I mean, there's only so much that a watch can do or that can be packed into it. Eventually all gadget categories fall into a lull of slow and steady progress, they can't all be absolute bangers year after year

Yeah, there is no way to back out consumers vs. revenue at basically any big company. They all report "ARPU" or average revenue per user, because there is always a spectrum of pricing, almost never a single price. Between bundle p

I almost mentioned that situation in my reply, but that's kind of the exception that proves the rule. Even in that case, someone should need to physically intervene, especially with high profile people like politicians or celebrities

I'm not quite sure what immigration has to do with a national ID system in the US. Seems like you just wanted to bring that up to be able to say "man that'd be so much easier if you got rid of all the immigrants" which i

People are against national IDs because of privacy, not racism like a previous comment in this thread suggested People are against requiring certain types of IDs to vote as racism or other forms of voter suppression because it may cost mone

The problem in the US is that the government doesn't necessarily have all of your details. Most people's ID is a driver's license, but you're not mandated to have one of those. The federal government doesn't control

I feel like that should require an in-person visit, as troublesome as that might be. A picture of an ID is not the same thing as presenting the actual ID

they probably haven't had the new elevator in operation for a whole year yet, so they're likely extrapolating. also, they won't really know the true usage of the elevator over the whole year so they're kind of guessing.

You will still be making transmissions on the illegal frequencies even if there is no one on the other end of the connection

It's imperialist to own and control the thing you created? If .gov had been an international TLD that was at some point available to everyone, or had been created by everyone, ok. But .gov was created as part of the work the US governm

>Cuban is saying they don't even do that - they don't track their costs on a surgery by surgey basis at all. And because they don't track any of that it's impossible to reason about it. Then Cuban is wrong. I had a he

This is why urgent care exists and is why if you don't have something that you think is life threatening, that's almost always better. If you need more than they can provide, they can and very much will forward you on to an ER

The ER vs. having a regular doctor is a big impact. It's partially why there are so many urgent care centers, but a lot of uninsured use the ER as their primary care as the ER has a duty under law (and ethics) to treat anyone who comes

there's more expensive equipment than just an x-ray machine and MRI machines, those were just examples. The building itself is expensive. Having the labor there ready to respond and service patients is expensive. Overall there is a ton

Because they are going to allocate as much as they can to that service that is actually using those advanced facilities. The stiches patient in the ER is carrying some load for the cardiac surgery suite just not as much as the person who ac

The thing is he'd find a lot of the "unnecessary overhead" is necessary to deal with the payers in the system. You need a massive billing organization to make sure insurance actually pays you. You need a massive compliance or

It's not even about inventory of individual items (like blood or enough scalpels) it's that they need to have every expensive machine. They need x-ray machines and MRI machines and proton beam cancer treatment and that stuff adds

Another problem is that one hip replacement is not the same as another. Differences in patients, complications arise, it's really hard to say you're going to need exactly X syringes and Y feet of gauze and Z liters of blood and wh

The premise of that article is way off base. Darwin didn't fail, because the point wasn't to create a robust open source operating system along the lines of Linux. Apple got everything they needed from the OSS community while prov

When the M6 Minis were announced I pre-ordered and Apple gave me $480 trade-in on my entry level M4 Mini that I paid $499 for about 14 months ago

how has that changed over the past 20 years? the proprietary parts of Mac OS X and now macOS have been proprietary from the beginning

No, you would sign the agreement before doing all the restructuring. Doing it first would be silly

Then what are the people voting to negotiate? They should just be presented with an in/out vote

Great, this is an actual answer and makes sense. I mean it's a little silly but 100% makes sense

As long as they hold a confirmatory referendum before actually joining, it wouldn't matter. Also, if Iceland is a democracy the citizens could simply vote for someone else next time who wouldn't keep trying if that's not what

I'm not arguing whether or not they should join the EU, just questioning why it needs two stages of referrenda
