I usually watch shows in a similar way, which is also why I try to wait until all of the first season is available on-demand before starting a show. I'm also fairly cautious with shows and waiting until the full season has run allows a

You're right about these. I think the distinction I should have made was about how much effort they put into the different products. I think the three you mention have not have a ton of Apple's resources put into them like their o

I agree, though I suspect the Apple car would rely on voice commands more so than touch. I haven't used CarPlay at all, but I thought I remember seeing that it was mostly controlled with Siri.

It's interesting to see new entries into such an established and manufacturing-heavy industry. Tesla had a fairly slow and methodical strategy, that they're still executing on before they can really hit a mass audience (I'd s

25/26. I was trained as a drummer and taught myself guitar and some piano. I think the only one I missed was #13, which only sounded like it had one off-note, still sounded in key and might have been a nice harmony off the melody.

If a whiteboard can be accurately captured digitally, I'd say that it's better. However, I'm not sure a basic whiteboard is any better than a chalkboard. I also found it amusing at how often the whiteboard pens in a classroom

So is this an effect of byers not having to use the product, or the fact that the checklist is huge and the software has to fit a ton of distinct use-cases that ultimately makes the software bad. I've never worked on enterprise softwar

I find it hard to believe that they didn't know better. They were using 12 rounds of bcrypt to store the passwords, afterall. Assuming just the DB is compromised, they would likely be okay because of that. I'm not sure how often s

Would that might it wrong, though? There have been 3rd party pens and they were terrible and unnecessary. The multiple inputs, sensors, etc. will probably make this Apple stylus pretty useful. In this case, maybe Apple is the first to get

Is there any indication or evidence that this will be successful at a massive scale? Quite frankly, at those prices, I'm not sure either has an appeal greater than my own car, sitting in my garage, available whenever I want. I'm e

Demand for cars is still huge during rush hours. Lots of cars sit idle during low demand times, but that capacity is still needed to meet high demand times. The problem isn't getting people into the same car. The bigger problem is gett

What I don't get is how quickly the debate started and then dissolved with a potential hard fork as the outcome. What was the urgency to make a change? Yes, Bitcoin couldn't scale as it was, but there wasn't even close to eno

You are substantially more accomplished than I am, but I do have one observation to add to this. I think there are four elements to making a drummer: 1) Being able to keep time 2) Limb independence 3) Speed 4) Taste For me, #2 was clearly t

This isn't entirely true. An MBA from a lesser program still holds some value. If your goal is to get into a company like McKinsey, you're going to have to work a lot harder at selling yourself than you would at a top-tier program

I've talked to a lot of bloggers in two specific niches and they almost all say the same thing. They started their site for fun / something to do / be helpful and soon enough started getting traffic and started making money.
