I tried calling his daughter but for some reason she never picks up. On the plus side, I was able to use the watch to have his Tesla pick me up and give me a ride to work. 3 stars, would buy again.
It sounded cool at first, then it turned out to be 2 gen old rental beige boxes with a seriously crippled feature set.
I'd rather mine bitcoin with an abacus than f*ck around with Docker and Kubernetes.
Ah, China! Remember these are the people that once banned the letter "N"? Maybe they'll back off. Bitcoin is just a fun computer game you can play with your kids. It's a great way to learn about money.
Interesting argument. By that logic, we can also conclude that smoking does not cause lung cancer, because there are people who have chain smoked for decades but do not have lung cancer.
I will agree, however, that diabetes is triggered by a genetic disposition: evolving in a world of scarcity gave us a survival instinct to stuff ourselves full of anything edible, especially meats, fat, carbs, salt, and sugar. Of course, everyone on the planet shares this genetic disposition. There, I just saved you $199.
Quite the opposite, sir, quite the opposite. Tempting though it may be to find such a conclusion, the missing variable in the equation is not transsexual women. The report considers "male-identified" Level 4s as opposed to "women", a Saussurian billboard the size of the Salesforce building. Accordingly we may accept that the women are simply women, whereas the male-identified are, for the purposes of a pay scale comparison, unidentified.
The 911 began with the VW bug, air cooled engine mounted behind the rear axle. The unsuitability for these features in a performance car is demonstrated by the fact that no other sports car maker in history has ever chosen them. Likewise, the cassette tape began as a component of a dictation machine, with narrow tape and slow recording speed, features which have never been chosen for sound quality before or since. Hyundai is not a good analogy, they use typical engineering to produce typical products.
The compact disc has a theoretical max 95 dB dynamic range. In practice, 2 bits are for error correction. Mastering requires maximum level to be dropped several dB as playback cannot process all 1's. Also 10 to 15 dB of dither is added at the bottom to counter the extinction effect observed at low frequencies. Add it all up and you get a usable DR of about 60 - 65 dB, still impressive but certainly nothing beyond a metal formula cassette tape.
Cassette tapes are the Porsche 911 of audio: a bad idea developed far beyond what its inventors ever intended. Decent cassettes sound demonstrably better than 256k mp3s, and the best cassettes sound measurably better than compact disc (dynamic range, for instance). A first gen ipod cannot compete with a first gen walkman for sound quality.
Sure, if you use the cheapest tapes and the cheapest players, you will get the cheapest results. That's also true of digital players. The same trash cans that were once full of broken tape decks are now full of broken iphones.
Besides, wise man once say:
Better to hear one Elvis song on AM radio than sit front row at Maroon 5 concert.
Nothing is the most under-rated approach in so many cases. This is most certainly one where not bothering would yield the benefits of the same end result, and the savings of all the time and effort needed to carry out the project.
Come on, now! Bitcoin is a computer game at best. No one holding it has any intention of ever using it as a currency, it's been pure speculation for years now. I have all the sympathy for a Bitcoin hack victim as I do a kid whose Minecraft castle got attacked by his neighbors.
There is a big difference in the sound of a pre-recorded mass produced tape and a higher end chrome or metal tape recorded on a decent deck. Pre-recorded were almost always made with cheap normal bias ferric oxide tape which was designed for low-fi purposes like dictation. But, like the Porsche 911, engineers took a bad idea and developed it far beyond what it was ever supposed to do. The audiophile company Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, best known for half speed mastered high end vinyl, produced a line of cassettes recorded on Nakamichi studio decks from original master recordings. Several of these cassette releases were reported to sound better than their vinyl LP counterparts.
You have to consider the resources required to operate a hipster-compliant infrastructure. Everything has to be in the cloud, everything has to be chopped into microservices and run in Docker (if you don't understand why, this can never be explained to you... just like Minecraft). Evernote cannot simply yum install mysql and be done with it. Listen... our man-bun coiffed lumberjack dressed team arrives at work on electric scooters carrying artisanal farm-to-table kale scones wrapped in unbleached fair trade waxed bakery tissue. Does this sound like the type of group that would do anything practical? Of course not! Therefore we will expend sprint after sprint retrofitting MongoDB to approximate the feature set of Google Sheets. Once that's done maybe we'll boot up our pirated copy of Windows Vista and look at those old bugs.
Sure, but which one is more fun to shoot? Tune in next week when we line them up on a fence along with some beer cans, and launch them into the air for a skeet shoot shotgun test.

"healthy contributions" HAHAHAHA

They could not do a simple thing like get me a date, then they charged me for an extra month. No way am I gonna let them drive my car.
Explain ruby, systemd, Docker, and lumberjack beards.
Can't wait to see the next round of changing-the-world taxi and meal kit ripoffs. Can we throw in a couple blockchain startups too?
(What? Too soon?)

A thousand genetic markers doesn't mean f*ckall when excess BMI and physical inactivity are the known causes.
Finally, a Tesla product I really want to try.
And while you're pivoting, Mark, could you stop and pick up a meal kit service, and maybe an electric car company? KTHX!

It is impossible to draw any conclusions from these figures without knowing the XX/XY chromosome distribution among the male-identified cohort.

Well, it does pass spellcheck.
Damn. I think I'll file an IPO for my septic tank.

They are also considering a pivot into the burgeoning food delivery space, and possibly an initiative to market pet products online.
