Spending 2 months learning piano would have left you as a novice piano player nobody would want to listen to in performance except for your mom. I'd argue that your CoD skills would have made you worth watching after that much time.

This is true of all the tech whales, it's actually smart business in a climate where antitrust enforcement doesn't exist. Paying a few million dollars a year for a team of engineers to do nothing for a few years to eliminate a sta

Hasn't Apple effectively deprecated all of the scripting interfaces? They fired the guy that was in charge of this stuff years ago, and the last updates to the JSX documentation are for El Capitan. Apps that didn't previously have

The OP story is literally the municipal provider delivering 25x faster service over 12 years. The "never upgrade the technology" provider is usually going to be monopoly Comcast, because they know your other option is a can and st

Anywhere on the near side would be exposed to the Earth's extended atmosphere, so this oxidation would be everywhere. Out of all the Apollo landing sites, ironically Apollo 11 would be the only one in an area not heavily reddish in thi

Consumers are less stupid than VCs believe they are. Look what happened to Groupon. Once DoorDash starts charging $30 for the $24 pizza, people will just go back to ordering it from the pizzeria directly. And DASH is "worth" half

>I don’t think the sound is brilliant I returned mine after a week, the HomePod Mini produced superior sound even in an open area for less money. The Symfonisk was capable of being loud, but the highs were very muffled.

Not only that, but it costs money for the hospital to make the chargemaster available, deal with people asking about it, etc. If the fine is really just $900K, if I was a hospital CFO I'd pay that every year without a second thought, o
