Funny, nobody has yet suggested what these well grounded counterfactuals are. And I don't mean vague "freedom of speech on campus" discussions. I'd like to hear about some really well-grounded counterfactuals that are be

Except that the contrarian views frequently turn out to be lies, and I can't spend all my time debating lies. Please suggest a contrarian view that's worth discussing.

I'm disappointed that I had to scroll this far down to get to the real heart of the matter - Apple removing the headphone jack!

It's really interesting to see how far some people will go to absolve Tesla of anything bad. This car was a lemon and the owner got terrible service from Tesla. End of story.

Did you hear that lie on Fox or make it up yourself?

It's so crowded nobody goes there anymore. Typical WSJ FUD.

Why all the hate on Shopify, from this and your other comment? They seem to be doing a pretty good job. Also, what does the "other francophone software groups" comment mean? Is Shopify francophone and what would that mean?

I'm curious about the comment that Apple doesn't care about people that use their stuff. Isn't it possible that they do care deeply, and that they have carefully designed a laptop that is optimum for most users? Of course, th

Why would you say that? The Track bar has voice over, just like the trackpad.

On mobile trends: "The most exciting mobile trend is full Qwerty keyboards. I'm sorry, it really is. I'm not making this up." Lazaridis, May 2008. Almost Trump-like in his dogged grasp of fantasy.

Agreed - simple, accurate, and allows lots of private time to read the ballot document and make decisions. I'm not sure why more states don't adopt vote by mail.

I have solar at home and it's extremely reliable. For the last 11 years, it has generated electricity 100% of the time the sun was shining. Oh, maybe you meant something other than reliable?

Well, it's official - Apple has failed again! Doomed I tell you, doomed! Forget the performance enhancements, better battery life, fantastic new cameras, etc, etc - I have to use a new earbud cable. Plus, Jony Ive is going around putti

Actually, the current science shows that impacts are routinely understated. BTW, I'm not a warming "advocate" - this implies some sort of cheerleading. I simply follow the science.

Yes I have. But none of them would have wanted innocent animals tortured to prolong their lives.

I really wish they would quit torturing animals for this kind of garbage. If people are so desperate to live on, why not proceed directly to human experiments?

I highly recommend the Re:Joyce podcast by noted Irish author Frank Delaney. He deconstructs Ulysses in a very entertaining manner, 20 minutes at a time. Available at http://blog.frankdelaney.com/re-joyce/ Also, I reco

Interesting statement in the article: "Though modern science finds minute variations in the speed of light in a vacuum or empty space..." I thought that this was a largely discredited hypothesis - is there more recent research in

I don't understand the angst. Have an existing iPhone - keep it! Apple isn't going to send the earbud police to your house to confiscate it. Buying a new phone - buy an Android phone! Am I missing something here?
