LG Ultrafines sold at Apple Stores are clearly co-designed or at least advised on by Apple. From packaging and unboxing to the mold lines of injection molded plastic parts, quality of die casts and stamped panels, clean uncluttered outer de

Interesting that what you describe as special is what I consider normal working environment for myself: quiet, empty and just me humming along. And I don’t get that except on weekends and holidays.

Working in a lot of fields and not sticking to one is in itself valuable. You should capitalize on your need for novelty and perhaps work at a higher level, a generalist who can connect the dots across many areas and lead others.

Glad to brag that I am as productive on my 12” Thinkpad screen as I was on multi 27” monitors. I’ve 3D printed a foldable stand for my laptop to keep it at optimal height (got bad back) and distance from my eyes.

Sharing the opposite experience: 1 out of 5-10 orders I've placed over the years have arrived with missing/different items. Every time, I got refund either for that item or the entire order instantly , effectively resulting in fr

Yes, I’ll happily jump to Tesla’s defense (not that they need it) when baseless crap is thrown around, because for every 1 of me, there are 100 who can’t wait to see Tesla crash and burn.

Flagged this. Some random video with no official investigation and countless speculations. Keep in mind that Tesla will sue your ass for defamation if you post BS video and lie about it. Just ask the Chinese dude who posted about Tesla acce

I salute all companies/services that have made managing music a thing of the past (Apple is up there as the catalyst back in early 2000s). For next to nothing, I can listen to any song ever recorded without having to worry about where

I follow SpaceX developments quite closely and this animation is fairly on the target as far as the current understanding of the entire stack goes. Keep in mind that SpaceX is building Starship in the open and the entire test and assembly s

I want LPL to tell me once what to buy, not keep telling me what not to buy 1400 times. It's educational, I understand, but man, can you put up one video where you tell us what you use on your own front door?

Repeater attacks can be mitigated by putting a time limit for a response from the device used as the key (e.g. phone). That's how a lot of contactless payment terminals ensure the physical credit card is in proximity of the reader and

Since we're doing the anecdote thing here: I've had a Model 3 for 2 years now. Best effing car ever (I owned 3 prior to it). Haven't had a single issue that wasn't my fault. Service is super convenient, informative and f

Best part of this is that because Apple did it, it'll most likely become a trend and other companies will follow suit.

Billions is peanuts. I think SpaceX to date has received less than 10 billion (say 20 to be safe) in total for everything! That's 20 years of research, development, coming up with never done before re-usable rockets, etc. People spen

Don't forget that assuming a crew onboard Dragon, the launch escape system (LES) is engaged before propellant loading, so even if the tanks blow up, the capsule will escape the explosion and crew will be safe.

Very happy for Rivian - I hope they stay afloat and give Tesla some worthy competition which will benefit consumers in the end.

Looks like a very good fit for a ML model to filter out dislikes that are part of an attack based on frequency, age of the video, etc.

And to add to that: you should use as many different symmetric keys as possible as long as asymmetric decryption of the key doesn't overly degrade performance.

Yeh, um, no thanks. I've had to deal with too many race conditions, random data loss and week-long-debugging of locks to brush off the "fundamentals" as nice-to-have. It doesn't matter if you're a frontender or writ

> How do you know what answer the people who voted for the question wanted to hear? Interesting point. My intuition tells me that most people who are looking to get paid are the ones asking the question.
