There are production stills that are used like a slide show and combined with the recorded audio. Certain episodes have been reconstructed using animation such that the basic scene blocking and events are played out alongside the recorded audio.

(2) Given the complexity of the problem and the involvement of hundreds of research groups and dozens of national and international funding agencies, why give a Nobel Prize to just a couple of research group heads for this new understanding?

Because these two were directly responsible for the discovery and the initial understanding of the mechanism of what was going on. The depth and quantity of the resulting research, funding, and all the other streams of new jobs or additional lines of research are follow-on results from the finding, which to me is a metric that highlights the enormity of their achievement and the richly deserved nature of this award.

Swiping left to right from the leftmost edge of the phone onto the screen will execute the "back" function with or without the presence of a "back" arrow at the top-left corner.

Correct. Poorly named, but Android Automotive is the equivalent of the iDrive software that runs in the BMW center panel (in the absence of any other user device)...CarPlay or Android Auto could still overlay that assuming the carmaker supports it.

Apple Watch is not required; it is a convenience option that can be used to unlock the phone if you are masked.

You have to learn web programming to do anything.

Sorry, but I don't see how that is at all different than "you have to learn the Hypercard scripting language to do anything."

A compelling case to increase bureaucracy made here (from 2011): https://washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/marchapril-2011/more-...

I see this so routinely with USPS delivery that I now assume "ah, this will arrive some time tomorrow" when I get the "Delivered" notification.

The police union requested this. To my knowledge, they don't have any authority whatsoever to call out state national guard or federal troops into a state. Would be as meaningless as me declaring my private property an independent nation state.

The developer kit is in a Mac Mini. It has a full complement of the usual Mac Mini ports and, unless they've made major internal changes, a fan.

I'd say it's more indicative of the randomness of contestant inclusion than anything else. Are the rates of "regular watcher" contestants decreasing? Have the producers changed the type of contestant they decide to include?

To be truly effective at these games, you needed to be watching what the accepted show price of items were...you never could assume your local store price or dealership price.

I've always taken it as the power of your point of view to color how you perceive your own reality. We're caught up in what we see as the "modern world" to the degree that we cannot understand the fact that the dolphins, who, to us, seemingly waste all their time frolicking in the oceans and eating our free fish offerings, are in fact a deeply evolved and space-faring race, sitting there right in front of our eyes (and, not coincidentally, similarly judging us for how we go about our lives).

I'd say the problem is an outdated method of judging a hardware design's "age." Saying the iMac Pro is "neutral" in terms of modern-ness 6 months out from introduction strikes me as particularly nonsensical. Exactly what should have been updated there? I don't see any advance in Intel's relevant line of Xeons in the interim (and AFAIK Xeon development is itself measured in years).

Obviously, the Macbook Air and Mini are extreme (and genuinely embarrassing) examples, but generally speaking a ~1yr update cycle (everything else on that page) seems entirely reasonable, especially given Intel's more, uh, deliberate pace in recent years.

Also seems to hinge on whether the participants "consider themselves" to be a night-owl. If the effect is there, you should be able to stratify by, say, regularly going to bed after 1am (or whatever). This doesn't seem to be that.

I see Animoji as a fun thing you can do that also demonstrates all the face recognition hardware in there that's present for FaceID, which to me, is the real killer feature of the X (and, presumably, future iPhones). Really is so much more convenient; like the good old days of using a phone that has no passcode at all.

HDHomeRun's Prime model includes a cablecard slot. https://www.silicondust.com/product/hdhomerun-prime/

Geneticist in a large academic lab here, I'd say 99% of all computers in use are Macs. Some instrument-tied PCs, a couple of Windows laptops, and that's it. Any data analysis (and these are predominantly sequencing scale datasets) that isn't running on the institutionally provided cluster is also being done on Macs.

In my ~20 years on the job in various places, OSX really changed everything; labs used to have a few Macs around for non-analytic tasks where the old MacOS was just easier. Post OSX, it's nearly all Macs unless it ships with an instrument of some kind (and then it's likely Windows). The analytic tool chain is/was massively unix based, so adapting to OSX was easy and came with a very nice GUI that also did the aforementioned easy non-analytic tasks.

