The one compelling thing to me is the smart battery management in Big Sur: it won't charge your battery past 80% if you don't need it (based on usage patterns) to protect the battery life. I'm also excited about the seamless switch between all Apple devices for the Airpods Pro, but not everyone owns those

Trump not colliding with the Russians doesn't mean the Russians were not involved in the election. It just means he did not work with them. They could (and probably did) worked on their own because it's their own best interest to see Trump elected.

Even with unsuccessful IPOs, lots of people are suddenly gonna have access to liquidity. They may get 300k instead of 600k but still, this is going to be a change for thousands of people compared to the previous years.

This reminds me of Windows hiding file extensions by default. So annoying... now you don't know what your dealing with, it's harder to modify etc

Can't believe no one has cited Omni for "Low-Friction Lending Library". This is exactly what they are doing.

I have no relationships or interests whatsoever with them, apart from being a happy customer.

It has always surprised me how rare, at least here in the bay, washer/dryer hookups are. I can't remember renting a place (even my shitty student studio) without them before.

Pi-hole (https://pi-hole.net/) does something like this. It's not plug'n'play though.

I had Sonic Fiber in a high-rise in the SOMA/Rincon Hill neighborhood. Not sure why the permit data is not there but they definitely serve this area.
