Apple Watch + AirPods is more than the price of a new Apple phone.

> but how could they justify putting those kind of resources behind a game like BFV?

Presumably to fulfill their end of their transactions? It’s not like the game is free; presumably you’re paying for something.

I was under the impression redux is basically a message bus plus some sugar. Is that wrong?

I’m curious if they tested the wavelengths that wood fires give off as well as moonlight—this would most closely match “natural” light exposure post twilight.

I would imagine complacency is far more economically valuable than intelligence.

By some metrics, sure.

Email addresses are case sensitive, at least you’re supposed to assume they are.

Sure, and then you end up with linux.

Sure, for the individual. Does the project track them internally? How are they followed up on? How is work assigned and prioritized?

> The clear payoff is: as far as we've seen, life only exists on one place in the universe, so it makes sense to spread it out.

Sure, if the short term concerns don’t do us in first. You’re talking about an extremely long tail concern in terms of likelihood of human destruction compared to the threats that will come with developing the technology we need for material independence from earth. If history is any guide, colonization does not lead to spontaneous harmony or collectivized thinking.

I think the idea is “why are we playing with technology we aren’t responsible enough to use yet when the benefits aren’t clear”. Take the story recently about SpaceX launching satellites that are so reflective they obscure the sky: for a company with supposedly with noble intent, they clearly have their own interests which they will advance above our own. In the BEST case, they admit their own blasé ignorance as to the collectivized effects of their actions, and it’s not like they make any secret about serving militaries.

If there is a model for “space” research in the public interest, the US and comparable nations have barely invested a tiny drop in the bucket of military investments. I have no faith we’re going to start any time soon.

It seems very counter intuitive that you’d ADD reliability with additional features and surface area for bugs.

How are they related at all?

Could the same hardware for satellite modems work with 5g?

I was comparing with mobile carriers which you could improve in a lot of ways. I can’t imagine satellite internet could compete speed, bandwidth, or latency wise with modern metro area infrastructure, even in the next few years, even with significant investment. For rural areas, and internationally, it’s a real possibility. But my point wasn’t rhetorical, I am actually wondering which parts they’re aiming to improve upon—allowing tethering would be an obvious way.

> Why should an organization support something they own when most people abandoned a platform and had years to archive and move elsewhere?

Organizations exist in a wider community and have multiple vested interests in its general health—the need for spending customers, need to attract talent, the need for stability and (in some cases like this one) culture to draw eyes. Negotiating these is much easier if they don’t act oblivious to the needs of their communities—and in this case, communities that they built. The massive value that they are no longer interested in maintaining because they can’t/won’t monetize any further (ok, fine) when compared to the tiny level of investment for letting the data continue to have value elsewhere is pathetically shortsighted, if not intentional.

Granted days at yahoo may indeed be so dire that this is the kind of quality you get out of a slowly liquidating company.

Right, but what’s the competitive edge? Why would you want a company famous for having a black hole for a ticket system running a service you depend on? Honest question, not trying to knock apple, it just seems like a strange move, I don’t see them substantially improving on the problems with existing carriers from a customer perspective.

Cash.

Who will buy this?

How was the nytimes not “fake” during the lead up to the iraq war?

Complain to your supervisor or run yourself.

What is the BankAmericard?

Edit: spelling

I grew up eating this (and odder combinations) in new england.

...which are definitely enforceable right? I’m trying to remember why we put up with them as a society.

The “canceled” nature of the word is overstated, especially since it was never primarily literal to begin with, and using “supremacy” in social situations has been verboten my entire life (born in early nineties).

Also as someone pretty deep into twitter outrage culture, I don’t see anyone mistaking “quantum supremacy” for dog whistling: this is just a PR department at work. Nature editors are far more to blame here than culture.

That said “supremacist” is pretty dead, which I am fine with.

You don’t pass conservative legislation like this to reduce fear of crime.

It reads fine for me on mobile.

It’s certainly clear they haven’t spent an oz of effort improving it outside of chrome, that’s for sure.

It’s a corpse, not a loved one. Pain can only justify so much obstruction, and a lot of people lost their fortunes. You’re gonna have to do so much more to demonstrate her pain is worth halting the investigation.

> If I understand correctly, warrants are issued for a place to search and/or items to be seized. I don't think the criteria is actually naming a specific individual.

The property typically has an owner. This is the individual to which I was referring, though this is obviously a metaphorical application like you need to do applying the constitution to modern day.

SB-50 is the market-rate bill, but is just one of many movements to increase density.
