The updates just seem to matter less on Android, at least these days, with the exception of security issues. On iOS it feels like updates "unlock" new functionality, whereas on Android they've seemed to add random fluff or ch

I'm not going to bother with the Android and iOS comparisons here, but if you're curious try a flagship Samsung phone (Galaxy Note or Galaxy S series are widely available). For the past few generations the displays have felt like

The relevant quote actually concerned the collective infrastructure in the US, including health insurance. The actual quality of care in the US is great, particarly for specialty cases... for the few that can comfortably pay for it. Relevan

I don't think that "severe discrimination" even compares to the regular subtle discrimination faced by most non-white Americans (and Europeans), and that's part of why it's still in place in the US. I'm glad fo

It has some relevance for Americans, and clearly wasn't made to fit every global community. I'm not defending it, but I would think domestic applicants are far more numerous and therefore the effects on them merit more considerati

What do you expect one state is supposed to do if another is bringing the numbers up due to their autonomous choices? It's just not useful to consider the US as a single entity in matters where states maintain control over most relevan

This is the case in many places outside of the US as well, as far as I can tell. The included extension cord (C5?) was grounded at least for my last MacBook years ago, but they provide a non-grounded connector probably because it's les

The US didn't "literally" nuke their islands out of existence. It did, however, render most all of it unsafe for inhabitation.

For you, maybe. I think a TrackPoint (ThinkPad) is far superior to a trackpad, MacBook or otherwise.

Yep, and very similar words seem to be in most other Indo-European languages as well.

It's a Norwegian product AFAIK, and the company officially sells it to EU/EEA/CH markets on their website.

I think they mean easy to fire in the sense of "easy to go through the process of firing and deallocating tasks/knowledge/etc.", not "easy to justify firing."

The Swiss Post currently has a stamp-by-SMS service for normal letters where upon sending an SMS to an automated system, you are charged the normal stamp price using the premium SMS system, and you receive a sequence (8-10 characters long I

I know the two countries are relatively closely related (with something approaching freedom of movement, etc.), but why is the Australian tertiary education marketing specifically a concern or source of exasperation for NZ?

At least the Americans paid for them in a deal, unlike the French that sezied masks destined for places like Switzerland, where I live.

Yes, that's what I said. That's why I disagree with the claim that it would be as easy to rent while I'm not claiming it would be completely unrentable.
950.
by vinay427 7y ago
That's not a counterexample. The claim was about enforcement of a law, not proposed legislation. It hasn't worked very well for other governments that have tried a similar approach, so I have little reason to believe people would

Most hotel rooms I've stayed in don't even have a kitchenette. I wouldn't choose to rent a hotel room for longer than a week if I couldn't feasibly cook food. I'm sure there are people that would compromise on this,

Not the OP but I have a reMarkable tablet. I think it's far superior for writing notes (not really drawing due to the lack of color) or reading academic papers or other PDFs (that don't benefit much from color). The pen-on-paper e

The easy answer: "most of the Americans that I've talked to" vs. "anything said by an American" I'll expand: In the country I live in, a country often touted as very highly developed, there are still a lot of

Thankfully, that isn't how the world actually works. People are able to understand that any country, including the US, is composed of people who work on different things with different views, and that there are things US entities still

No, but by blocking Iranian contributions, as you cited in your content. Blocking the repository isn't protecting maintainers, but this comment thread is about GitHub blocking contributions from Iran as well.

A passport generally doesn't even indicate where someone lives or has lived.

For most businesses forced to comply, that seems like a feature, not a bug.

All of these locations are still cooler northern climates. I agree that they're not exactly cold.

Yes. That doesn't make it a substitute for the real thing. I either use a full ceramic burr grinder and Aeropress setup with some recently-roasted single-origin beans OR instant coffee if I only have a few minutes before I have to leav
