I highly recommend the audio book, he reads it himself.

I don’t actually think it’s the first time. I recall seeing articles like this in college. A lot of groups love to do victory laps before they’ve ever gotten to the field.

It’s like every article that says a judge blocked X, Y, or Z but the decision is overturned on appeal two days later.

One college granted a trivial accommodation with no government review or legal analysis. They did not make any policy changes.

I think the college made the right decision. It’s easier to grant it than to try to figure out if it’s legally justified.

I guess my take is they didn’t prove anything and they’re trying to make everyone think they did.

I’m not sure. macOS has had some degree of support for touch screens internally for a very long time (2010) but required hardware specific drivers.

So this probably isn’t the matter of macOS finally adding native support. More that they revealed what was already there.

Or it can be a complete rewrite. Either way they would have to explicitly implement support for external touchscreens using a generic driver instead of a specific one for each device.

I kind of feel like this is a non-story. The ask was small and reasonable. It was easy enough to grant the accommodation and avoid a confrontation. HR in companies does this all the time.

I haven’t been able to do background play in YouTube without Premium for at least 4 years. I also recall finding Reddit threads of people having the same issue.

So… not exactly new for iPhone users.

I’m pretty sure mounting weapons on a drone is already very illegal.

If someone is mounting weapons on a drone, a flight restriction isn’t going to stop them.

It’s like putting a sign on a bank that says no bank robberies. Guess who isn’t going to obey the sign? People who rob banks.

The FAA rule isn’t there to stop bad actors. It’s there to prevent bad actors from being recorded.

Oh wonderful. That’s what’s happening to me. I’m an author and Apple‘s dictionary appears to be missing about half the more uncommon words in the English language. It’ll never recognize “prescient” in dictation for example. Some words it marks in red because it thinks it’s a spelling error. I know it’s not because I’ve used it, read it, and it’s in online dictionaries.

At least I’m macOS I can use Talon instead of the system dictation.

I think it matters a lot because Amazon doesn’t have their own airline. They contract out their aviation to multiple companies.

The incentive is to pick the lowest bid and that could be a company whose culture creates indirect pressure on pilots to be on time. All it takes is a dispatcher in a small company that is constantly irritated when things are late. Knowing that the other people are going to be angry with you for being late can make you hesitant to go around, causing exactly this type of accident.

Is this what happened? Probably not. Pilots get tunnel vision for any number of reasons.

Reddit has fully religious people devoted to the Apple cause. If you haven’t been around these people, you wouldn’t believe it.

Apple doesn’t need astroturfing; their fans do it for them.

The FCC takes the public commons very seriously. Given how easy it is to make radio frequencies unusable, they need to hammer hard and fast to discourage people from trying. They don’t wait for a report to be filed, they can proactively search for violators. They may only be able to fine you but they can get law-enforcement involved. Especially if your city or state has laws against what you’re doing. You usually see this when you start messing with airplanes.

I believe they do. It’s used to get an initial fix before you get gps coordinates. Wifi network names in range might also be used.

Tobacco can make you really sick if ingested.

Anything distilled may contain methanol.

Mushrooms can be a different type than what’s on the label.

Fermented products may contain poisons from dangerous bacteria. If you’ve heard about entire churches full of people dying in South America from bad food, it most likely fermented corn.

Expired food products may be contaminated with bacteria. (Unless they canned, jarred, or too dry Etc.)

Fresh apples may contain enough pesticide to make you sick. Wipe them off with a paper towel before use if you’re not peeling them.

Mostly because selling and/or using it is illegal or morally offensive enough to be penalized by your community if too many people know.

There are different no fly lists. Airlines maintain their own list of people they’ve banned from their planes.
