This is a terrible generalization and greatly conflates the people and the government of China, which has been ignoring philosophers and politicians extolling such values for decades.

If the metric is to circumvent or bypass your government, Android is hardly an ideal option either. It very easily also would fall under the "never buy."

Just FYI, Lee Sedol wasn't the best player in the world at that time (nor is he now). AlphaGo went ahead and beat the actual #1, Ke Jie, 3-0.

I think that was true of older versions, but newer versions will also offload them, either via the user or via the "unused apps" feature.

NY has them and seems to be adding more (not fast enough in my opinion), sometimes in conjunction with chicanes. The crosswalks are also relatively massively wide (especially compared to Chicago which seem almost comically narrow).

It's just terrible UX. The images show if you hover over the camera icon (assuming something else isn't broken for you). E.g. the car example is a picture of the General Lee (or something similar with the Confederate flag on top o

Hmm kind of a strange piece that's borderline misleading. It starts off with interesting points that are generally fixed usability issues (there's only one keyboard, only one trackpad, etc), but the "bloatware" section s

Strange. My 2012 iMac and MBA are humming along just fine. And they're refurbs. My "bought as new" stuff has been just fine as well. I still have an iPhone 5s that, save for the old battery, works normally. I haven't enc

Sure, and you could say the same about tomatoes. But, generally speaking, people don't have reactions to tomatoes. The oddity/absurdity is spending extraneous resources/time arguing whether being allergic to MSG is actually a

That would be an incredibly expensive loophole just for a claim. Also, at least in the States, I believe you have to actually feed the energy into the local grid in order to qualify for REC, not just merely produce it.

Maybe it was just me, but I got the sense the target audience of his piece was individual or small teams. Hence, "even if you get one ($20,000+ later), you can’t afford to use it against any adversary big enough to matter." These

The only reason I own a 4 is because it was bought for me. Otherwise, the price point was high enough, and my old 2 was "good enough", that I just didn't see the point to upgrading that often. It's not going to compete w

The biggest difference is there are cheap alternatives to driving in your own car (foot, bus, subway, taxi depending on distance, etc). Public schools are akin to walking on foot, charter schools are the cars using public school land, which

When a car gets t-boned at an intersection, do you always assume it was stationary? Please point out what aspects of the damage has speedometer-like qualities that your eyes are seeing.

Didn't iOS 10 or whichever add cellular assist to WiFi? I know some people raged about it, but I find it useful for the scenario you just mentioned.

I think it was reported here that Samsung just stored a jpeg of your face on the local file system and did a simple compare. But sure, they get to claim being first. I suspect Apple is okay with that.

I don't know, but if I had to guess, it'd be war. It's ravaged "the mainland" fairly frequently over the last 5000 years.
