It's terrible. The original reason Apple dropped this feature was because there wasn't an external bus that could push that many pixels. But Thunderbolt can do it now. This reuse would be more meaningful than preconsumer recycling

My mother runs a Montessori school and takes in the “problem” children that other schools push out. (It only annoys her that parents look at standardized test results without considering growth year over year.) Montessori is not a trademark

I might say that Microsoft didn’t really rearchitect the mobile OS until Windows Phone 8 in November 2012, which was based on Windows NT. Windows 7 was, well a new skin on Windows CE is reductive, but CE was the kernel.

Lot of assertions without citations in this thread. HN can do better. If you’ve never had something stolen before, let me flesh out your data point. The police almost never investigate theft of private property—if they do, it’s when there’s

I wish there were more detailed blogs on the building process. I really liked this construction blog with estimates and final numbers by category that educate you on how plans meet reality. https://ahousebythepark.com/journa

Think he did more than say “It’s not fair.” The law was on his side and he had it enforced. May we all be so brave.

Not exactly a prediction, but The Victorian Internet is a good read: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/victorian-internet-97816355739... That revolution was more about the speed that information travels than who has access

Meritocracy is a fine ideal, but in practice is based on selection algorithms, and like any algorithm it can be and is used to launder whatever biases you like. Who decided what was meritorious? who wrote the tests? Given what you're r

Let’s not focus too much on the use of ‘monopoly’, but why we care about monopolies. A company doesn’t have to have one to harm consumers and markets, and harm can be things other than high prices. See: Lina Khan. Some of the trust-busting

The going deal is, if there’s a power failure, we’ll let you recoup your costs from the taxpayers even as you profiteer. The governor can be bought for a very affordable $1 million. Certainly the incentives are aligned to solve this problem

When my 6yo saw the custom jetpack for figurines I made on an SLA printer, his eyes got wide. I think it was half because it was a piece he had only imagined, and half because he thought now he could have all the Lego he wanted for free. Ul

Not data. You pay in service subscriptions and upsold hardware (especially since some features work less well or not at all unless your OSes are upgraded across the board).

Same. Mojave on one, Catalina on the other. Of course, because these are unsupported Macs, upgrading involves OpenCore and researching what potential quirks will arise with new OS versions. I’m perfectly happy with Mojave, so why upgrade if

Products usurping partnerships, you mean? Less about trust, and more about just taking more of the profit. It’s a classic move to wedge yourself into the market at one level and then move up and down as you become a chokepoint. Cloudflare i

Building is a solved problem. The hard part is the political will to do it. The point of this game is not to show a detailed budget, but the magnitude of money needed to make it happen, if only the will was there.

Maybe there’s a reason we don’t see skyscrapers out in the suburbs? The whole deal here is that this project happens only because 1) the Squamish got some of their land back, and it's in an urban area with all the infrastructure one co
