I'm not saying they're the same. Wouldn't you think the reviews reflect anything of the quality? If I look at other products else where, a 4.6 rating would tell me a lot about the quality of the product.

I think maybe there's a conflation of ratings and usability of some people.

Not sure what this would accomplish anything positive or these brands would find ways to dodge. And some brands seem to be ok to use.

What about Amazon own brand products? I find it unbelievable with their own reviews and ratings. For example, a Fire HD 8 tablet have almost 120k reviews with 4.6/5 stars. It doesn't make any sense. These tablets are junk quality with crappy software.

I find Costco product reviews are way more trustworthy. Even though they're 3-star, I still buy them sometimes.

I have a 2015 Macbook Pro 15. I had a swelling battery issue twice. My Macbook wasn't part of the battery recall but it had the exact same issue detailed in the recall. The first time I had to call the customer service and in the end they let me be part of the program and replaced it for the 1st time.

The replacement also included a screen replacement that cost $400+. The total cost was ~$600.

However, after exactly 12 months, the battery was swelling again and it wasn't covered any longer because it has passed a few days when I called in.

Then I recently I have both of the Macbook speakers broke and made lots of static sound. It would cost ~$300 to replace them. I'm debating whether I should just buy a new M1 or wait for another M1X coming.

Having & maintaining a Macbook is costly over years. It does break just as often or even more often than my Dell Latitude. And the cost to fix is often in the 5x-10x range.

How about in the cases that they have personal info in sms messages or voicemail? Info got picked up from somewhere?

For the past year, I've been getting random calls and texts from a lot of unknown sources. Many times the callers even spoofed different numbers. And sometimes people call me because they said I called them. I suspect phone user information has been leaking probably in many different ways.

iOS is undeniably the one that would lead and determine how the future would be. In terms of money, iOS makes almost 5x more money than MacOS excluding all the services and wearables the iOS brings in as well. It makes lots of sense to continue invest heavily on iPadOS to attract more advanced users like devs.

iPad Pro M1 is the baby first step to start bringing in more MacOS compatible pieces to iPadOS. Eventually it would suck some or even most of the MacOS users into the iPadOS.

I have this book and I have never looked him up until seeing this post today. All of my three daughters love this book and I didn't quite understand why as I grew up in a different culture. RIP Eric. You've done great work for this world!

The reasons I bought my SE were:

1. being small 2. powerful as the iPhone 6s.

I'm quite disappointed with this. I wish they could have kept the same size and increases the dpi with a big larger screen.

We should be applying a much hefty fine for stock investors or other kinds of investors if this $5k price-gouging is reasonable.

Those are delicious recipes, I might want to try in the future. Thank you.

I have done all of the above except the classical music. I find spending time to do meditation is more useful.

All of the above, I find cooking is an incredible skill that many people underestimate greatly.

Here are the things that I do for my cooking for every week or every two weeks.

+ 30-45 minutes grocery shopping including driving.

+ 30-60 minutes per day to cook daily dinner and prepare breakfast.

+ 10-15 minutes to clean up.

And what I think it solves/helps/improve our family daily life:

+ Food quality is definitely way better than outside. We have good amount of vegetable, fruits, fresh meat/fish/poultry and other dairy products.

+ Lots of time saving for not going out, spending time waiting, driving, moving the whole family around.

+ The cost is very low, probably around 1/3 of eating out.

We do spend a day or two to eat out or eat carry-out food.

While this takes time (months/years) to get a good skill at cooking and minimizing the time, this is so far one of the best skills I have had and I do think people should invest in it.

It's not the hospital alone. I went to my Kaiser optometry for my wife's glasses yesterday, and they said it would cost $375 for her pair. Her insurance would cover $175 + $100 discount, and the rest she has to pay. She has a Platinum coverage with Kaiser.

We went home and she ordered 5 pairs online for $50. The anti-reflective coating cost $90 at Kaiser, but only $6 online.

Fortunately, I don't wear glasses.

I owned the SE for ~3 years and I always loved how capable the phone is. It worked well almost like any new iPhone and it has surprisingly good camera too. I recently switched to the Pixel 3A when it came out because the camera was the main reason. After a few months, I see that Pixel 3A camera doesn't look as truthful as my old SE. Even though the video has optical stabilizer, it doesn't feel as smooth as my SE, and the quality is actually disappointingly worse than my SE. I miss my SE. I do wish Apple update the SE with a new version and I would definitely buy it.

I think you should categorize them into: 1. Most important 2. Important 3. Not important It's a long list, they're mostly meaningful. I feel some are subjective to personal opinions.

I'm into the photo quality and I often carry a Sony camera, I prefer my RX100 better than an interchangeable one because of the size. But a few months ago I got my Pixel 3a and I am very amazed with its RAW photos. The JPEG ones look good on the phone, but acceptable on a large screen, probably too much processing/filtering. The video quality is decent because it doesn't feel as smooth as an iPhone even though it claims to have IS. The photo RAW is quite surprising, it gives me a lot more detail when editing for a 12MP camera. Overall, there's no good reason to bring a separate camera unless I'm going for a photoshoot.

