    > Psychiatry to fucking begin with is NOT a science

    i'm pretty sure that psychology is a science, and psychiatry is a field of medicine.

    it would be super sweet of you to steam your neighbor's power tools, and I bet they would look super clean afterwards, but why would you bother? maybe you're just a good neighbor?

    the fact is, Steve Jobs killed flash. People freaked out when the first iPhone didn't support flash, then freaked out further when SJ explained why. it's only been downhill since then.

  11. I'm thinking of investing in devices that connect via Apple's Homekit system. I read that a strength of these is that the protocol puts a good layer of security on all the communications. Any opinions / thoughts on this?

  12. see my other comment here. and please go easy on the ad hominems!

  13. yes, but there are freedom of speech and freedom of association ramifications. Obviously the laws and constitution are different in France. In US the Supreme Court has ruled over and over again that a heckler's veto isn't a valid excuse for the govt to shut down legitimate speech, including public protests. This is amendment #1, the most important one!

    There's actually something really interesting going on in sound right now. Apple opened up a standard for headphone audio through the lightning port instead of the headphone port, and there are rumors that they'll be eliminating the headphone port altogether. This would mean that all the DACs would need to be offboarded into the headphones themselves rather than using the onboard digital/analog converter built into the iphone. On the bad side, for cheap headphones it will drive the cost up. On the good side, for high-quality headphones, this is an opportunity to invest in better DACs than would otherwise be found on the processor die (or wherever it is). Could be a whole new era in high-quality sound from consumer electronics devices!

    I'm a huge fan of the social sciences to teach people critical thinking, how to argue and write persuasively. done right, it produces well-rounded individuals who can go on to be successful in a number of fields. A university degree is more than a trade school in which you go to school to be a plumber, or a chef, and then graduate and go do these things.

    i think it is surprising in that you don't expect a top-tier auto manufacturer to outright defraud national governments. these kind of tactics remind me of the mattress stores around the corner that perpetually have the "going out of business" sign posted in their window.

    we just like knowing that we can if we want to. Remember, the definition of a government is nothing more than an organization with the monopoly on force.

  23. They're already having trouble shrinking the camera components. My iPhone 6s has a bump. I'm not going to cry

  24. There's an existing 2.5m TRL standard. This would be a pain. Because you would often need an adapter, but it would be better than completely changing things imho?

    It's not the building time, it's the planning and debugging time. Also, researching and purchasing components one-by-one.
