Apple employees don't put cases on their phones because they can easily get a new phone if their phone breaks.

Nikon FM2.

I like that it's fully mechanical and built to a higher standard (and with higher quality materials) than cameras today. I enjoy film photography because it imposes a constraint on the creative process and makes you consciously pause before shooting. I find that without such constraints it's too easy to take a million garbage photos. For mundane everyday use I have an iPhone.

If I were to get something else it'd be a medium format camera with similar build quality and reliability.

A high power workload on a phone might require ~5-10W over 100ms, i.e. ~0.5 joules. At 4V capacitor voltage, you would need ~30mF capacitor. Not likely to fit in a phone.

This assumes you’re powering the phone solely off the cap. Even with a battery you’d still need something in the mF range to make up for the battery’s degradation.

They say the goal is to help as many people as possible, and that this principle has guided their development and pricing of the drug.

How do they reconcile this principle with the huge price difference between the USA and the rest of the world? Or between the developed world and the developing world?

I assume they are still making a profit selling doses at low costs to developing countries. If the goal is to help as many people like they say, why not extend that pricing to everyone?

It’s disappointing that taxpayers fund the development of these drugs and then get screwed by the same companies when it comes time to make a profit.

Like someone in this thread said: "Medical care really is one of those things that no person should have to beg or borrow for, in a civil society."

There's nothing I can do for you if you think that access to health care should be contingent on your bank account.

Incredible. It's absurd that an idea like this is a reasonable suggestion.

I agree with your sentiment, the car industry in its current state is getting pretty ugly.

I choose to avoid these trends entirely, and I'm happy to keep driving my 2.4L naturally aspirated, 5 speed manual, touchscreen-less shitbox until it dies. Parts are still cheap and it's easy to work on.

I agree with the author. Often I find it refreshing to step away from the absurdity of software development and go work on my car. Working on your car exposes you to the fruits of a bona fide engineering process: objects that are carefully designed, work reliably, and are made with serviceability in mind. They aren't just slapped together and thrown out the door like (100-epsilon)% of software out there.

Ironically this describes most of Silicon Valley.

I find this hard to believe. I recently worked at a firm that is making top-of-the-line cell phones in the United States. Even if you took the LRIP BOM cost, quadrupled the cost of parts and then doubled it all for good measure you still wouldn’t sniff $10000.

This looks like a writer trying to justify the abuse of workers and the environment overseas in the name of cheap stuff.

The UI being 1999 is a positive. The website has nothing it doesn't need. There's a Dieter Rams quote on this topic.

As an example, switching between folders in the source tree feels faster than it does using Explorer. This is what the web should be.
