  • YouTube is way more than content creators. Just last night I watched an hour long episode of PBS news hour, an hour long EDM concert that was live in Europe a few days ago and then fell asleep to a bunch of clips from late night comedy shows. These aren’t struggling content creators, these are all from huge content providers that I’d have to track down separately if they weren’t on YouTube. Anything on Netflix I just pirate because tv shows and movies are easy to get.














  • We have tests, we have treatment, we have cultural awareness and more common preventative sex practices in at risk individuals, we have huge public health apparatus domestically and internationally to trace and track cases, we have drugs that keep HIV from turning into AIDS, we have drugs to “prep before you have sex” to prevent transmission. I think using the word AIDS and pandemic in the same sentence is a bit alarmist at this point. However I also think to say it’s “cured” is also a step too far. It is a deadly communicable disease that we have made exponential strides in managing over the last 3 decades





  • You mean this part where the article doesn’t say if the pros are going to have USB 3 or thunderbolt, and therefore I suspected it was going to be thunderbolt?

    If you were going to bring the snark, at least bring the quote to help others too

    Although the new info doesn’t state what kind of speeds the Pro phones will offer, it’s anticipated they will be in the neighborhood of USB 3.2, which tops out at 20Gb/s. At the same time, Apple currently uses a Thunderbolt 3 port on its iPad Pro, which can hit 40Gb/s. Even if Apple went with USB 3.0 for the base model (4.8Gb/s), it could still quadruple that by offering USB 3.2 on the Pro phones. But it sounds like the company isn’t interested in providing fast transfer rates on its standard models.
