The cameras: once you take a 10x zoom on a trip, it's hard to imagine not having.

That's an interesting take. I jumped to a Pixel for the 10x periscope camera, presumably offered because they were willing to take less profit on it than Apple, who couldn't find a way to charge more for it within the suite of fea

It doesn't pay well enough now. 30 years ago a BSc could accept a slightly lesser salary for more wide social-cache and more excitement working on magazine features and still afford a nice home in a nice neighborhood. It was dollar-a-w

Do you have any guesses as to the contours of the rules followed? Maybe family v. friend v. work usage, or such? I've lived most my life in very multi-lingual cities and neighborhoods, and it always struck me how some English very expr

I can't get over how badly MacOS works with external monitors; I have a fiddly 5ish minute Mac boot cycle process somedays because there it just refuses to output anything.

You caught me skimming the article! The National Archives gives one pound in 1480 as the 33 days' wages for a skilled tradesman's labour, so I can see why they'd want to join a guild.

You're asking why they didn't round to the nearest £722.74, which apparently was more than a month's wages. See: https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/in... https://ww

And beyond prerogative, it's pretty clear at worst he's wandering his way down. "Driving down" would look more like what is going on at the other blue social media company.

To complete this idea, old nails are better at holding than modern nails in at least some applications and are required for some restoration work. I remember reading (but can't find) a church-restoration project report mentioning it, b

Notifications that disappear after a few seconds are a scourge that I've seen my surprisingly tech-literate mother struggle with too. I wonder if there is any work around accessibility and ui-notification duration or history.

This solves multiple goals: hide identity, show anon-source exists, and show facial emotions to viewers. The latter is a huge win for making media people want to watch. Same reason all those cable stations segment the screen into four with

There was no enthusiasm for this past Winter Olympics in the English-speaking West; the engagement numbers were pretty clear on that. The "problem" story is much cleaner in Qatar though: the migrant worker abuses are alleged in bu

The BBC has a viewpoint, and that viewpoint is very critical of its own government. If you want evidence but don't want to watch any of their news programmes, I highly recommend the series W1A, in which the BBC satirizes itself as a in

Just hill sprints will get you a better read than 220-age, but the reason, I believe, lab test build up heartrate gradually is that you don't want to test the abilities of your leg muscles to sprint and recover. Very well trained athle

The saboteurs left one line of Nordstream 2 in good working condition, able to export gas [1], which I believe could delivery around 50% of what Russia had been sending to Europe before the invasion [2]. Russia can still sell plenty of gas

I wasn't clear; the argument of the authors above is that American voters force American leaders to support democracies abroad. That is, absent voter pressure, American leaders would support dictators and autocrats at a rate as high as

An update provides no value except as a signal to users that the developer hasn't killed the project. I was wondering how annoyed or reassured users would be if they saw version x.x.x+1 with release notes noting no changes.

How do you think users would react to a monthly no-changes-required update?

If you look at work from Bueno de Mesquita, Smith and others, you might become convinced that Americans force their leaders to support democracy despite the cost to the interests of the people and the leaders. https://www.researc

In the linked press-release, they call equally for "intelligent speed adaptation systems", which I think would annoy a much wider proportion of the country than alcohol detection. I remember decades ago being amazed that Japan&#x2

It's interesting whether there will be a change to the norms. It's my faint memory that for music, when it was just some kids looping breaks on vinyl printed in the hundreds or low thousands, the sampling was fine or at least not

The inconsistent and often incoherent shadows and lighting effects are immediately annoying in all generated images if you've spent any time working with visual media.

I recently bought a roti on store credit when a major internet outage hit my city. The owner said he was out 1500-worth-of-sales for the day, recognized my friend as a regular, and wrote our names down in a book. We went back the next day t

I think the design is actually for us under 60, who got into the car listening to a podcast on earbuds, and want to continue listening as we drive off. What I can't get over is that I can be driving the car for 3 minutes before the pod

Maybe that was past-tense good: The first all black computer I got to use was the most beautiful, amazing machine I had ever seen. It looked fast! Unlike the plodding old beige Macintoshes I had been using. But that was a long, long time ag

There is nothing exotic or mysterious about empty recently-built houses. They are about 0.5% of my neighborhood and are built by all sorts of people, but always for the same reason: Housing is an asset class. In some places, its expected re
