"Dark Matter", Blake Crouch - this is really not time travel but Many Worlds of quantum physics, played out in fictional drama. Didn't really care for it. Technical parts were so-so, but mostly, too many "bad guys" ( won't give a spoiler ) kills necessary plot climax.
"Timeline" Michael Crichton - One of my favorites. Enough tech to properly suspend disbelief, coupled with good midieval historical content and great plot line. Movie sucked but book is a must-read.
Numbers are numbers. Money paid to employees is done out of the money the university has to spend. They either have to take in more of it, or pay out less of it. Which do you propose they do? The rest of the equation is irrelevant. Pretend for a second that YOU have employees, and your costs are going up, but your workload is not shrinking... what do you do?
There are 10 chancellors on the UC Board of Reagents; average salary is about $400k. That's $4M to start with.
... Lightning isn't a standard, and no one else is using it. So Lightning is out.
So come up with something else that replaces the existing port, but is better, more convenient, easier to use, and able to provide even better audio quality. Then convince every manufacturer of audio equipment to use this new standard. *Then* get rid of the old port.
In the keynote, they showed a pair of JBL wired noise-cancelling headphones that used lightning. so, there are some third parties chipping in now. Not saying I love this decision, but you have to admit Apple's track record on these changes is decent enough to give it a chance.
-Can I turn of the software update nagging?
-Can I play all songs by Artist with one tap (like I used to?)
-Can I permanently shut off the confusing Time Travel for Watch (what is that anyway?)
I encourage users to make up passwords based on some useless obsolete memory occupying a permanent place in their brains. I tell them to start with the name of their childhood dog, that's easy, but then add onto that the entire phone number for their best friend growing up.... the one you'd dial 12 times a day? that's 10 digits you can always recall, occupying some space in your head that you otherwise don't have any use for. Tag that onto your dog's name and you have a memorized 18-digit password. Your head is full of this stuff. An old gym locker combination. An weird nickname you used to call someone. The punchline from a comedy bit you heard when you were 11. There's actually a lot of defunct, untraceable fodder permanently stuck in your head you can use to construct a decent password that you couldn't forget it you wanted to.
Do you really think anyone is going to remember that? Dude, most of us struggle with our kid's birthdays. And keep in mind all the credit card, online orders, banks accounts, work sites - i bet most people are near 100 passwords they need access to. The ones that really kill me tho are the personal questions: "what was your first car?"

a number of years ago, our kids' elementary introduced a novel grading system. We had to have a sit down with the principal to walk us through it. She told us how the new system would be 1-2-3-4-5 etc as opposed to traditional A-B-C-D - F. This would take time and cause obvious confusion with parents, but the administration felt it was for the benefit of the children so it was worth all the hassle. Swear to god.
We have the same in San Diego - a border check on 5 fwy 40 miles from the border. It's the only direct way to get to Orange County from SD & I drive through it every day. I am baffled as to why we cannot keep the border checks at the border. Over the years I have missed several meetings because the delay goes to maybe 30 minutes or so. For every illegal they catch and throw back, there must be 100's of hours productivity lost to local businesses because of workers stuck on the 5 freeway.
In a flat world where you have to compete with all countries, I just don't get why any politicians see this as beneficial use of resources (keep in mind US trillion dollar federal deficit.)
Getting distracted with Autopilot engaged is like removing your seatbelt because you have airbags..
Why call it autopilot? just call it cruise control, and don't let the driver out of the loop. I have lane change assist in my Porsche. If it does not detect input from the driver after some number of minutes, it will automatically disengage and beep out a warning. Point is, the system doesn't even pretend to be engaged if you're not.
umm no. It's because you pull up parallel to the car in front, back into the space with properly angled cut, the pull forward to even out. You're welcome.
1. Apple will do it anyway
2. You'll get an adaptor and move on, just like you did last last time
3. your mom isn't freaking out, neither should you
4. you can always stay with the last generation iPhone, which will be available for a few years
5. Admit it android people, you just luv to complain about Apple.
Most likely, the cops said "no laws were violated" because they are not going to be bothered at 3 am to do anything. For that matter, they would probably not be bothered at 3 pm either. At least that's how it is where i live.
New and data aggregator: is (and was) the only thing Yahoo did well.
I always liked their sports app and sports news. Seems like they never really figured out how to make money in the web 2.0 world like the other bigs managed to do. They sure spent money like crazy tho. Alibaba was a good investment for them, all the rest seemed to fizzle.
I'm over 50, grew up on vinyl records, so I like vinyl for the combination of nostalgia and having grown up with classic 70's era album masters. My vote for all-time best recording for vinyl is Supertramp's "Crime of the Century." But you had to look for quality recordings and pressings. We would seek out import version of our favorite bands, as they tended to come from higher quality masters and (sometimes) came in more interesting covers/jackets.
What do millennial and younger crowd love about vinyl? why do think it is regaining in popularity? Please post.
Look, genetic engineering is the most powerful force in the universe, yet you wield it like a toy you found in your mother's basement. You looked at what others had done and you took the next step. And now you slap it on a lunchpail and your selling it.
I'll tell you the problem with what you've done here, you did not earn this. What you call process, I call the rape of the natural world.
(Boom - totally from memory. Homage to late great Michael Crichton)

Oh and the hacking thing.
okay that was funny - mods are asleep at the wheel today.

Doesn't that make him an ungrateful pr*ck to call them out for dirty shenanigans?
also:
-Can I turn of the software update nagging?
-Can I play all songs by Artist with one tap (like I used to?)
-Can I permanently shut off the confusing Time Travel for Watch (what is that anyway?)
Otherwise, kudos.

always appreciative of Tap references; thank you.

That phrase came from "Starship Trooper" - the marines had suits that let them make huge leaps into the air.
... It looks like you may have cancer; your insurance company & employer have been notified. Have a nice day !!!
Maybe...
However, we are more than just our brains. AI will never have mind/body cohesion. This is why we should come out on top (in my theory anyway.)
