In my hazy recollection, there was another, rather pedestrian reason Apple didn't go for BeOS: it had almost no infrastructure for printing. The Mac's niche was prepress and desktop publishing (remember that phrase?), and BeOS cou

(Mild conflict of interest: I'm originally from Central Illinois, Rivian took over the old Mitsubishi plant where my dad worked, so I'm keen to see manufacturing stay around there.) I think the future earnings potential is the &qu

Oh, I love that comparison. I moved to Toronto from Chicago, and my family and friends are bewildered that I haven't had to buy some sort of exotic encounter suit to survive the tundra.

Does anyone have access to the paper, and not just the abstract? I'm curious to see what the measured testosterone levels in the subjects' blood ended up being. Did they push their testosterone levels to the high end of "natu

What? Every anabolic/androgenic steroid has some degree of androgenic effects. Researchers and pharma tried for decades to create a steroid that has no androgenic effects, to no avail. Even a 5mg dose of Anavar, one of the softest st

My dad started way back in 1989, and had the fortune to take an early retirement package. Now he spends his days doing adult enrichment at Bradley University. Living the sweet mid-century union dream.

Warning: petty partisanship ahead. Our last Republican governor in Illinois spent some quality time trashing this company, which sure looks shortsighted in retrospect: https://www.adaptbn.com/home/2018/5/16&#x

You are not a dummy. Over the past 30 years, index funds have outperformed active management, especially when you consider the fees. You are a ”dummy” in the sense you don’t have perfect information awareness on every possibly tailwind or h

I mean, honestly, if I'm using Grindr, it's what I want. I am a bad cisgender gay male who sometimes doesn't need to see full-screen ads about genderqueer art while cruising at 2am.

Bingo. Grindr was a terrible app. Inconsistent push notifications, lots of lost chats, and it took forever to support new phones. (I was using it back during the iPhone 5 era, and it was apparently a 6-month technical slog to update a simp

Not that I'd ever admit to using Grindr…but I've used Grindr and Scruff, for exactly what you'd think. The article goes on and on about creating a kind queer space and the new owners not understanding the community. Except, h

Same, here in Toronto. My favourite Asian fruit market only takes cash, and a lot of the corner stores have a minimum purchase for cards. But any business with any sort of margin (as in, I’m not buying grapes for 99¢/pound) takes conta

We arguably have that in the Prius Prime, or had that in the recently discontinued Chevy Volt. I think the marketing and design is tough. So far, there really isn’t an electric car market in North America. There is a Tesla market—they sel

Do we have examples of that on the local level ? It’s working OK on the national level. NYTimes, Washington Post, WSJ, the obvious examples. They are either operating at scale, writing about national issues that a huge cross-section of the
