In the case when population remains constant, sure, but with a growing population, more housing is always required, thus the value should always increase, no?

I think that the idea of the USB-C port on the iPads is to connect external devices. These are more likely to have a USB-C <-> something (e.g. USB-C -> USB-[micro|C|A]) cable that people already have lying around, as opposed to lig

I have had similar issues in the past, but instead of having to have a port repaired, when I brought my iPhone to the Apple Store, they simply cleaned out the dust from the port with a SIM removal tool and sent me on my way.

The parent comment asked: >What's Apple reasoning for not abandoning Lightning for USB-C on their phones? I would think that "what connector is better" definitely plays an important part in Apple's reasoning.

The lightning connector is a more physically robust one than USB-C. The male lightning connector is a single flat piece; the female connector is a hole with the contacts on the top + bottom of the port. Compare to USB-C, which has an expose

I quite like the bicycle streets, for example in places where there isn't room for a proper segregated bike path, it still makes it clear that drivers are guests in the street (and explicitly calls this out on signs), which definitely

Broadly there's a few categories of bicycle paths/roads in NL: - bicycle path ( fietspad ) - bicycle + moped path ( bromfietspad ) (same as a bicycle path but a bit wider) - the road In terms of the vehicles, there's also a f

Whenever I order an Uber in NL, I seem to get a car that is a licensed taxi. Usually they have a taxi sign on top of the car, and always have blue license plates (which you can only get if you are a taxi). So, I think that the workaround mu

I don't think that's correct, most plumbing + municipal sewage in London was built in the mid 1800s, whereas hat-wearing persisted well into the mid 1900s.

Personally me and my team just evaluated the AWS ES and Elastic offerings, and the AWS offering (surprisingly!) came out on top, for our use case. Better performance, better IaC support, and marginally cheaper. Honestly I would have preferr

At least in the UK, it would be very abnormal to either let your 6 year old child cycle to school, or to let them walk unaccompanied. Let alone both. Only when children reach about 11 would it be normal to allow them to travel unaccompanied
