    Is that really "widespread/mainstream" though? Podcasts listening is pretty huge; in the US "38% of those age 12+ in the U.S. are monthly podcast listeners" (ref: https://www.ediso…

    Is it possible that Podcasts are the last remaining widespread/mainstream use case of RSS?

    Frigidaire has one: https://www.appliancesconnection.com/frigidaire-professional... I almost bought this after much research but ended up doing a range instead. It's much easier to…

    I can't believe it took this much scrolling to find a reasonable take. I think personal preference is clouding people's judgement. Of course it will depend on your employer and how…

    Huh? Maybe you're not understanding that a Y towing a Y is netting you fewer total miles in the long run than just driving a single Y. There's no reason to do what you're proposing…

    The top 1% by what? Income? Here's another one: the top 0.001% make 0% of the income and pay 0% of the taxes.

    The intention was not to create tax shelters for the ultra-wealthy. Hence the income limits. Thiel used a loophole to grow his wealth using the Roth as the vehicle.

    This is for logged-out. I believe find-my-iphone is only for users logged into their iCloud accounts.

    Then why do it at all? What would possibly justify such a large investment of capital if Google didn't believe it to be a potentially nontrivial contributor of future revenue?

    Is it purely a talent discrepancy or do you think there is a difference in culture that contributes to their differences?

    I wonder how much faster the 13" MBP with M1 will be compared to the M1 MBA? Comparing the i7 MBA and the i7 13" MBP to the M1 MBA may give us some clues: https://browser.geekbench…

    Optimistically: I suspect the reason they didn't upgrade the 16" pro is because of the RAM story. In other words: no 16" w/ the M1 is an acknowledgment that configurations with 32g…

    This would make sense given the pricing, too. For example, the $1,249 air is very similar to the $1,299 pro. The MBA has a bigger SSD, but the MBP has a bigger battery, isn't throt…
