I love this mission. From a science point of view it’s probably good to send similar and well tested rovers to Mars. But to me it gets boring. I think NASA used to get a lot of fascination from doing the seemingly impossible like flying to

I have seen cases where the big guys gave things away for free or super cheap to get rid of the competition . Oracle and MS definitely do that.

In Germany almost nobody has AC. I would expect France to be the same.

It's much easier to develop a product if you don't need to make money for financing the development. Selling is also easier if you can afford marketing budgets and sales people. As long as they are losing money they are basically

There probably is but it’s really hard to compete with a company with deep pockets. That’s what I find pretty worrying about these unicorns. They kill a lot of potentially good smaller businesses just by being able to burn a lot of money.

"Kinda makes me think that a lot of Unicorn style world domination or nothing, result in some business orotundities being lost if those are the only two options." I think a lot of companies are doomed because of that attitude. Com

Let’s not make this a one or the other thing. Dirty rivers are at least as bad as global warming. We can’t focus on one environmental threat while forgetting all the others.

They already have the Air to be lightweight and thin. Makes sense. But there are plenty of people who need a portable high power laptop so it would make sense to have a Pro that has plenty of connectors, is powerful and doesn't need to

This is highly personal. Best would be to have an IDE that shows the concrete types if desired by the user. In VS you can hover over a variable but permanent display would be nice too

"Type inference is pushed by many tools and languages, but there is little evidence that it is beneficial. I argue that it may hinder comprehension and increase cognitive load." If you write C++ STL code or C# LINQ code or any oth

"Wonder what Europe is doing differently than us. Are we having more pedestrians on our streets and roads?" It's definitely about being used to it. In Munich there were pedestrians and bikers everywhere so you quickly learn t

"Meanwhile, in fairness, the Mac is actually a pretty great development platform. " Especially with the Macbook Pro they seem a little confused whether it should be a good dev machine or a super thin high end laptop.

Happened to me in Monza, Italy after the F1 race. A whole line of cars went down ever smaller roads until it was so narrow that only a bike or pedestrian could fit through. Getting 100+ cars to back up took a very, very long time.

"Swans are mean! " Agreed! When I was a kid we used to go swimming at a lake and there was a one-legged swan that terrorized the whole lake every summer. The other swans were bad too but this one was especially mean.

And very often both sides are equally wrong. And two times wrong doesn't make anything right.

"The only benefit I’ve ever found of a small phone is that it fits better in a pocket." That's why I have an SE.

I have very small hands and love my SE :-). For me it's not about one handed use but being able to put it into a pocket.

I usually forget that image anyway and I think that most people will have no clue what to do if the picture is right or wrong. I bet they will go ahead anyway.

There also seems to be a deep American belief that there are exactly two sides to an issue. And if you find one of them wrong then the other is right automatically.

Being extreme gives people a lot of energy so these activists put a lot of effort into lobbying for their view. It’s hard to get centrists fired up to fight for their beliefs with the same intensity.

That’s the problem. People are applying the template for being a sports fan to politics. In sports it’s OK to be a blind believer or believe nonsense but in politics this is very damaging . I have wished before that some people who are into

I watched a bunch of crows surrounding a swan. Whenever the swan went after one of them, another crow would pick the swan in the butt. Swan would turn around and another crow would pick at the swan from behind. This went on for a few minute

A lot of places have permissions you need to buy. If these are more expensive you get less people but I am not sure where the sweet spot is between less people and still making money.

I love these articles. They show how even the most innocent looking things can be really hard when you take a closer look. But I would also like to see solutions that don't require weeks of study and weird workarounds. How do you devel

Don’t do that. People in high enough quantities are a problem no matter where they are coming from.

They could do that. But that also costs money and it doesn’t solve overcrowding.

Our whole society is based on trying to make things easy and convenient. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that people have the same attitude towards traveling and nature. Iceland could fix this easily by making places less accessible but
