly trust" them. If you moderately trust them, you can still let them do grunt work that you'll know you have to look over before committing.

Nowhere, once the FTC loses (again).

Yeah, that's the problem. This is a deregulation that we can't even pretend caused any of those ills. It's kind of dumb to try to lump it in with the ones for which there's a case.

In case you don't know, there's a Screenshots smart album in Photos, and you could use that to relatively easily delete them all.

The 15 Pro Max has more and more different cameras than the 14 Pro does. I don't know whether it would actually work or not.

It's software plus cameras, they're stitching together video from various focal lengths. I don't think the non-Pro Max models will ever be able to do it.

The web is cross-platform and easier to deploy. The (non-?)existence of RAD tools for it vs VB pales in comparison to that advantage.

Yes, I agree. Put another way: It's hard for a movie with the best director or best screenplay to be a bad movie, but it's very easy for a movie with a great original song to otherwise be terrible.

I'd rather keep the survey data from the respected polling firm, actually. No need to assign it a weight of 100% truth, but certainly useful.
