The Mini didn't sell well...for an iPhone. I have a 13 mini and will use it until it dies...just like the SE before it.

This is aimed at the lower end of the market: the pre/postpaid MVNOs and deal hunters. And for kids. The new modem is interesting. How much power around the world is being wasted because Qualcomm's code sucks? Apparently gigawatts

There are coding styles that are mainstream, then there are coding styles that are not. I worked with a guy who insisted in writing his C code in expect style because it was fun. Probably not the greatest choice for long-term maintenance.

There are an infinite number of numbers between each number on the number line. That's always something fun to think about.

Are they remembering a memory or a memory of a memory? And in the end is there any difference? I took lots of pictures of my kids. Those pictures trigger memories, but it's unclear if they would have remembered those things without the

In the New York City area time is the measure of distance. I think that's the same in every large Metro area.

You can learn from anything. A "legacy" product is one that works, but is generally hard to maintain. "Why is it hard to maintain?" is a question every architecture person should be able to answer...especially after digg

People have been complaining about NAT for decades. It's time to STFU. It's a well-known problem with a bunch of well-known solutions. If you don't like NAT you could go IPv6. But really, why do you need to talk to your devic

Can someone set up an independent IRB that you can use that is more of a UL-style IRB?

As a note, the FDA circulars in particular (like the labeling one) aren't technically law, but because they're (1) put out by the FDA and (2) a good summary people treat them as law. The thought is that you can always point to the

This is what good lawyers do: dig in to the sausage factory. What's interesting is how agencies push the limits on what they can do. All agencies do this to one extent or another. And they obviously won't tell you if they're

Culture fit is a funny thing. I was set up for an interview and one of the things was a take-home tic tac toe. I asked "uh, what's the point when I can just ask ChatGPT to do this? Is there something else I could be doing?" A

There was an article a long time ago about cheeseburgers and how impossible the logistics of cheeseburgers were back in the day. A tomato in winter? Nope. Ground beef? A sesame seed bun? Cheese? Just think: there's a literal river of b

As a friend of mine at Meta said, "It's ridiculous. If you're good enough to build a team full of high performers then you've inadvertently screwed your team."

What's amusing is that according to the literature height can be inherited but intelligence can not be. More generally, any characteristic that can be used to denigrate (or promote) a group is not inheritable. It's the fiction tha

Zip codes, zctas, and tiger/line are good enough for what most people need. Maybe you can find an edge by using something more granular...but I'm not sure what edge you'd be looking to get with geodata. Maybe for real estate

SWAG: you should be right > 96%-98% of the time if you're good. That doesn't mean your code works the first time, just that it works eventually because you were right about the issue and how to deal with it. The other 2-4% is t

His cost is probably around $4k per device, which gives him $16k to play with. His gross profit is probably about $12k per. Shipping is probably about $4k/container. It used to be $2k for a 40-foot before the pandemic. He also has to f

It'll be interesting to see if the court has the authority to make this ruling. I assume the administration will push this to the Supremes. A pause is not a stop. What people are worried about is that their program is going to be cut a

One of the mechanisms of operation is to reduce your desire to eat. Taking a step back, obesity actually is an adaptation. When food is scarce, you want your body to extract and store every gram of nutrition it can get. And that would provi

Really, it's cost. With steel frames + glass, you have more floor space relative to the structure. And it costs less.

Been using a dexcom g7 for a few weeks as a test. Pulling the sensor off can be painful, and leaves behind adhesive residue when I do it. And there's also a bit of inflammation in the area since it sticks a small probe into you, which
