Interesting that Wearables is flat.

AirPods completely saturated their market incredibly quickly.

The changes for the watch were also very uninspiring this year.

Why talk about 2.6 kWh/day (power*time/time = energy/time = power) when there is perfectly fine unit for that, namely the watt?

2.6 kWh/day = 2.6 kWh/24h = 108 W, on average.

Electric bills aren't calculated by the Watt, you pay per kWh. The expected cost of running the fridge is the salient information.

EVs have entered the chat

Still, I'd always prefer less cars and more transit.

I first heard the phrase used by parent in a video [1] by youtube channel Not Just Bikes, which found EVs to be similar to ICE cars at typical speeds.

We have legislated racial gerrymandering which that would do nothing to combat. The simple fix against gerrymandering is to get rid of the concept of districts and just let people vote on house members at the state level, and have enough representatives that one populous locale couldn't dominate the reps

dogsgobork · 10 months ago

I would think that majority-minority districts would arise more naturally with smaller districts. Currently the average district covers over three quarters of a million people, more than the population of Seattle. Something like fifty thousand people per district would give the neighborhood of Harlem in NYC four representatives.

What does Science do to those in its ranks who challenge Global Warming Dogma? Flat Earth? Alternative medicine?

Tell them to present some evidence or go pound sand? (“You know what they call alternative medicine that's been proved to work? Medicine.” -Tim Minchin)

You'll need a flux capacitor to go with that.

AT&T wasn't publicly traded until 1984, so there's a clue for you right there

dogsgobork · a year ago

By 1984 AT&T had been listed on the NYSE for over 80 years.
