Really depends on what you mean, doesn't it? I'm pretty sure all, or nearly all funding for every orbital+ rocket launched in the world came from governments before SpaceX. Yes, the work was often done by private companies. But al

It's been especially wise since Apple adopted the yearly clockwork ready-or-not release schedule. For iOS, the release schedule has always been yearly. There have been 11 releases in 11 years: https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

"Ask" is bad enough as a synonym for "request." I really hope we can avoid "ask" also becoming accepted as a synonym for "question."

See, I knew this was going to happen and then I was going to feel real bad. One question I do have for you: How did you get Stephen Wolfram, Seth Godin, etc. to come on your early pods?

I do feel a little bad about this comment--it's probably overly snarky. Maybe he won that 250 grand playing poker from a small nest egg that he earned at a minimum wage job. And he isn't claiming to be sharing the secret of succes

How to make $60k/mo from a podcast: When I was 19 there was a month when I played poorly and lost ~$250k. I quit shortly after that. It took me awhile to recover my psychological bearings. Step 1: Be super rich.

I disagree with your characterization of the quoted text. It says the “standard prescription” is to reduce calories, and that the new study may change that. A prescription is an instruction from your doctor. That text is saying that doctors

You did indeed miss it: Dr. Gardner said it is not that calories don’t matter. After all, both groups ultimately ended up consuming fewer calories on average by the end of the study, even though they weren’t conscious of it. The point is t

I don’t actually know Go, but can panic() be caught? If not, it’s not an exception.

1. GP is talking about type safety in general, not just exceptions. 2. Not “all general purpose programming languages” support exceptions. To name a few that don’t: C, Rust, Go.

It would have taken you 10 seconds to Google and find out that iOS also has an icon in the status bar that shows you whether you’re on Wi-Fi or cellular.

Your understanding of the term “peaceful protest” is flawed. Civil disobedience has always been one of the most effective tools of protesters. The best way to protest is to do something which cannot be ignored.

Not if that data is encrypted with a key that they don’t have. Which is what Apple does.

Oh, you just replied to the wrong comment.

I think you read the exact opposite of what GP wrote.

Regardless, they said the phone gets 2 hours better battery life. That's pretty remarkable.

Infrared light is all around you all the time. I'd assume the intensity levels here are extremely safe.

They said during the announcement that you have to be looking at the phone for it to unlock.

I think you’re understating the complexity of modern web applications. There are lots of web apps out there that cannot be aptly described as “pages,” or even as simply “UI”.

Gender, race, age, sexual orientation, etc. are “protected classes” that you can’t discriminate on. Being a Nazi is not a protected class. If you have a business, you can feel free to discriminate against Nazis. And you probably should.

My first thought is that "exa" has all three letters in the left hand. Not nearly as easy to type as "ls".

As is common, Apple uses the term “panic” to describe the OS itself failing. “Crash” is reserved for applications.

I realize that, historically, immigration has involved race. But I don't see any intrinsic reason that should be so.

Seems much closer in price to your parent's list than your list, though the reality is it's somewhere in the middle: 3 Series - $33,450 (-34,550) C Class - $39,500 (-28,500) 5 Series - $51,200 (-16,800) Model S -

The computational complexity is way better, though, so even if it takes a few seconds, it makes larger systems solvable that wouldn't be practical otherwise (though first you need a large enough quantum computer).

The sample size overall is ~1500, but how many of those actually committed violent crimes in each group? I'd bet it's extremely low, which calls into question the statistical power of this study.

Just to be sure—you're both doing a double tap, right? It has to be a double tap. Mine responds just fine unless I hit it weird, which has only happened a couple of times.

I don't think it's about "features." I think they're amazing because they do what they're supposed to, and they do it really, really well. I've owned many, many pairs of Bluetooth headphones, and these are

Gene-driving (forcibly replacing a gene in an individual and all of its descendants, forever) is how the world will end.
