If I land in Thailand, how fast is the Hallon service? What about Brazil, South Africa, Russia or Australia? Their are cheaper plans within the USA for domestic data usage, if that is all you want. That’s not the point of Fi though

I used to use T-Mobile, but the reason I switched to Fi was because outside of North America, the speed just isn’t there. Even when you pay for the upgraded “3G” speed, it has a low cap for max speed, something like .25 mbps. You can buy pa

The T-Mobile plan is limited to high speed in North America, and 2G elsewhere. Even when you pay to upgrade to 3G, it’s capped at something like 1/4 MBps. It’s borderline unusable internationally.

I'm surprised Apple has created a proper Fi competitor yet. It would fit so well into their premium brand of "your iPhone works the moment you step off the plane wherever your amazing life takes you". They wouldn't have

Perhaps with asymmetric key encryption? So someone can validate that a vote was theirs, but you can't pin a vote to a person without them doing so. It would require that everyone understood key management, which is probably untenable

This only sounds like it would work if each state had some kind of physical and cultural separation. We already see in Illinois how state level gun control is failing. It doesn’t matter how strict Illinois sets its gun laws, they still pour

In this case, the subscription service doesn't allow for local vaults. You need to be using the 1Password hosted cloud service to store your passwords. For most of us that is a nonstarter.

Couldn’t you say the same of any Apple product? Initial release is tightly controlled but highly polished, and then capabilities are opened and exposed as specific demand grows. I bet homepods will either have full Spotify and Android suppo

You don't need to have an MBA, and you don't need to join YC. Given that, most people who don't have an association with a prestige organization will fail. More than the "most" who will fail even with the associatio

As to your first question, YC will likely be entirely unaffected because the money is the least valuable aspect of joining the program. An ICO doesn’t bring the notoriety and community you get from YC. As to your second question, it far mor

I've been told so by some back professionals. I don't think it's that one form of sitting is better than another, everything else being equal. It's more about the neck alignment to the direction of your hips, which couch

It’s not optimizing for “comfort in looking up”. Also, cars are only a necessity when you can’t walk everywhere. San Francisco is already a city where the majority don’t own a car. Making it more dense won’t undo that.

Assuming you have equivalent quality cinemark theaters everywhere you have other theaters. There is one cinemark theatre in SF and it doesn’t show all major films. There are some 8 theaters in SF you can use with movie pass.
