Yes. One day a week my Logitech USB mouse is not recognized or powered by the MBP. Which day it will be is a crapshoot. If the Woodway treadmills at the Palo Alto Equinox had the same uptime as my Macbook Pro, I don't think certain App

Not to pile on, but my MBP (with "TouchBar" which will assuredly not exist in another year) is always in clamshell mode and connected to two external LG 4K displays. Whether, on which screen(s), or in what state the Mac wakes each

Maybe you should read some books about Cuba, the USSR, their leaders, and the twentieth century Communist movement.

You are right, but that isn't at all why I referenced 10A. I referenced it because, in the U.S., the residuary (or "police") power resides in the states. Large ISPs have tried to fight municipal broadband in the courts, but [

There are literally billboards on 101 in Palo Alto inviting people to leave California, and they will, if taxes, regulation, and zoning do not lighten.

DuckDuckGo is great. Also, the HBS case study prose style is annoying enough in itself. To have the style emulated by a non-native writer is fun. And weird.

Great stuff. We do similar work at Publir [1] on behalf of high-traffic news publishers, although we do this largely by maintaining our own exchange. We filter for bad actors on the intake side. [1] http://publir.com
