That's probably true. I admittedly am pretty bad with basic EM physics. Would love someone to explain this to me like I'm five.

In this device, power is not transmitted via electromagnetic radiation, but via oscillating magnetic fields. It's completely safe for humans and any electronics not connected to an antenna tuned to the resonant frequency. EDIT: Obvious

This is actually an argument in favor of USB-C, since it's likely that faster versions of the standard will overtake Thunderbolt in the future.

Too late, Apple already invented that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A10 The A10 is the new chip in the iPhone 7. It has two fast cores and two energy-efficient cores. EDIT: Sorry, "invented" was the wr

You can try the AirPods in the store. They sanitize them between before/after.

All competitive-game-playing AIs ask, "What will my opponent play in response to this move?" It's possible for an AI to evaluate a move based solely on the resulting board position, but it wouldn't be very good. Pretty m

I feel like it's less about coming up with good ideas/questions and more about having the "idealized user." A user with extremely good taste that can guide development. And put that user in charge of everything.

I think that's the exact opposite of what's written. "Within every district to which a federal collector would be allotted, there would not be less than thirty or forty...whose influence would lie on the side of the State.&qu

I'm not a physicist, so my understanding of this is shaky. Can you explain to me how the ESSW paper could possibly have been seen to "disprove" PWT if it doesn't make any different predictions? Isn't the assertion t

The crazy thing is I knew about all of these technologies separately, but never would have guessed that this was possible. I knew my laptop prefers Ethernet. I knew an Ethernet-connected device could serve DHCP. I knew DHCP could provide DN

Nope, those look much better. I guess just...don't use the widgets.

Ugh, no. The idea is to use standard HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) with noun routes, like: Create: POST /resources (or PUT /resources/42) Read: GET /resources/42 Update: PUT /resources

I think you misunderstood. He's talking about the feel of plugging in the controller. "The controller ports aren't as satisfyingly analog-feeling."

MP3, definitely; that's a great pick. But do you really think using a hard drive instead of flash memory was a huge innovative leap? They didn't invent the hard drive. Both forms of storage existed at the time, and anyone could ha

> I wish it had won out, it was superior in every way Uh, a 64MB SD card is a lot smaller than a 5GB hard drive. The iPod stored 93x more songs. If the SV-SD80 had been able to store 1000 songs instead of ~11 songs, then navigating them

In this case, what was the initial innovation that was at least as important as the iPod? Who made it?

These seem like straw-man criticisms. > Oh boy. If you get in your car, it will just assume it should start driving somewhere more or less immediately? What if you want to sit for a few minutes? You think they won't have a "Go&

You're mistaken. There is no portrait mode on the 6S(+). It's not different. It appeared on the 7 first.

It doesn't save them money in the long run. However, in the short run, it saves them a bunch of money, since they are simply promising to buy panels from Panasonic, and they don't have to pay up front for the machinery, labor, and

There are two different Gigafactories. Tesla is building the one in Nevada for batteries, and that's the one you hear about in the news the most often. SolarCity is building a different Gigafactory for solar panels in Buffalo, New Yor
