You can call an uber (or lyft) for your destination, with a few finger taps.
(*And the driver will know who they are looking for visually, as well.)
I find that most tutorial/explanations come fully baked with the the problems -predictively- solved, as opposed to reactively solved, if that makes sense -- The difference between ("In order to prevent this problem, we'll do X" as opposed to "Hmm that's not working. Why is that? Ah. Okay perhaps we can do W... no, that won't work and here's (y, zing) why, let's try X")
Author's blog notwithstanding, where are other places to read other developers essentially plain-speak their way through problem solving / program architecture in a similar fashion?

The same thing happened with the S and the X. "Flipping" a 3 won't be difficult.
Here are a few that I was in the room when the artist was recording, and can confirm pitch correction:

The argument that people will always pay for the cheapest reasonable alternative would suggest that grocery stores would only sell the cheapest, generic brands. People will pay for quality and social proof, perceived or otherwise. Two identical products but one with (say) 500 genuinely earned reviews over time will always feel like a safer bet.
My expectation isn't that Amazon FBA will be my career for life. I expect it will be a viable income stream for a few years while I reinvest this time (and some of the earnings) into more stable industries (I have so much time to play with VR now) and develop an SaaS (including one in the Amazon space, go figure).
I had a similar thought when I first heard about it, but then decided that I should give it a try as I am always dismissing things out of hands for believing that they are scams.
One year later I've quit my job (full stack developer), and sell full-time on Amazon and have never been happier. My current listings generate the majority of my income and require just a few hours a month to maintain.
For the rest of my time I do whatever I want.
It's not that things are inherently scammy, or unscammy. It's just things are or aren't easy based on your ability/work ethic, and the competition is or isn't steep based on how uninspired you are when competing.
The whole "cheap chinese knockoffs" thing is dismissive and frequently inaccurate. The great majority of things that people purchase from Walmart/Amazon/Target are manufactured in China, full stop. Some of it is cheap, yes, but no more or less than the ones by the "name brand" private labelers.
That information I think would be more compelling to an employer (or self-employer), because without it, you're simply saying 'You'll get more out of overworking people, you just won't get as much more.'
Which still reads like "more."
iruntunes.com - Circa 2002. The idea was music which was tailored to your cadence. I hate(d) running off beat.
introshirts.com -- (2003?) Shirts for introverted people with phrases that were designed to be identified only by OTHER introverted people with similar interests. So... yeah. T-shirts.
wgatv.com -- (2007) when the first writer's strike happened, I thought that writers should band together and use the internet to make and distribute their own internet TV. Even wrote a "manifesto" YOUTH!
King is against detailed description of characters -- (paraphrased) "If I describe character too much, it conflicts with your view of them."
He's also against overly detailed description of places -- (paraphrased) "Keep it brief. You want to give a description of the room, it's not a travelogue."
The upshot is that he's what some writers call a "Discovery Writer", he sits down at a blank page with an image, or rough idea, and just writes and sees what happen. (George RR Martin/Game of Thrones is also, believe it or not, a discovery writer).
I'm not familiar with Asimov's process, but based on Agatha Christie's genre, I'd be surprised if she didn't structure hers fairly heavily.
Question:
Why doesn't Apple log stolen serial numbers so that the second they show up (connect to iCloud, brought in for repair, or whatever), alarms, dogs, sharks with lasers, you know, the usual.
I feel like computers shouldn't be any more thieve-able than cell phones.
One person sued them in small claims court and won. (http://www.mactech.com/2012/02/27/how-fight-att-data-throttl...)
He outlines the steps on his website. (http://www.taporc.com/)
How will they know if I'm in their area? I wonder if they cross-referencing my phone # with my existing Uber account.
The mobile version makes -more- sense to me.
It has to be a conscious artistic decision, because it would be trivial to 'nudge' the frame around in an NLE (we'll assume Final Cut here, right?) to make sure the Apple logo never moved.
There are also some shadow inconsistencies that could've been skipped, there's no need to actually swap out the entire laptop for each shot, could just use the logo/sticker area.

It's not that LA isn't a nuclear city, it's just that LA is 5 nuclear cities all within a (traffic free) 30 minute drive of one another. So the problem is when people want to live in one city and work in another.
There are more than enough (schools, companies,etc) within any one 'LA' to restrict your search to that and not be missing out on a golden opportunity.
As far as the friends thing, that's true too, but like another commenter pointed out, they start to become long distance friends, so you make it a point to go hang out with them, and you just end up socializing more with friends in your neighborhood, which is natural because when you go out, you meet people who live near you, more often than not.
The easiest way to love LA is simple. Move here, sublet til you find a job, then move into an apartment < 10 minutes from your job. (Or, if that's not doable, try to move opposite the flow of traffic.)
Moving here, picking a place, and then finding out that you have a 90 minute commute is just a recipe for hatred.
As far as the people -- Yes. There are a lot of self-serving actors, actresses, directors, etc. But there are 9.9 million people in this town, which means that even if the people you are inclined to like are a minority, there are hundreds of thousands of them. And the neat thing is, when they find you (and you them), you'll appreciate each other even more.
I wish I could see my oldest.
I also wish someone would create a script which would search through my searches (!) and infer what my interests are, over time, and display them on a horizontal timeline.
