They did not "expect over 20M by now". That article is some bad reporting. It pulls from a private forecast given very early on to investors in 2015 that depended on a lot of things going different than they actually did. For exam

I'm sad to see lightning go away. It has auto centering edges, unlike USB-C, which makes it much easier to plug it in by feel. USB-C could have adopted a connector like the lightning plug, but no they insisted on wanting small thin pie

I'm not sure characterizing it as "weak" would be accurate. Well functioning government bureaucracy acts in kind of a mechanical fashion with very strictly used language. It's more accurate to say that it contains neithe

That'd be fun to see but the transmit power probably isn’t strong enough to see things at any kind of range. It already maps out all the obstructions the dish sees and produces a map of them in the app though.

Can we not keep spreading obvious propaganda about “child porn”? It’s completely and very obviously illegal to post such things. If anyone was posting it anywhere, on or off Twitter, they’re going to prison. Twitter deletes any such materia

Yes of course I would feel bad. I care about the future of humanity. If we're going to cease to exist then what's the point of trying to achieve anything with your life?
