I do not use cases, and have dropped my naked iPhone 13 Pro Max many many times (with $29 screen replacements via AppleCare, I'm fine taking the risk). This phone has literally hit concrete and has yet to crack, a testament to the dura

If you have theft & lost insurance on your device, I would rather just let them seize the device and report it as stolen.

Yep. And that's why I permanently uninstalled Adobe software in favor of Photopea and similar alternatives.

I'm not following. Can't she just take on debt and eventually file bankruptcy and get it discharged? Bankruptcy only has temporary repercussions, and is objectively preferable to death, which is permanent. Medical debt is the lead

The concept of quantifying inflammation is definitely interesting - best of luck and excited to see how this plays out!

I have both in front of me at the moment, and the MacBook just blows the Windows laptop (which cost twice as much!) out of the water in terms of real-world performance & battery life. MacOS is far more efficient in terms of memory usage

Wow, that's fascinating! I just ended up down the rabbit hole reading Avery Wang's "An Industrial-Strength Audio Search Algorithm" (linked in this thread) - it's such a cool way of "fingerprinting" pieces

Glutamate is the primary excitatory neurotransmitter, and GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter. They’re supposed to keep each other in balance (to an extent), so increasing GABA should theoretically lower glutamate. Perhaps that

We’re witnessing a reversion to the mean. A lot of companies are facing a tough reality - especially those with poor cash flow.

Wow this is actually pretty impressive (I work in the digital health space and have navigated the absolute chaos associated with wearables integration before). I think there’s tremendous potential for Vital and am looking forward to playing

A colleague of mine has Starlink on his boat using one of the clever stabilization modifications out there. It works "good enough" that I don't see him upgrading to Maritime...

I'm going to be blunt here - there is a genuine shortage of good senior candidates right now. I would nix the take-home assignment, or drastically minimize the size, and ensure salaries align with, or are above the current market rate.

Same. Amazon has been relentless in recruiter spam, more so than any other company I've ever seen.

Another example is tetrachloroethylene (also known as PCE or PERC) - a commonly used solvent in dry cleaning. It’s absurdly toxic and can contaminate water, soil & air for decades following a “minor” spill. https://twitter.co

We knew that rates going up was inevitable, and that crypto is essentially a sponge for excess liquidity. We knew that inflation was inevitable (to an extent) given the Fed's actions over the last two years. Upon observation of the cur

In my case, I had to get a new DisplayPort cable (not all cables will support 120hz). Things were rocky at the start but I believe Apple also released an update to improve compatibility.

I can run my Samsung CRG9 (a 49” UW monitor) with one of my M1 machines (an original 13” Pro w/ M1) at 120hz with no issues, FWIW. I suspect it would probably have issues running 4K @120hz however.

Interesting, that’s the second report I’ve heard of mentioning this effect. Are these seasonal (pollen) allergies?

But the difference is, NYC is constantly building new housing inventory, with constant construction and developments going up left and right. Meanwhile most of San Francisco is just streets of old single-family homes.

> “ Starlink for RVs is not designed for use while in motion.” Theoretically though, it should continue to work while in motion right? Perhaps with a bit more latency than if the unit was stationary?

One of the early programming classes I took in grad school (taught at Harvard) was focused on OCaml. It was a wild jump but gave me a newfound respect for functional languages. Come to think of it though, I’m convinced the class was sponsor

To be frank, this "study" is absurd & invalid, and there is 100% an association between breed and behavior (we literally breed dogs for certain behavioral traits!). On that topic, I realize it's controversial but think pi

Ouch - that would certainly be a significant cost. Regardless, individuals should always have the option to buy a plan on the market. We really need to decouple health insurance from employment.

A nearly 50% cut of all metaverse transactions is a bit unnecessary, not to mention hypocritical considering Zuckerberg has been outspoken about Apple's App Store "tax". Facebook's primary goal is to have ownership of th

Dude $1150 per employee is literally nothing. That's less than $100/month, per employee, for health insurance. Individuals should still have an option to choose a plan on the open market if they desire, but they're highly unl

Yes. Even developer.apple.com won't load at all for me. Who wants to take bets on DNS as the culprit?

This article refers to "moderate" (100 lx) light exposure - this amounts to an overhead light on in the room for the entire duration of sleep. I would say an overhead light is a significant amount of light, but wonder how low the
