Makes sense to me... the Toyota mini trucks of the 80s/90s were super useful and Tacomas are basically full-sized and not as efficient.

Well, there is no great way to import nicely formatted text into Notes, not even with Shortcuts. Respect to Gruber, but if Apple supports Markdown in Notes, it wouldn't be the worst thing.

So I assume these "trusted partners", who aren't charging for the service, are somehow in the data collection racket?

Is this article confusing correlation with causation? What about a tall/blunt hood, but not lengthy... has that been tested? Is there anything about where and how these vehicles are used that factors in? Has driver training maintained

Even factoring in probable range increases and advances in charging tech, it will still be necessary to incrementally, if not fully, charge EVs in public. One thing that doesn’t seem to occur to our elected officials… there is nowhere near

Some portion of the vision and spray tech was invented long ago by Patchen Selective Spray Systems. At some point, I believe John Deere bought the company.

That's something like 13 Twitters. This Metaverse thing must be good.

Also worth noting that almost no effort has been made by the folks making note taking apps to help people make better use of their entries. Sure, they've implemented things like gallery views, filters, and tagging, but these are all pa

There have been attempts at this (e.g. the hResume microformat) and you can use schema.org schemas to build one up, but beyond picking up basic data like name, address, telephone number, etc... parsing resumes is challenging. People's

Yes, true. I should have chosen my words more carefully. While the technology is better in a number of ways and the result is incrementally better in this specific application, the incrementally better result is arguably not worth the techn

They just keep coming for the kids. This isn't even redeemable from a technical perspective as Disney has been doing this same thing on their cruise ships -in the Animator's Palate dining hall- for at least a decade.

Right. Prior to social media, people were vetted many ways and in every context in which they gained an audience. (e.g. earned standing in social settings and community groups, promotions at work, editors of one sort or another when publish

Maybe start by actually hiring a doctor, a person you can form a relationship with, rather than a health care system/company. The doctor may charge high fees, but their behavior is more likely to be bound by the relationship, and socie

Those are different. In those cases content is sent to the intended recipients. Whether they see it or not is up to the receivers. In the case of some social media platforms, the platforms decide who should be sent the content, regardless o

Well, however someone might consider feeds, we don’t have the ability to truly take control of them. At least in the case of Facebook, they mostly decide what we see and they very deliberately make the case that they are not a media company

If you were making the choice as to which friends you wanted to hear from or updates you wanted to receive from you're friends, then I take you point. When someone else, or their algorithm, makes these decisions that is something else

What do you call it when you make a post that you assume your friends can see and only some are presented your post?

I dunno. Andreessen’s service layer may make sense for some startups in some industries, but for other companies a check from the likes of Tiger might be better. And how far down the road will those services become rent?

Hoping municipalities around the country note that the amateur radio programs they've been depreciating over the last decade actually have a role to play in emergencies like major hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes.

Bought the same machine for my daughter in a sort of emergency situation. I thought I’d be returning it and ordering a higher spec machine, but never did. She plays games, runs Discord, has browser tabs open, watches YouTube, edits her own

Well, housing prices are moving up faster than appraisers can keep track of in Silicon Valley. That’s for real.

Are the QUIC HTTP/3 Connection Migration IDs an end run around limitations with cookies, ad blockers, MAC spoofing, and other forms of anti-tracking measures? My understanding is that these IDs survive network switching, sessions, etc.

Sure, but regardless of how they justify what they do I only care that their domestic actions are consistent with US laws, traditions, and expectations.

Hmm. My first thought is that this is not China. We have different expectations here and ones that sometimes run counter to the conveniences US law enforcement would like to have. Whatever happens in China, my expectations are that our gove
