Those are all pretty standard features. Do you have an iPhone perhaps?
Are you referring to the Google Pixel “iPhone”, the Samsung Galaxy “iPhone”, or the HTC One “iPhone”? Those are all missing some-to-all of the “pretty standard” features you’ve listed, so it’s unclear which one you are trying to shade.
Cause the pictures show a big black "notch" that goes all the way across the screen.
You must've been looking at a different image than I was - the one I saw was definitely bezel-less. There was a mid-story link to another story about phones with notches, though.
In any case, I'm sure this one will be copying Apple's... price.
And if you insist on using HTML email, turn off remote content loading. I know Apple Mail can do this; I recall Thunderbird doing it; and I’m pretty sure most others can as well.
It doesn’t really interfere with much of anything. You are presented with a button which allows you to load the remote content, if you so choose - the mail client just doesn’t do it by default.
Seriously - there’s no good reason for an email which is important enough to encrypt to include html or other “rich formatting” anyway. Just turn it all off.
"But last year, drivers over 75 caused twice as many fatal accidents per 100,000 drivers as those under that age. Among drivers over 80 years old, the rate was three times as high as for drivers under that age."
Yes, that does make some sense. But are we talking about 200000 drivers, 2000, or 2? And "twice as many" is how many, exactly? Also, what percentage of people in that age bracket still drive?
Telling us the rate "per 100000 drivers" without context doesn't actually explain how large or small the problem is. It just tells us that any particular older driver is more likely to cause a crash than any particular younger driver.
Let me be clear - I do not agree with Trump’s short-sighted and backwards-thinking trade war. But isn’t the whole point of a trade war to put the hurt on the companies and consumers based in the other country, which increases the pressure on the other government to make concessions?
Trump is basically giving away his leverage - so instead of both countries being hurt by the trade war, now it’s Americans who’ll take the brunt of the pain. Good job, “master” deal maker.
Watch some of the “riders” sometime, specifically the routes they take and especially where they leave the bikes (and where they go after they get off).
I’m pretty sure these are mostly people being paid to be seen using the bikes.
And while those of us who live here generally are in the habit of saying “Washington state”, we also refer to ourselves as “Washingtonians”.
Also, Limebike operates in Seattle as well as DC. I wish they didn’t... their bikes tend to get left right in the middle of walkways - probably by the company’s paid employees who are trying to get the bikes noticed. The only riders I ever see around UW seem to be following rather scripted paths.
All the underground stretches of Seattle’s Link have been bored as well. I think when people say “new” here they mean “fairly recently has become mainstream”, not “this is the first time”.
On a side note, I’m curious to see what Musk’s throwaway “few months” comment actually translates into. It seems like someone else turned that into “this summer” by pulling it out of his nether regions. I realize that’s a very small tunnel, but it doesn’t look anywhere near finished - the boring is the easy part.
Try opening the page in Firefox, then click the little reader mode button in the address bar. Honestly, reader mode is the best feature in any web browser at the moment...
Safari has offered Reader Mode since 2010 - and, yeah, it’s a great feature.
I don't know about you, but if I get a call from an automated system I just hang up.
As do I. But I still feel as if there should be an easy and obvious way for me to make that determination.
At first thought, anyway, this "Duplex" thing rather annoys me. If the "person" on whose behalf the bot is calling doesn't feel it is worth their time to speak to me directly, why should I have to waste my time talking to their bot?
I also use calorie counts sometimes, e.g. if I am trying to figure out which kind of meat to put on my sandwiches
Stress is demonstrably bad for your health. I recommend you eliminate this particular stressful situation by simply putting every available kind of meat on your sandwiches.
I'd rather personally give my PIN to any law enforcement officer who cared to ask for it than have this feature implemented.
In the US and most other countries, we already have laws to compel you to give up your PIN if the police have a good reason (aka "probable cause") to believe you've been involved in - or are planning to be involved in - criminal activity.
If the police have a warrant, and you do not provide your PIN, you will go to jail until you become willing to provide them access. You're safely locked up, unable to harm others. They can keep you there until you die, unless you give them the access they've legally demanded.
That's why the whole idea that police and three-letter agencies need exceptional on-demand access to any device they choose is so ridiculous - they can already get at those phones OR lock up the phone owners permanently! Yeah, it doesn't work in the tiny edge case where the phone owner is dead... but in those cases the immediate harm has almost certainly already been done, and the police have a specific already-identified person from which they can begin any subsequent investigation, should they feel it necessary. To claim such a tiny and likely unimportant edge case somehow justifies the significant degradation of all people's personal liberty and financial security is simply absurd.

Sure, and the information flowing through these “free” access points isn’t going to be collected and monetized... right?
Give me a break. At least be honest about your motivation.

Unfortunately I can't manage a Finnish accent.

It was a pro-Euro activist angry about the Kroner.

I guess I’d better start calling it GNU/macOS.
(but only while using “gls” or “gcp” etc. rather than the native versions, I suppose)
I want to get back to the debate that REALLY matters:
How do you pronounce “Linux”?
I've heard of them, but I've never actually seen one in real life, since I live in Alberta, a province free of rats
Alberta is free of rats because they’re scared of the marmots.

I use Apple Pay wherever I can, because NFC payments rock; but I don't really see any advantage to carrying an Apple Pay branded piece of plastic.
But I have never heard of Klout.
Huh...Who?
9-3 E-S-C-O-R ... oh, wait, were you referring to Klout?
But I have never heard of Klout.
Turn me on, dead man.
I, personally, thought to the joke was funny enough, albeit off-color.
I don't care if they keep it in the documentation or not... but it seems like a rather pathetic attempt at humor.

The problem comes with the name. What do you call a nitrogen gas execution chamber? Obviously, a "gas chamber".
Then they should use Helium and call it a "laughs chamber".
