I know Israeli and Palestinian media are both biased so I don't expect to be able to change your mind in an internet comment. I've been working around the region for the past 10 years. Ran from Hizballah rockets, Israeli bombs,

In Boston I was standing beside the police as the let looting occur. There were only about 5 shops broken into and only 1 that I saw looted, but the police were standing 10 feet away from one and didn't do anything about it.

Security isn't mentioned once. I really wonder if in their meetings they sold the speed and lighter weight as a bonus for the user or for the collection of data on the user. This must reduce their overhead and be kinder on their serve

Let me add to the chorus of praise for Algo. As a journalist working around the Middle East it at least gets me out of the local censored internets and isn't blocked like all of the popular VPN services. It seems like the thing that s

As a Somerville resident thanks for the info! Does it just need to pass the FAA requirements or are there local police requirements?

Electricity is power, and Sisi knows this. His predecessor lost support during a few hot summer months of rolling power-cuts. It was rumored that those power cuts were the product of sabotage by electricity ministry managers. But since S

I'd really like to see the details of who these 200-300 contractors are. There is a major problem with Egyptian government contracts being awarded to the military or companies owned by generals. I hope it was as competitive and effici

A broad slanderous statement with no evidence...I think they do darn good work in hard situations. For me the NYTimes is often conservative in the people they quote, but they have a good fact-checking network. They fail sometimes, but that

I was hoping their "One more thing" would be tracking tags with precise positioning and an AR viewer to see exactly where something is placed in the world.

This is true, outside of the US and parts of Europe Google Maps is lacking, Apple Maps is barren, sometimes Maps.me has local people that keep it updated. There is a real gap waiting to be filled. Thi is my experience around the Middle Eas

The lifetime of most electronics is much longer than 2 years. The only thing I need to replace regularly is headphones.

Interesting article, but the comments are a special kind of ignorant.

I think the fall in the price of waste is because there is a glut in the raw material (recycled paper, plastic pellets etc.) that come from the garbage. So it looses it's value because the materials it produces has lost value. Governm

I'd second this, Apple Maps is still useless in Egypt and most of Africa. There is plenty of room for these tech companies to plow some of their profits into data sets from outside San Francisco.

Yeah, many of the cyclists in London wear fancy clothes and ride fast bikes. It's an identity thing. There is an sad/interesting gender gap too because many of the cycle commuters are male. There should be a real push by compani

Normally I would agree with you. But right now in Sudan a non-violent revolution is occurring. The civilians are demanding a civilian government from Hemeti, the head of a militia that is responsible for war crimes in Darfur. Hemeti does

Yeah, They can demand to search your things if you want in. Including unlocking your phone, the alternative is to give them your phone while still locked, or not be let in. Yes, this happened to me and other journalists.

Yeah, there's a few places you can get out to the desert. The closest rural desert park is a place called Wadi al-Hitan (Vally of the whales because there are lots of fossils from when the desert was an ocean floor). There are many to

It's perfectly safe here. Come now before the crowds get much bigger. Around the tourist sites you will meet plenty of people trying to get you to ride a horse, or pay a tip for any little service. You can just ignore them, and ther

You are so true, and your voices like yours are rarely heard. iPhones are made for California, and their usefulness quickly dwindles as you leave that area. It can be seen in so many things that you mentioned. 1) Dual SIMs are the only way

I'll play devils advocate here. Their solution is too complex and tries to fix a non-problem. For someone learning Arabic the letters are the first of many challenging steps. I learned the Arabic letters in 1 day with flashcards. Tha
