> Apple adds no value there

I like having all my subscriptions in the same place so I can easily see what I'm paying and cancel.

I feel a bit like the Princess and the Pea, but those lines down the middles would bug me.

> It's all a matter of personal opinion

I'm all for "enjoy what you want" but to say that there is no objective difference in the writing of, say, Don DeLillo and Dan Brown, is ridiculous.

This is basically new bundling for ESPN

I really dislike the 'per month' monetization. I would rather be able to buy the decks that I'm interested in.

> In the digital environment, people mostly type Roman alphabet

Might be selection bias but I mostly notice people using the 10-key click one

The monitor doesn't go anywhere. Just leave the dongle.

"artist pay $20 per year" ... "100,000+ artists"

IIRC, the Anova cooking was originally one guy at the lab devices company that saw the Nomiku or Polyscience and said, "we can do that" and started basically doing this as a side business.

I hope he got a bonus at least.

Well, they do have a reputation for deleting sub-reddits they don't like. It would be better, I think, just to come out and say, "we will delete sub-reddits we disagree with."

I get that all the time too: Someone slams a door when I'm laying down, and it's like a flash going off in my face.

While I agree that comparing China to California in terms of large scale engineering works is comparing apples to oranges (guess which is which). I disagree (kind of) on the following:

> There are also a lot of rather substantial engineering issues that have to be overcome in California

Japan is a mountainous, earthquake prone country, and they seem to have figured it out. The biggest problem geography-wise is probably all the NIMBY complaints. To be fair, they are really loud trains that would kill property values, and the complaints are valid. I think thats where a lot of those lawsuits are coming from.

> The MacBook is fine – the new models are quite expensive, and...

True, for Macbooks, they are fine. For MacBook Pros however, they are disappointing. They really added nothing, and just took away. And then raised the price.

Well, let's just look at the source code and we can see when/where it got added.

What I would prefer is cellular connectivity in an iPad. Throw it in the backpack to use when I want a screen, but use watch/wireless headphones while walking around, or talking on the phone.
