I don't get magsafe. I try to sit with my laptop in bed and my lap pushes out the connector. I move my laptop across the room, the connector comes out. It is very annoying. It is so much simpler to just have a well made cable with a durable connector. I abuse Thinkpad connectors all the time and have never lost one.
You don't see as much of that as you could because Americans don't want their government to interfere. If America were to start buying drugs on behalf of all Americans as Canada does, then prices would fall. But, fair competition and all that.
A city can't just grow with reckless abandon and no control or planning, that would never form a workable society. Therefore regulations are a necessity.
Fine, then modify your apartment so that no noise could theoretically get out of it and rent it out. Until you do that, you are NOT just doing what you want within your walls.
And then the next one? and the next? next? next? How many times should a person be calling the police, remember some places will get a steady flow of new scumbags.
What recourse does the condo association really have? Then it just costs the association aka the TENANTS more money and resources fighting every single instance.
The only thing they can do is call the cops... so say the cops are always successful at quieting the party the first time, it will just be someone different the next weekend. So now people are having every single weekend wrecked. Clearly, it is a situation that is much more difficult to manage.
The important thing to focus on is that home owners who do not want to participate in this are not affected by it. If you want to Air BnB your house with no one else for miles around then fine, but don't expect other people to live with it. Houses are closely spaced and it is a life impacting and property value affecting thing. If the end affect is that some greedy bastards get a bit more money I think that is a fair trade-off. It's not like the hotel industry isn't fairly competitive as it is and there are still choices.
Exactly. Why is the Air BnB host allowed to erode the property value of the neighbours for their own gain? Oh yeah, because 'business' and all that. Business sucks.
Regulation is ALWAYS a double edges sword. It's the same with the taxi drivers. The important thing to focus on is that our world is better if resist a race to the bottom.
The fact is, standards exist because when everything is the same people can use it more efficiently. Apple seems to be hell bent on being non-standard. Whether it is as cool as they think it is or not, having an ever shifting non-standard positioning of keys is going to force anyone working with the machine to stop and look down at the keyboard to use that key. There is no way that it can result in being more efficient for anyone.
I don't look at the keyboard when I type. Even when using the function keys, I prefer keyboards with groupings of four but even if there are no groups I slide my finger up from F1 to find F5. I do web and Android development on a linux machine, but I also have to do iOS development and sadly my company will buy me one of these and I will have to use it. I've never looked less forward to getting a new machine.
Well, you're talking to someone who has never really liked media keys on keyboards because if it's not standard I can't get used to it. I know F1 usually means help and F5 usually means refresh. I'm good with that, I don't actually need the key to say it. I'm smart, I can do those things.
Macs are for people who's heads explode if there is a grain of pepper in the salt. They are an assisted living device, really. For people who can deal with a healthy amount of disorder in their lives there is Linux and Windows.
Will the virtual power key still be able to power off the computer when held down if the OS is locked up? I cannot count the number of times iOS has locked up on me and I need a power off.
Right, because you have lots of evidence showing human drivers are safer?
The onus is on the company 'changing things' to prove that their change will not cause issues, not the other way around. Very few 'Jane Q. Drivers' would ever be able to pass a long haul truck license test. Having quick reflexes is a very small part of driving, in fact the whole point of driving is to anticipate what will happen. Unless in exceptional circumstances, if you need reflexes then you are doing something very wrong.
Samsung has made a lot of good phones and then one bad one.. It would be pretty ridiculous to think they couldn't go back to making good phones again, doesn't matter what it is called. I will buy the next Note simply because I need a phone with a stylus and no one else seems to be able to make one.
I can't see milliseconds making that big of a difference. Especially for a music streaming site where most of it is a long transfer. Oh well you get what you pay for it guess.
You need to put those numbers into perspective. This is out of billions of trips. A person has a 0.17 percent chance of getting into an accident in their lifetime. I'm not saying it isn't a problem, but I have to see the full path to the solution of that problem in this case.

Ah yes let's encourage a race to the bottom, nothing could go wrong with that philosophy!

Hotels give good employment to a lot of people. It can be a very hard job but a very interesting job. We need as many interesting jobs as we can get.

95% of all people follow rules. This is why that amount is being left out of the economy. They are too honest.

Apple wants to be minimalist so I have to make my life more complicated with peripherals and dongles? What kind of backward thinking is that?

The one I heard of was the Google car's fault.. it changed lanes into a bus because of a sand bag in the road.

These large sites couldn't host their own dns? Really?
