If one person thinks you're an asshole they might simply be wrong about you. If everyone in the world thinks you're an asshole then you, almost by definiton, are one. There's a rea…

What I find interesting on that page is that the more recent (past 2-3 decades) college preparatory tests (e.g. SAT) are not accepted as substitutes to IQ tests. Shows the trend of…

But isn't that running locally, using NeuralEngine of the processor? If they do not upload that info to their servers then I'm okay with it.

Maybe they mean "mRNA vaccines"? COVID vaccine is the first of this kind, so some side effects, especially long term ones, are still unknown. It's still unlikely that they would be…

I think it is a clickbait - you see new title on their main page and click only to realize that you've read that before.
