People improve themselves for reasons beyond monetary gain, therefore money is not the sole motivating force.

Your belief that "there's always a tendency to avoid personal responsibility when things don't go well' is your personal opinion and says more about your personal view of the world. If this is true, why the increase in suicide, depression, anxiety. Why are American's the most stressed out population?

Ignoring the affects of American's economic system and the role it plays in our growing mental health issues is itself not mentally healthy. Blaming each of the millions of individuals for not thriving for personal failings in a system we control is sociopathic.

A false belief that we we have control over our destinies and ignoring the vast amount of luck is how we end up with increasing suicide rates. It also leads to poor outcomes because we can blame simply blame the poor performers rather than examine the systems. Why adjust the system when we can blame it on personal failure for free.

A myth that runs so deep especially in silicon valley that any article about it gets flagged to death rather than being discredited in the comments.

Knowing which giants shoulders to stand on is crucial.

Steering those giants towards a unified vision is rarer.

Recognizing someone that does it multiple times is the very definition of merit.

On the iOS side, Apple provides the infrastructure via CloudKit.

Is this where the daily Apple hate thread is occurring?

If this were true it should be trivial to point out specific laws that went into effect around the time of the drop off.

My armchair economist opinion is that we are still dealing with the effects of the 2008 housing crash.

I have plenty of time to compare products while I sit at home on my phone idly building up carts. Contrast that with standing in a busy aisle as others maneuver around me.

If I want to look up more information on an item, I can do so at my leisure on my own WiFi network.

Rather than creating a list that I need to then bring to the store, I can idly add items over multiple days.

I can price match my items against multiple stores, moving the items to which ever store has the best deal.

Then I just checkout and pick it up or select a one hour window for delivery.

No more impulse buys. No issues searching the store because they moved things around for the third time in the year.

I rarely shop in store anymore and I don't miss it at all.

The online options are incredible convenient and I'm perplex that more people on a tech forum don't do the same.

I don't see why our legislators need us to make excuses for them not doing what they were elected to do. Only half of the states allow ballot measures without the legislature's involvement. This is not a task we can accomplish without them.

And yet both of them have thriving markets. The market for adults being undressed will dwarf both.

I do not see any way a law will stop what is essentially math from being performed.

While everyone is worried about job losses and Skynet, these sort of side effects of accessible AI will be what fundamentally shift society.

If you're only taking photos to share them with random internet strangers then you're likely not taking photos for the correct reasons and I can understand the hesitation.

I would imagine it has a lot to do with how wealthy the family was. It's easier for a single generation to waste 50 million than it will be for them to waste 50 billion.

Family sizes are also much smaller so the split of the inheritance will result in larger starting wealth for each generation.

Might be daylight savings adjustments making things look weird. The adjusted time is correct when I view the site.

Correct. Anyone that says roundabouts are less safe doesn't have science backing their claim. While, they do not reduce the number of accidents and in some cases can increase accidents, but they consistently reduce the severity of the accidents.

A three lane roundabout may be annoying when encounter as a tourist but the majority of locals going about their daily commutes quickly master them. For a three lane roundabout the inner lane is left turn only. The inner lane is left turn or straight and the right lane is right turns only.

The ones in my area have ample signage indicating which lane allows for each type of turn.

I am more perplexed by people on a hacker forum who clearly do not have a hacker mindset.

There are plenty of forums for normies to hang out and not be bothered by us hackers geeking out over tech.

Is this going to be the new, "I can tell it's a shop by the pixels?"

Many articles repeat the main premise for effect. It's a common journalism technique to highlight the main point of the article. Often the rest of the article is simply fluff around to increase the content length with the main premise being repeated for emphasis.

I didn't realize this wasn't common knowledge.

They oil companies own a lot of infrastructure for moving fuel around. They cannot use this infrastructure to move electricity but they can use the existing infrastructure to move hydrogen around.

Gun ownership isn't in the constitution, it's an amendment.

However, the constitution does have the 3/5 clause which is 100% about slavery

That article is from 2018. 2 Year Contracts were still a thing back then. The contract included a hidden fee that covered the cost of the device spread out over the length of the contract.

That is all gone now. Carriers have post-paid plans where the monthly device cost varies based on device. These are 0% interest loans from the carrier. At the same time, people have started holding their phones longer. Renewal periods when to 30 months, then 36 months.

Some people will never be happy but cellphone customers are never happy.

Why can't people just enjoy our pocket computers with their always on connections?

Definitely guilty meaning what?

A full confession that is never retracted?

What about cases where an innocent person is coerced into thinking they are guilty?

In a world where we accept the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, where does this certainty of guilt arise?

It should come as no surprise that someone who doesn't value others, someone who value power over others, would relish in the idea that an other is being incarcerated because of their actions and all it takes is their silence.

Does that 8.3% include retirement savings to a 401k?

Your issue is of trust.

Do you use an Apple device? I can see why non-Apple users lack trust.

Apple would be eviscerated if they were doing more than they claimed.

Other devices makers are excused for poor behavior. Often with the tech-bro response that is some flavor of "install a custom OS, bro!"

If ever there was an article that needed before and after images. This is one of them.

Also (2019)

People that want to build their own furniture will do so no matter what the end-user environment is. Most people just don't want to.

Software engineering is no more magical. Some people like to build things. Most do not.

A couch is more of a black box than a smart phone.

And that's just the full iOS updates. I have an iPad Air2 (2014?) that still receives security updates.

Imagine if this was Apple saying this. It would be a top story across the web.

Given the previous grid crash this is a rational reaction.

While may be cathartic to muse how certain political ideologies tend to do the exact opposite when asked to conserve, Texans' don't trust the grid and they have valid reasons to not trust it.

From how the headline was worded, I was expecting an interesting answer explaining the 'why' but the article is focused on grid stability with the headline's answer being "dunno, maybe because it was hot" -- except the article implies this was not a single hot day but part of a larger trend.

I do not get any sense from the article that anything is being called old.

Another way of saying '50 year old record label' is 'a record label that has been accumulating copyrighted material for 50 years'
