I am willing to be wrong on this, as I’m not a physicist and I’m going from memory. But I thought that nothing could travel faster than light because spacetime is interconnected. So as something travels “faster” it is…
This feels like a deliberate straw man. I never said it ruined my entire experience. Also, you go on to talk about mundane everyday interactions. I think if you flew to a different continent to do a multi-day hike meant…
Landing weight limits are less than takeoff limits because of the extreme stress it puts on the landing gear. This is why planes that have an issue right after takeoff often need to dump tens of thousands of gallons of…
You can order drinks at a bar and on an airplane, what's your point? Do you go out to eat specifically to talk to cashiers? If i want fine dining, being served is part of the experience. But if I want a good bowl of…
Sure, the idea of revenge is attractive to me as well. But I really don't want the legal system to operate at the level of my base emotional desires. If a crime is bad enough that there should be no second chance,…
A Greek?
The issue is that with a sample size of one (or three), then it is basically bad luck. If you get a bad unit (or a good unit) it doesn't really tell you much how reliable the other 100,000+ units are and how reliable…
But reality is never as perfect as the design. It seems to me that being able to "stand" in a rendering and look around is going to put you much closer to reality than looking at blueprints and a front elevation. So i…
I just got the X3 and i love it for all those reasons. I have a card holder wallet that it fits right onto so I have it everywhere. I am reading so much more instead of checking my phone to fill random down time. I…
This just strikes me as the false dichotomy that there are two option; complete freedom of choice, and complete mind control that you are physically incapable of resisting. That as long as you are not physically…
I had the opposite happen, where I was talking to customer service and her tone was so even, and everything she was saying was so "generic optimal helpful sounding but professional" that i said to myself "oh, its an AI"…
I think you vastly underestimate how maintenance requirements impact how rapidly you can bring forces to the fight and how long you can keep them there. While that is exacerbated by long supply lines, it is an extremely…
Those are really two different things. One is the computer vision that could be “hard coded” and the other is the image library, that would be updated regularly. Look at facial recognition. You can download and run a…
You read on a phone and on a tablet, so the X4 probably isn't for you. I hate reading for long periods on LCD screens. I have to do it all day at work and I don't want to do it at home. I read on a kindle unless I…
Children?
Just about anything can be turned into a bomb. Take a coffee cup, a smart watch, and 5 lbs of C4, and it could easily be turned into a bomb, for example.

But you all already have Instagram. If someone wants everyone else to sacrifice to suit them, that sounds like a selfish person and a selfish friend.
"Successful" is the key. A winning lottery ticket is one of the quickest ways to get money, the hard part is the "winning". If you are smart, there are many career paths that are highly likely to be very profitable,…
That is an "its technically a jet" jet, not a jet that anyone would picture in their mind if you told them "I own a private jet".

This wasn't a disappearing messages case, this was a case where they had uninstalled Signal entirely, including all their messages. But Apple was storing the received message text from the notification in its local…
This isn’t really attorney client privilege and would much more likely fall under the work-product doctrine [1,2], where documents prepared for the purpose of future litigation are protected from discovery and could be…
The economics of petroleum would be totally different if you had to pay 5x more for crude to replace Straight of Hormuz blocked imports. Weird that it took way less than 20 years for that to hit.
> Instead I got pages after pages of word-manure about nothing at all for reasons I don't even understand. More writing means more space to shove ads in between every paragraph.
