My sweet summer child, the relationship between Apple and Netflix/Google is entirely determined by their respective platform Bizdev teams + executive relationships. Product happens after the business terms are hashed out.
Ever since I switched to powdered detergent and started throwing a pinch of powder in the bottom of the tub in addition to filling up the main dispenser halfway, I have not had a single dish come out with a piece of food on it.
I also recommend disabling any “auto” features of dishwasher has.
The only caveat to this video: don’t fill up the detergent dispenser all the way with powder, go about halfway. He corrects this mistake in his follow-up video, which I also recommend.
That said, it's true the MCAS was intended to address some comments from test pilots during development.
MCAS was not intended to be an anti-stall system.
The only purpose of MCAS was to have the 737 MAX exactly mimick the 737 NG's (previous gen) pitch dynamics so that airlines wouldn't have to retrain their pilots on the 737 MAX.
Commercial pilots are generally pretty good at not stalling planes and understanding flight dynamics, they don't need MCAS to avoid stalling even when the plane pitches up during thrust.
Here’s a white paper of his specifically about direct PWM amplification.

It’s one of the worst most user hostile updates I’ve seen from any app or website in my 20 years on the web. It’s completely broken, frankly.
If you open a saved article and then switch apps, Pocket kicks you back to the Home Screen. Tapping the “view all” button—which should take you to your saved article list—brings you back to the article you were viewing. Awful awful awful.
Apple released "retina" scaling in 2012. It's been more than 10 years.
What they're actually optimizing for is looking impressive/high-tech to help sell cars and reducing build costs.

It was a terrifying experience, but it was also a valuable one as it changed the way I view intelligence.
10 days in my writing and speech skills had devolved to that of a primary school aged child. I tried to type a text message and struggled to come up with simple words like “and”. My speech slowed down considerably.
The terrifying thing was that my internal world was still as complex and meaningful as it was before. All of the emotions I felt were real and legitimate. My cognition outside of lqnguage was intact, I could do math just fine and conceptualize and abstract problems.
In spite of this, I was unable to convey what I was feeling and thinking to the outside world. It felt like I was trapped inside my own body.
After recovering, my intuitive understanding of the link between language and intelligence was changed forever.

I believe this is due to the TB4 spec requiring support for two external displays on a single port. The base spec M series SoCs only support one external display.
I’d expect the ports to work identically to a TB4 port in all other aspects.
2. If you want to try stuff that's slightly more "pure" electronic music, the sub-genre that made it click for me is "Chicago House".
3. I'd also check out Orchard Lounge on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/lokkenic/live_at_club_love_nyc
My unsourced theory is that they’ve optimized getting their search costs down, at the expense of some edge cases that don’t show up in their KPIs.
I’m still a satisfied customer, the product makes me two Starbucks coffees a month happier than I would be still using Google for everything.
Terrible UX, but it works.
This is because NYC’s hotel labor unions successfully lobbied to enact a law requiring city council approval to build new hotels in the city. Effectively damning any new developments to endless hand wringing and grandstanding from NIMBYs and other interests.
Many new hotels in recent years were staffed with non-union labor, this was their way to secure leverage in perpetuity.
I’m sympathetic to the union’s position, but this law is going to damage the city’s economy and make NYC unaffordable for many wishing to visit.

The only way you’ll get > 1 GBPS on WiFi is on a device with 3x3 or 4x4 mimo WiFi.
2x2 is used because it’s less power intensive and takes up less physical space in the device.
Mutually assured economic destruction.
It would also cause every tech company in the western (and western aligned) world to leave China for good.
Roon is the only other music player that understands the difference between compositions and performances like Apple Music Classical does.
What’s cool about Roon is that it applies this approach to all Music, not just classical.
Roon also seamlessly merges any locally stored music you have with your libraries from Tidal, Qobuz, or KKBox, which allows you to manage all of your music from one place.
I switched to a 90% Windows environment at my new job. Gave Windows + AHK a shot to potentially reduce headaches when IT issues would pop up.
I couldn’t do it. AHK’s syntax is ridiculous, and whenever I would try to download and trial scripts I had to infer if it was v1 or v2. I switched back to the Mac with KM and am much happier for it.
Is there anything like KM for Windows??
Don't buy anything from WD.
I RMA'd a failed SSD to to them under their "advanced replacement program".
They put a hold for the value of a new SSD on your card and ship it to you before you ship them the dead drive.
When they received the dead drive, the claimed that they would be unable to service it under warranty because the sticker had been removed.
I quoted the FCC's Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act to them and outlined how it is illegal to void a warranty based solely on the removal of a sticker.
They stopped answering my emails/tickets. Charge went through on my CC for replacement drive + $25 advanced RMA fee + shipping.
I sent Apple Card CS team a transcript of my interactions with WD, they filled a chargeback for everything.
Sony Pictures recently released a movie covering Caro and his recently passed editor, Robert Gottlieb, relationship and process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gv3CRojrbeE
