Adding a small intersection traversal penalty/cost to the calculation should eliminate most instances of this.

I wonder if this predates any Apple MagSafe patents...

When I was last in a dealership parking lot, it was a hot day and they had three of the same model in black, silver and white, all baking out in summer sun. The roof of the white car was noticeably cooler to the touch than the silver or bla

Car designs are also increasingly limited by aerodynamics, manufacturability and regulations.

Yeah but on the other hand, try to find a plain carpet that is truly grey. It's pretty difficult! Everything is some shade of brown or grey-brown.

And that capability would be trivial for Belarus to side-step.

Sure, but for Apple to change its policies specifically in this case is for Apple to take sides in a political conflict/civil war. I don't think that's a viable outcome either. Apple doesn't have any good options here; I

Not an annoying nitpick at all. Different perspectives are enlightening. No, I haven’t been impressed by Apple Music curation. But I haven’t been impressed with Spotify recommendations either. I dare say that the best approach will require

Apple Music is mostly a holdover from the decade of the iPod and iTunes Music Store. They already had a strong market position and it would have been capitalist suicide to abandon it wholesale. I don't agree that it sucks compared to S

That’s true of all closed source software, not just walled gardens. Any time you don’t have the source, you’re trusting that the developer isn’t screwing you over. I’d rather trust Apple than the cumulative two dozen developers that have th

Most people in the western world already have access to far more calories than they need. Many already consume more than they should. For these people, bread would be a net detriment since it's mostly empty calories. The only health ar

If you need calories, you can always wash your broccoli down with a block of chocolate. Seriously though, there's plenty of calories in the coconut oil, half a lemon and a modest serving of protein. And it's not like you're g

Your "low sugar" bread is only low sugar until you eat it. Whole wheat is mostly polymers of glucose sugar and it's turned into sugar when your body digests it. Bread is a good source of calories but offers little in the way

I agree with all of that. Though I won't have a bad word said about broccoli. Lightly stir-fry your broccoli in coconut oil, pinch of salt and half a lemon and it's easy to get to 2,000 calories—and makes a satisfying meal alongsi

Pseudo-science, seriously? Tell me then, what about bread qualifies it as a health food? It's mostly glucose polysaccharides that are rapidly digested by your body into plain old glucose. Yes, there is also some amount of protein and f

It still boggles my mind that wheat is considered a health food. Even so called ‘whole wheat’ is mostly sugar in the form of starch polysaccharides combined with a bit of protein and unremarkable amounts of fibre. I'm not saying that s

Subway advertising explicitly or implicitly describes its food as being healthy, not an occasional treat. (Edit: receiving down-votes and I'm curious to know what's controversial about the above. Perhaps Subway is advertised diffe

What’s wrong with a country exempting plain bread from sales tax but not exempting baked sugary treats?

Or to put it another way, Apple provides systems administrator services with every phone. Most medium and large businesses pay a LOT of money for systems administration to ensure that their desktops and laptops work reliably.

And the second-most important feature was that it played music stored locally on device.

If Apple chose to match the existing industry standard percentage but has not fixed any prices, is that price-fixing?

And physical media is always a far worse deal for developers than 70% of digital sales. Developers might only get 20% of physical sales.

I think it’s a bad road to go down to have different legal precinct based on an opinion about how certain devices tend to be used and the subjective importance of them. Also, I can’t help but notice the circular logic—a game console isn’t g

So as soon as I use a PS4 to do something other than play video games, Sony should be forced to abandon their current business model? Seems like a shaky distinction to me. “General purpose computer” is an opinion, nothing more.

They’d change the default for fresh profiles but they wouldn’t dare overwrite existing installs. The former is a minor nuisance that would only cause minor grumbling but not affect market share. The latter would be actively hostile and caus

When you say access, do you mean intercept and decrypt? I’m fairly sure root certificates are only affect the browser’s trust of a server’s public key and is not involved in the security of encryption—for that you’d still need the server’s
