I disagree, I don't usually hear hertz as a unit outside of display refresh rates. If they had said "The watch scans for crash events at 3000 hertz" it would sound strange and incorrect to me year. And an always-on display be

I agree, but lately (as in the past month) I've been finding myself using apple maps more and more than google. When on a complicated highway interchange, the 3d view that Apple Maps gives for which exit to take is a life-saver

I don't disagree with you, and I think that what you're saying is critical; but it feels more and more like we are shifting the goalposts. 5 years ago; recognizing a cat and describing a cat in an image would be incredible impress

A better way to interpret "constraint" in this is as the "limiting factor."

Like I have said, I am not going to invest time into figuring out a way to find previously active twitter accounts that were deleted in the past ~4 days to have definite proof. I don't care enough, and it seems like it would take a tim

The thing is that it's very hard to prove that someone left twitter if you only define leaving twitter as "accounts being deleted"... as their account is deleted. That makes it something hard to prove, and if that is the only

Yes, that is exactly what happened. It's clear and you can see by the likes of people such as Jameela Jamil leaving explicitly because of Elon buying it. If you are on twitter, and follow people on the left, a big topic right now is wh

Almost all my friends echo your sentiment that film is much harder to commit to than a TV show; and I can't disagree more. Watching a TV series means I'm committing to 8+ hours per season, across many days of my life. A film, even
