Solving for a longer charge may get them some sales from holdouts who went out and bought a Garmin instead. Cramming more features that make existing Apple Watch users feel like their watches are obsolete will get them a lot more.


Isn't longer battery life a feature that makes "existing Apple Watch users feel like their watches are obsolete"?


Yeah, Apple watches are a non-starter for me. Zero chance I'm charging my watch daily.


Put it on the charger while you’re showering and it’ll be charged enough to run until your next shower. And doing this consistently helps in forming a routine.


I've been looking around for a book like this that has scientific/engineering topics presented in a bite-sized fashion so a teenager (or even adults) can discover which ones pique their interests and are worth a deeper dive.

Would this book work or is it a bit too simple? Does anyone have another book to recommend?


For mathematics, there are the Princeton Companion to Mathematics and the Princeton Companion to Applied Mathematics.


it's been a couple decades since I've read it, but I'd buy it again as an adult. Like the peer comment says, "Engineering in Plain Sight" purports to be similar and I bought my dad a copy last christmas. Planning to spend some of my professionial development stipend on a copy this year.


The Way Things Work is up to date. I loved it in the mid 90s and just bought a new copy for my kid this year. It has SSDs, OLEDs, Gravity Wave Detection, etc.



It's not working for me. First attempt said that the gift expired. Subsequent attempts just act like non-gift links without telling me that it is an expired gift link.


Just adding this on OP's behalf:

WGU = Western Governors University

Note that by doing this most (or maybe all) credit card companies will only honour whatever protections and insurances they offer on the original portion of the limit. So if you make an $11k payment, $10k of that is like handing cash to the vendor.


Mine had a similar recommendation about eye drops and additionally strongly advised me to never use drops with vasoconstrictors like Visene.


A better solution for redness is asking them to prescribe you some NSAID like Ketorolac (generic) or Prolensa (brand). Tell them your eyes get red/inflamed sometimes and they should give it to you. Very safe drop to even use for a few weeks straight so it's a great to have around for say a party/date/event where your eyes are bloodshot for some reason.

Of course if you have pain or feel something is wrong do not use this to mask it, go in for a check.


20 days into the new year and there have already been more than 1/3 of 2022's total layoffs.

Admittedly most of those have come from a handful of large companies.


I kept a note on my phone with details about my girlfriend (now wife) that I would otherwise easily forget. Favorite flowers, songs, restaurants, etc. As I got to know her family I briefly had a few lines for her parents and siblings but now that we're married I can just bug her for info instead.


Per year? What length of time are you referring to?

$14,200,000,000/27,855,050[1] = $509 per tax filer (regardless of tax contribution)

Also, the bottom 40%[2] of Canadians pay $0 in income tax, so every Canadian that actually contributes to the national revenue has paid nearly $1,000 just for this purchase.

I support defence spending but let's not sugarcoat how much it really costs.

>> The full life cycle of the programme is expected to cost $52bn ($70bn Canadian)

The other article linked states that the programme lifetime is 40 years.

$70B/35M/40 = $50 / year per person


This is exactly how Shel Kaphan (first eng @ Amazon) handled the state of a shopping cart in the mid 90s. Here is him discussing some of the pitfalls: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-talk/1995NovDec/020...
