As an MLS fan that bought the season pass as soon as it was announced, I can't agree more. Honestly Apple should be embarrassed, because the biggest problem with MLS Season Pass is the app and user experience. 1) On my TV, I'm con

There was a version of BeOS (iirc, it was the last version they released) that could be installed in a file on a Windows9x hard drive and booted to by using a boot floppy. It really was an impressive and innovative way to get people to try

I really don't understand the moral hazard here. The people making risk decisions - ie, the SBV staff - should absolutely be wiped out. If there's a legal way to claw back the proceeds from the stock sales they made in the run up

That's exactly the point: not guaranteeing deposits incentives everyone to move all their money beyond 250k into a big 4 bank as soon as they can on Monday morning. Great for JPM, but could be deadly for a huge section of the US bankin

All of those are true, but there's another important reason I think is worth adding: the only way go get truly better at something is to do it over and over again, and most technically adapt people have a long string of side projects,

I had one of these in the 90s, an F4U Corsair. It's weird to think that these are considered so unsafe you can't have one anymore, seeing as by that time people were well into complaining about how the nanny state and/or laws

I don't think the reset is around resetting the software logic exactly, but rather that things have gotten so far outside of what they should be they no longer know where planes are, where crews that can find those planes are, and how

Yeah, for a while I had an office rep as an "angry typer" - that's exactly how everyone framed it. I guess my typing style was/is audibly more aggressive than other people when I get focused on something.

I don't know if this is true, but I've heard the algorithm has changed over the years - in 2015 during peak Vlog, there wasn't much content on Youtube made by creators targeting (and putting professional-level effort into) th

It's only in OP interests if nobody else ever has access to this exploit. I wouldn't feel great knowing that a camera somewhere in my space had an issue like this, because it seems somewhat naïve to assume nobody else ever figur

My understanding is that this is the strategy: the network effect method for choosing what content you want (FB/Insta) is getting beat by the "algorithm determines what you are interested in" method for choosing what content

The much more wild thing is that Amazon Prime Video doesn't do this. The overall interface and concept is not far from the "X-Ray" view that Amazon already has... and, of course, they have a built in retailer you could order

They are making them take care of the plane, at least to the limits of their authority. It's not like they have much say about what a US-based airline does outside of their borders.

Current versions of the Ford infotainment platform are based on QNX, actually. The article mentions that Ford is switching to Android, but that hasn't happened yet.

Same here - we were finally able to log in to the console, but we're in us-east-2 and are having a ton of issues.

Peter Prodromou was one of those people working right under Newey during the 2010-2013 RBR run of success with Vettel, and he went to McLaren around 2014. His success there has been, well.. less than many would have hoped.

It was actually a Brabham: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brabham_BT46 I find the whole concept fascinating, just because it seems ridiculous in a way.

I'm not assuming Apple demanded it, I'm just wondering aloud why Apple conceded. This deal is 8x the 2022 MLS TV deal annually, and the current deal doesn't have anything like this. It seems insane to me to imagine MLS tellin

Funny you mention that - one of the odder parts of this press release is the fact that this service is going to be included with MLS team season ticket packages. I'd been try to figure out how and/or why it's in Apple's

I never had a 6100 (honestly never even had a Mac pre-OSX), but I'm getting a massive amount of nostalgia poisoning from just the website. For most of the 90s, probably into the 2000s for a bit, finding a "fan page" like this

There was a game around 2000 called Allegiance that reminds me of this idea somewhat - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegiance_(video_game) . It's been ~22 years since I've played it, but IIRC there was one p

It's extra funny in this case, because the main point of those opposing this bill seems to be "Won't someone think of the children? They'll have to walk to school in the dark!"

The current version of the Powerbeats Pro has separate buds for each ear, but I have the newest revision of the regular Powerbeats for this exact reason. They even have the H1 chip and all of the quick pairing/built-in Apple magic that