Most of cow's methane comes from his mouth, not the other side.

Maybe FAA should be grounded too, it's obvious to have the plane grounded based on the public data and patterns. Why does it take longer than that to make a decision.

I really disagree with your top 3 problems, the rest is still not very convincing.

1. Nested tabs -> it's a better way to organize when you have too much content that should be grouped under the same tab. Nested tabs are found in lost of well-organized designs. I am a programmer and I do like hierarchies. I am uncertain about your statement of people normally don't like hierarchies. Maybe nested tabs don't suit your design, but I don't think it's a problem.

2. Redundant icons -> Of course when you stack them in the "intended images" with lack of spacing like that, they would cloud our views and harder to see. If you lay them out with good spacing, horizontally, they're much nicer to see. If you're using it often enough, you would remember the icons. I think you should keep the icons, push the non-regular items to a more option icon like ellipsis.

3. "Vanity counters" -> they're designed with different purposes. Out of the 3, I only care about Star and Fork. They're very good metrics and also good pride badges for public repos.

I do see there're good improvements compared to the old design like the file list, getting rid off the redundant commit description next to it, the stats.

If you have set up the board for a single purpose and let it run, I think it may last for some time. I constantly switching different SD cards for different OSes with different configuration and software updates. Maybe that would result in something different from you guys? My soldering problem is visible through bare eyes. What RPi should have done is to design a complete system from power supply, USB hubs/dongles, video adapters, wifi/bluetooth adapters. I went through a bunch of them and it got me really frustrated trying different USB hubs/power supplies (1 works out of 4 hubs), and I am not sure the reason why (I got 3 external power supply on 3 out of 4 hubs).

I have had 4 different RPi boards in the past including the latest and the pi zero, and every single of them failed to work reliably. The hardware design and quality are poor. One of my board had soldering issue, another has power supply issue, another has SD card reader issue. You would run into lots of tough ones. Software eco is mostly for playing around. There're lots of frustration around but no good answers. I like the idea, I like its motivation, but they need to focus on the core values and make it work well. I up-voted because I still think that it has good values for kids.

These are very uninteresting to read. The first 3 points don't really explain how to successfully achieve them. They all come to 1 single point, you must be very skillful at multiple things to achieve them. And I think you're defining money/finance success, and not other kinds of successes.

"We can't do it for free" but you can't just set any price. I dislike doctors and hospitals for never disclosing the service fee or being truthful about their treatments done on the patients, especially the ER ones. They often perform unnecessary procedures and mark up the fees so high to jack up the cost and settle with a bit less which is still ridiculously high.

This rule of 3 may be a good example for reading books and finding typos. It is no where as good for estimating the chances of "something that hasn't happened". It's so random using this rule & claiming the result as an estimate.

In my own experience, I find 3rd party refurbishers are terrible at having the quality control & testing done thoroughly. Some even went on to claim as "manufacturer refurbished" which is very misleading imo. This is a very good move for consumers when buying Apple refurbished products from Amazon.

This looks to be a very good move to optimize and significantly improve Apple products' security and reliability.

I do not understand why we argue what is better between Mac, Windows and Linux. It all comes down to the scope of what we're using it for. All of these 3 OSes have complex parts and arguing which one is better is not a a good conversation to have. The market already says it all for what choices people are making. These 3 OSes feature development would always follow the market demand. They're usually not that far off for important features. And whether they choose to focus/optimize them is a business decision.

I have used all 3 and I like different parts of all 3. I currently use mostly my Macbook Pro, iPhone and sometimes iPad as they're very reliable and high quality made products. They often get my job done mostly without a hiccup. I would choose the product that get my work done best within the least amount of time so I could focus on other more important things. My wife, however, prefers her Windows laptop & android phone as she could do her work better and she prefers android because of its flexibility.

I think your case is rare and such person would hold an extreme political view which exists in any culture. I live in Anaheim, Orange County, the biggest Vietnamese community here in the US for 15+ years, and I haven't experienced that. I've been through other Vietnamese communities also and I haven't seen such attitude either. Vietnam War has been a wound to the Vietnamese that would never heal. The new Vietnamese generation after the war rarely think about it except the Vietnamese outside of Vietnam including myself.

What does it mean "it’s best to keep your file under 1GB"? Can I send 2GB+ size files?

Besides job offer salaries, we usually don't quantify other aspects such as social quality, family, housing conditions, etc... It is actually very hard or impossible in some cases to measure. US has definitely been winning with the salary advantage, but it is lacking the rest compared to many places. This would be the main reason that talents would eventually go away. There's no war, life conditions have been improved in many parts of the world, why not those places.

I don't like the higher pitch/sharp tone from iOS 11. I like a warmer and deeper tone in iOS 10. I feel like having a more mature/experience assistant.

It's just another high end phone with fancy features. I would like to see more reviews and its usability.
