Not an easily answerable question, and no one is giving you the real answer: look at the specific bands that your phone supports. there is no other way of knowing. a good amount of…

Ah, the old "give them a bunch of storage and then ask for more money to keep storing it" meme.

Is understanding views that range from "deconstruction of class" to "this is a Christian country" not enough? The void between the american right and the general western left is HU…

I find that hard to believe. The American right wing and the general western left wing are MILES apart. I think the fact that there are people who unironically think that center-ri…

I'd actually be really interested in knowing what percentage of people read opposing rhetoric. I easily spend far more time listening to and reading right-leaning rhetoric, despite…

Confirmation bias? This is the same exact trap that people fall into who are successful without formal education. "All people should be expected to have an above average level of a…

>isn't sexy But why not? The singular issue with electron is how fucking huge the simplest of apps have to be. I see desktop HTML/JS as a RUNTIME being a very near-future standard.…

What is the overall sentiment like for them? I recently interacted with a high school kid that was given a school-provided chromebook that had the most inane website filters follow…

>Windows13 will be based 100% based on Great Linux I want to believe. I'd go fucking apeshit if Windows dropped the NT kernel for Linux or BSD.

Prostate cancer isn't as big of an issue fatality-wise. Right now breast cancer has a disproportionate amount of money spent on it, but I don't think comparing it to prostate cance…

This is pretty cool. Multiplayer terminal sessions.

Yes, but what is "bad luck"? For most people "luck" really means "how wide have I spread my net" -- how many people are willing to give me opportunities? When we say "luck surface …

I love this. I've always followed this guideline without thinking about how to communicate it. I'm fairly sure that single quotes are much more common in the UK in literature, thou…

Kind of scary that Google is so much of a gatekeeper to the entire internet that they can essentially decide which websites get visited and coerce them into submission.

Another commenter used the phrase "luck surface area", which I think plays well into the concept that everything is hinged on an element of luck, where harder workers and people wi…

>This is why disrupters are so successful - they can do something crazy and people will try it out and think - this is amazing. Because the mindset/psychology is that this is somet…

This reminds me of Matthias Wandel. He's really one of the most impressive woodworkers I've ever seen. It's so clear to me that he still thinks like a software engineer.

Yeah, explorer here too. This kind of reminds me of enneagram in the sense that it seeks to uncover intrinsic motivations and drives. I'm 7w6.

The build quality still usually is a narrow miss. Namely, non-apple manufacturers LOVE to cut corners by using plastic on the bottom or more fragmented case design. Touchpads are a…

Claiming that our understanding of science 500 years ago is at all equitable to the way science works in 2016 is even more naive.

The laws of physics aren't interchangeable with our understanding of them

> aside from the internet becoming largely one-way and unmodifiable by the masses If anything, it's as easy as ever to share knowledge. Just because the barrier to entry is now cre…

I think theres a pretty obvious difference between da Vinci-esque broad-reaching intrigue and just having a certain set of hobbies.

They are a US company, after all, who generally aims to release their innovative products and services in the US first, and the US has comparatively predictable and routine driving…
