    I’ve seen quite a lot of people complaining about this on Twitter. Is there some negative to this I’m not aware of other than companies losing customers? I’ve come across more and …

    iTunesU predates things like Coursera. I’d say it took someone like Apple to convince major universities that making their lectures available was worthwhile or else people like Cou…

    …and this changes that (to an extent) by allowing iOS/Mac users to have FaceTime calls with people in different ecosystems.

    Apple bought Dark Sky. That’s why they now have next hour rain data I believe.

    Is anyone actually advocating everybody have a 4-hour work week? Of course not. Tim Ferriss doesn't even specifically advocate a work week of 4 hours. The point is to delegate to t…

    In England when you move GP records are sent to the new GP without any action from the patient (although in practice this doesn’t always work). If you move to another part of the U…

    Interesting. Given it was just a couple of months was there any element of getting adjusted to the new arrangements/developing better remote processes that could have contributed?
