So you are sitting in interviews but you don't know if the candidate has a PhD before you go in? Sounds like that is your fault. Of course I know what qualifications they have. I don't know what "fault" you are talking

I guess Michael Faraday, Thomas Edison, Charles Darwin, Gregor Mendel, TH Huxley and James Prescott Joule weren't scientists then. And Richard Leakey isn't one either. As far as I understand, they were not data scientists in the

and if someone told me Apple had spent $1.5bn and 6 years on a top secret project I'd be hugely excited about what it might look like. Apple have a battle-proven history of being able to execute and deliver. Magic Leap doesn't.

it introduces an awful lot of negativity. So true - I used to start my day reading news. No more, and my days are happier for it. Most of it is shit you cannot influence anyway.

The question you need to answer is can you sustain this for the remainder of your lifespan. He doesn't have to, as he is now at his target weight. He only needs to maintain his current body weight, which isn't the same thing.

Reading the wiki article this whole things comes across as some vague handwaving ending with "and you are all under arrest, all your coins are belong to us". Has a bit of an air of "you won't do as we tell you? watch how

So the amazing UX comes down to a clever charging case, and comfy in-ear experience? Point 1 is a statement about your other headphones, not the airpods; Point 4 is ambiguous. That isn't really enough for me to say "lets ditch wir

If there is such overwhelming evidence that it's a foregone conclusion, then I wonder why they haven't charged and convicted the man already. Why do they need any cooperation at all? It isn't about childporn, or whatever th

Processwire.com is the new PHP Lego. ...because? That is a pretty strong statement, and some reasoning for that would be useful. As it is, your comment is spammy and out of place.
