Not an easily answerable question, and no one is giving you the real answer: look at the specific bands that your phone supports. there is no other way of knowing. a good amount of phones are CDMA and GSM. if your phone is carrier locked

Is understanding views that range from "deconstruction of class" to "this is a Christian country" not enough? The void between the american right and the general western left is HUGE, to the extent that you will have ame

I find that hard to believe. The American right wing and the general western left wing are MILES apart. I think the fact that there are people who unironically think that center-right Hillary Clinton is a "communist" is evidence

I'd actually be really interested in knowing what percentage of people read opposing rhetoric. I easily spend far more time listening to and reading right-leaning rhetoric, despite being left leaning. I already know "my side&quot

Confirmation bias? This is the same exact trap that people fall into who are successful without formal education. "All people should be expected to have an above average level of agency and intelligence!" It is unreasonable to ex

>isn't sexy But why not? The singular issue with electron is how fucking huge the simplest of apps have to be. I see desktop HTML/JS as a RUNTIME being a very near-future standard. I'm sure electron has thought about it.

Prostate cancer isn't as big of an issue fatality-wise. Right now breast cancer has a disproportionate amount of money spent on it, but I don't think comparing it to prostate cancer is fair.

Yes, but what is "bad luck"? For most people "luck" really means "how wide have I spread my net" -- how many people are willing to give me opportunities? When we say "luck surface area" I don't

I love this. I've always followed this guideline without thinking about how to communicate it. I'm fairly sure that single quotes are much more common in the UK in literature, though, so this only feels like it makes sense to NA

Kind of scary that Google is so much of a gatekeeper to the entire internet that they can essentially decide which websites get visited and coerce them into submission.

Another commenter used the phrase "luck surface area", which I think plays well into the concept that everything is hinged on an element of luck, where harder workers and people with better birthright generally have larger "s

This reminds me of Matthias Wandel. He's really one of the most impressive woodworkers I've ever seen. It's so clear to me that he still thinks like a software engineer.

Yeah, explorer here too. This kind of reminds me of enneagram in the sense that it seeks to uncover intrinsic motivations and drives. I'm 7w6.

The build quality still usually is a narrow miss. Namely, non-apple manufacturers LOVE to cut corners by using plastic on the bottom or more fragmented case design. Touchpads are always iffy too. Does anyone know of any non-apple machines

Claiming that our understanding of science 500 years ago is at all equitable to the way science works in 2016 is even more naive.

In terms of communication, I think the end game is a Las Vegas/Audi style centralized system of traffic negotiation and communication. But that's an obvious chicken or egg problem that has unrealistic solutions like making sure ev

This topic is very interesting to me. With that said, which employer wants their employee watching TV and not breathing software 24/7? I really struggle to imagine the risk here is greater than the reward.

Very cool. I always feel an itch for this type of notetaking. I've played with using gists and whatnot for notetaking and it works somewhat well, but this hits the mark.
