Isn't all of Manhattan too close to an airport anyway? I haven't had a chance to look at the updated regulations yet.

Auto unlock would be a lot more interesting to me if I hadn't already been using Windows Hello on the Surface Book. I'm honestly more comfortable with that than proximity locking; I can foresee situations like stepping into a cowo

I have no idea which documentary you're referring to, but the idea that cancers are a class of different diseases with differing mechanisms isn't exactly fringe. I mean, here's Harold Varmus, former head of the NIH and a Nobe

I'm not talking about across different people; I'm talking about different types of cancer. The causes and treatments for lymphatic cancers are different from lung cancers are different from breast cancers are different from prost

Funny thing, the site linked in the OP is sort of an attempt at that. They look at a type of product, look at reviews, narrow down to a few different models, and test them out, and basically say "get this one." I actually use thei

As mentioned in the article, the Air Force has already paid Boeing to rewing the A-10 fleet and subsequently extend the lifespan of the airframes out to ~2030-2040.

Sorry I'm a few days late on replying to this. There actually are AASPs for the iPhone; however the only ones that exist are fairly long-standing and grandfathered in. Apple does not allow for new AASPs. I have a very close friend th

My understanding is that this is more of a software issue: only Apple and authorized service providers are able to pair a particular TouchID sensor with a device.

Tickets aren't a huge concern for me living in a state that has fairly strong anti-speedtrapping laws, but the absolute thing that has pushed me to driving less on a daily basis are other drivers. I drive a low slung sports car, so it&

One of the most useful cases for smart watches, for me personally, is sleep tracking. My LG G and my Pebble before it integrate with the alarm app Sleep for Android. Basically, I set a "I need to wake up by X time" in the app, the

I loved my OG Pebble from a functionality standpoint. That said, if your goal is for dressing up... I would probably recommend against the Pebble Round. Drop by a Best Buy and check one out in person at least; my impression is that it looks

Yet is the thing. See Amazon's discontinuation of Chromecast and Apple TV sales for a clear example of how Amazon will gladly leverage their ecosystem in an anticompetitive manner.

This is very much what's happening in Atlanta right now. The city was a pretty extreme example of white flight for much of the 20th century, and the gentrification process over the past couple of decades has been just as extreme. As a

I've had this book in my Kindle library for ages. I think this thread is going to push me to finally get around to reading it. I've heard nothing but good things both about the book and about what she's done for YC.

Thanks for the link. I emailed them making it very clear that I'd be a non-renewal and taking every penny of the several thousand dollars per year I normally spend with Amazon elsewhere if they stay the course on this one.
