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…

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 b…

As others have said, this is covered in the "What's the most accurate translation?" section, with examples of Textual, Poetic, and Interpretive fidelity differences. The Emily Wils…

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…

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…

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…

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 b…

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 rec…

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 …

Children?

I used to be in a house that needed a dehumidifier. I bought one with a built-in pump to empty the water tank, which can be tapped into an AC drain line, sink drain, or directly ou…

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.

>It is not intelligent at all to confidently assert false things you know nothing about, and humans don’t do this outside of compulsive liars. "The Dunning-Kruger effect describes …

>Animals generally have no qualms at all about killing or even just mutilating other animals. Humans generally don't either. Individuals do, but as a species humans regularly kill …

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 h…

You are also increasing your risk of death or serious injury. New cars are far safer in a collision than cars made 15-20 years ago.

Moving a six-figure Audemars Piguet or Patek Philippe watch through an airport would be much easier than the equivalent in gold or cash, even at 50% value. A watch roll with four w…

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".

Or get approval for $5m, run operation for $2m and pocket the rest. Operation has provable, demonstratable effects, and the falsified payoffs are mixed in with the real ones. If pe…

I love that it never occurred to you that the "buyer" could just steal the item. Be safe out there.

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 …

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…
