    AppleCare+ annual is perpetual as long as you keep paying it (and Apple offers to switch to that when your 3-year lump sum expires if you choose that instead). I’m guessing it ends…

    This headline unfortunately offers more smoke than light. This article has nothing to do with the current tête-à-tête with the Pentagon. It is discussing one specific change to Ant…

    The president can only pardon crimes against the United States. Even if removed to federal court, state charges remain state charges and the judge & jury must follow state laws. On…

    No, because there is no information to report at present. This site contains a live map of the hourly position reporting from the OI vessel: https://www.mh370-caption.net/index.php…

    There are multiple statutory routes to activate the NG, and nearly every time Trump has done so, it has been through a “federalized” route. Even red-state governors have requested …

    It doesn't really solve the underlying issue. On long-duration flights, pilots have to rotate who is in the cockpit and who is in crew rest. They receive food and beverage service …

    The HTTPStatus enum example is a good one, but the backtick syntax is _rough_. I would only ever use the Type.case form in practice. The test stuff is basically a way to create BDD…