And minimum seven years experience with existing factory dog.

This article from 2011 (http://washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/marchapril-2011/more-b...) makes a compelling case that, after decades of cutting government jobs and creeping privatization, we simply don't have enough bureaucrats to organize and run large, complex projects anymore. These other countries having success with infra projects still do. Thus the issue.

I think the author is basing that position on this: https://www.beeradvocate.com/lists/top/

Heady Topper is currently number 8 there with ~13k ratings and often leads many "Best of" lists.

Incidentally, Heady Topper is also credited with originating the New England IPA style, known for hazy appearance and emphasis on tropical hop flavors (think: mango and passionfruit). https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/news/new-england-ipa-...

Indeed, cf cöoperation and etc... in their pages.

Nope. The reaction to floppy-less iMac was more or less a direct replay of the current headphone jack, escape key, and USB-C "outrage":

Long-time users were outraged that they'd be forced to buy new peripherals and couldn't back up the 4 GB hard drive with a waist-high pile of diskettes. They also wondered about the wisdom of using USB ports, ports that weren't yet widely accepted by the industry.

Right or wrong, Rust Belt residents see NAFTA as at the very least indicative if not the direct cause of the hulking, abandoned factories that form the rust in "Rust Belt."

I just want to see "the vehicle again alerted the driver to put his hands on the wheel" followed by "and Autopilot then pulled to the side of the road, turned on the hazard lights, and required the driver to take over."

In this incident, the driver was using autopilot in a fashion that it should not be; twisting road at high speed. The driver IS at fault.

I disagree on this point. In any system that's supposed to be sophisticated enough to drive the car and but also carries a giant caveat like "except in these common driving situations..." failure is not instantly down to "user error." Such a system should gracefully refuse to take over if it's not running on an interstate or another "simple enough" situation; otherwise, as many have noted, the threshold for "is the driver paying sufficient attention" should be set much, much lower.

That the system is lulling the users into bad decisions is not automatically the fault of said user. Some blame, maybe most of the blame, has to fall on the autopilot implementation. When lives are on the line, design should err on the side of overly-restrictive, not "we trust the user will know when not to use this feature and if they are wrong it is their fault."

I feel like I've been disconnected from sailing across the Atlantic for my whole life.

Tammer has the right of it, actually. There are (at least) two classes of "not on the app store," the first is as you describe, not generally available but there for legacy purposes and can be re-downloaded from the Purchased (not on this device) tab. The second is completely gone and only available if you've backed them up somewhere. There's even a modal dialogue alerting you to this fact when you have finished a restore (basically: go sync if you want certain apps that could not be downloaded back)

This was my take...the interface for turning it off is difficult to find because it was designed to be thus. The last thing most thermostat users want to do is to turn it off completely. Instead, they want to "turn it off" or "on" relative to local environmental conditions...and that's the dead-easy interface mentioned in the link: turning the big dial ring and having it respond both numerically and by color: I am going to get hotter or I am going to get colder. The click side of the interface is deliberately more obscure and meant for the administrator (for lack of a better term) and not the random temperature adjuster.

TFA seems to be complaining that it's too difficult to find a feature that most thermostats elide completely. Every other model I've owned in the past could only be turned off by unplugging, which requires un-mounting the entire thing or powering down the furnace (or similar).

There is typically no show of hands at Democratic debates to assess which of the candidates don't believe in evolution. That pretty much says it all.

Exactly. And, if you don't already have the Cloud Player application on your computer, you're shown nothing and told to sign up online. No link, no further explanation.

Okay, except you can't actually sign up online. Searching through Amazon and Google, you may eventually discover you need to download another application, which of course requires you to enter separate credit card information from that Amazon already has on file for your Prime membership, download a downloader, then use that to download the music application, which may finally allow you to sign up to use the service for which you are supposed to be already paying for (e.g. Prime).

I'd say that fairly well qualifies as the worst possible "new" user experience. I mean that quite literally; it appears to have been optimized at each and every step to be as bad as is possible given current limitations. Well played, Amazon; I expect total music dominance within the quarter.
