Apple employees don't put cases on their phones because they can easily get a new phone if their phone breaks.

Certainly the naming of the language as "Serbo-Croatian" or "Croato-Serbian" happened in the Socialist period, but the Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin, etc. etc. languages …

Nikon FM2. I like that it's fully mechanical and built to a higher standard (and with higher quality materials) than cameras today. I enjoy film photography because it imposes a co…

A high power workload on a phone might require ~5-10W over 100ms, i.e. ~0.5 joules. At 4V capacitor voltage, you would need ~30mF capacitor. Not likely to fit in a phone. This assu…

They say the goal is to help as many people as possible, and that this principle has guided their development and pricing of the drug. How do they reconcile this principle with the…

Like someone in this thread said: "Medical care really is one of those things that no person should have to beg or borrow for, in a civil society." There's nothing I can do for you…

> If someone wants an idea for an app or website - a way to lookup local ERs by price would be great. > lookup local ERs by price Incredible. It's absurd that an idea like this is …

I agree with your sentiment, the car industry in its current state is getting pretty ugly. I choose to avoid these trends entirely, and I'm happy to keep driving my 2.4L naturally …

I agree with the author. Often I find it refreshing to step away from the absurdity of software development and go work on my car. Working on your car exposes you to the fruits of …

Ironically this describes most of Silicon Valley.

I find this hard to believe. I recently worked at a firm that is making top-of-the-line cell phones in the United States. Even if you took the LRIP BOM cost, quadrupled the cost of…

The UI being 1999 is a positive. The website has nothing it doesn't need. There's a Dieter Rams quote on this topic. As an example, switching between folders in the source tree fee…

Typical of SV to focus solely on the business viability of a firm to the detriment of everything else. I’d like to work somewhere knowing that I have a clean conscience. Why not ad…

The Ehang seems interesting, but ultimately it's limited by battery tech and the fundamental inefficiencies of the design which makes it more of a gimmick than anything else. There…

I agree, supporting Trump doesn't look like the only reason he got booted. Let's not forget that YC has a Trump-supporting "part time partner" on staff.

I'm currently applying for co-op jobs (internships) and while trawling the university job board I've seen many positions requiring big data this or machine learning that. What's no…

Which is an absolutely awful system, for a multitude of reasons. One of the biggest faults that looks like it might be replicated here (the article does not specify) is that once e…

Thankfully so, I've been eyeing a co-op with them.

Most of the students that do leave for the US would be more than willing to stay in Canada, even if they were not paid as much. It's a familiar culture, the cost of living is cheap…

As an engineering student at UWaterloo it's pretty depressing to watch most of the best upper year engineers finish their studies and then abandon Canada for SV. There's logic in i…

The Hot Zone is another great book about biological warfare. The first chapter detailing the life of Ebola's Patient 0 from the moment he contracted the disease to when he dies is …
