What problem is it aiming to solve (that the file name doesn't already solve)?

Just like a psychological diagnosis is often based on proximity to a cluster of symptoms rather than specific ones that must be met, you can't point to one particular line that mak…

Am I missing something or does the article fail to explain the point of Arrow’s Theorem? Is it satisfied for the discrete case, provably impossible, or what? > While this applies t…

Dumb question, but why don’t they just use a single more highly-curved mirror rather than a series of 3 bounces?

PDF sounds like a terrible format for reading on the kindle, why not MOBI or epub or whatever it uses?

I don’t think it is. What you describe is similar to any other industry disruption, and I don’t think those are unethical. I’d actually argue that preventing disruption is often (n…

Waiting for someone to explain to me why this is hyperbole and bluster.

Zsh has a better builtin solution. hash -d x=/path/to/x Then you can cd to there with just ~x And use it in commands like ls ~x/whatever/

With all due respect, I think you're wildly out of touch with how most people use "phones" these days. Actual calls probably represent about 5% of my phone use. The term "phone" is…

Yes. That’s a problem to sort out between the employees and the company, it has nothing do to with users or customers. As a user I’m not going to pretend I know any of the relevant…

I don’t think the sensor is the limiting factor for me. I am happy with the photo quality on the 15 pro. It’s the video compression. Or maybe the speed at which the sensor can offl…
