Yea, I had my phone taken a few times in school. It’s fine.

But I was programming on my calculator more. My history teacher was the only one to say anything about it since it was very distracting for me. But he never took it.

Yep, screw Breyer’s. They legally cannot call it ice cream.

Me and my wife are both big gamers. We both enjoyed it a lot. I get what you’re talking about in the gameplay loop, but we play games for stories. The story was engaging and kept us interested. I did enjoy the gameplay though.

It’s more of an example how a more popular candidate can lose because RCV still depends on first past the post and isn’t that much better. It’s not translated by points. Everyone gets #1 first. If anyone has 51%, they win and we’re done. If no one has 51%, then we eliminate the least popular candidate, transferring the votes. This continues until one is at 51%. RCV is a bandaid.

Check out this CGP Grey video about RCV: https://youtu.be/3Y3jE3B8HsE

You total all of the points. So say 100 people with the 51/49 doing A/B at 5, and all 100 do C at 4. A would have 255 points, B would have 245 points, and C would have 400. C wins by a landslide.

You can rank every candidate, so you can give multiple people 5’s. If you can’t decide between them. In RCV, if 51% vote #1 for candidate A, 49% vote #1 for candidate B, but 100% vote #2 for candidate C, the winner is still candidate A even though everyone voted for C. Everyone would’ve been a little satisfied. In STAR, if everyone put 4’s for C, they would win.

STAR voting is so much better than RCV. RCV is only marginally better than first past the post.

If it’s made in flutter, doesn’t that mean you easily publish it to the iOS App Store? Isn’t the main point of flutter to publish to both iOS and Android?

You can’t turn off Canadian ones. I went to a music fest just over the border of Canada last year, and my phone would randomly go off every few hours because my phone would pick an American tower then swap back to a Canadian tower and sense me as “new to the area” or whatever. I can turn off American amber alerts.

This is on iPhone btw.

It feels like most “fancy” restaurants I go to in Seattle have chefs with tats. It’s pretty much the norm here.

So the cyber truck is bigger, so it uses more energy when driving. It’s about 2x worse. But the battery is bigger too. So it should charge about the same curve and be less than 2x the charging time.

Yea. They have been able to even update the efficiency and charging curve of the car via a software update, which has been nice. Hopefully they do it quickly now.

Huh? Use the remote app on your phone. It automatically pops up like a notification when there’s a text box on the screen. So easy. You can turn the box off by holding the power button for a few seconds. To close apps, you double tap the TV button and then it’s an iOS like interface that you scroll over and swipe up on the ones you want to close.

The UI is very minimal and the same across most all apps, so it’s easy to learn and use. It may be missing some power features, but most things are accessed via clicking of just holding.

This is awful. I drive my model 3 a lot. I’m in the middle of a 5000 mile (round trip) holiday trip back to see my family. I stop every 2 - 2.5 hours for 15-30 mins. Each of those legs gets me 200-240 miles. It keeps me awake stopping this often though, and it doesn’t add that much time (about 1-1.5 hours for a 6 hour drive). It’s also good for our dog to get out and stretch a bit.

But this truck is charging 2 - 3 times slower. That’s abysmal. That would make a 6 hour drive into a 10 hour drive. This is not how you get people to adopt EVs.

You can find anything offensive, but it doesn’t mean that social norms have to accept it. Do you take offense to being called your race? What about doctors using medical terminology to describe something like your muscles? These are the same things: descriptive words that were created without your input that you have no say in. It’s language, and it’s weird to get offended by a word being used in a non-inflammatory way.

Exactly. I wonder what the top 0.5% emit, or the top 0.1% emit. 140k is just a married couple living in a city. But people that live in a city can take public transit or walk to the store, therefore they won’t be contributing that much to these huge emissions.

I like that you bring up Android. I went with Apple forever ago and kept in the ecosystem as I got my software engineering degree, and still am fully into the Apple ecosystem. I spend my days debugging things for work. I don’t want to spend my nights tinkering with my phone as much. I want it to just work.

I used to jailbreak for that freedom. Now, I have other things to worry about and just want my phone to be reliable and safe.

I care which one we stick to because going home at 5pm in the dark is depressing for a whole month in the northern half of the US. I’d much rather go to work in the dark then go home with the last bit of light and do something fun before the sun sets.

Then what would you call Bang with 0 calories & sugars and 300mg of caffeine? I drink that (half a can each time) when I want to stay up a little later that night, like on weekends and new game releases.

Usually new phones have over half battery. You damage lithium ion batteries when you drain them to 0%, so they wouldn’t ship the cars at no charge either.
