Please don't post unsubstantive comments here regardless of how wrong someone is. And especially please don't post in the flamewar style. I realize it's frustrating to encounter these discussions on the internet, but we need you and everyone here to do better than this.
If you know more than others, post correct information so that readers can learn something. Even if you don't persuade the person you're arguing with, the fair-minded majority will benefit.
My office replaced our 2015 Macbook's with the "latest and greatest." I hate sitting next to my coworkers who use them now. They're good typists and prior to the switch I didn't even notice their keyboard noise, but the new keyboard design made keystrokes noticeably louder because the cushioning was sacrificed in the name of thinness.
It's distracting in the workplace and I would feel bad if I ever had to use one in a library or any other "quiet" environment. These were considerations I never had to make with the previous keyboard.
The NYT editorial board seems to have a personal vendetta against FB/Amazon in particular. Twitter and Google get passes in mainstream media, for whatever reason.
I wish they would give the same scrutiny they gave to FB for the past year to Equifax or cellphone carriers that sell our ___location data.
Well, the NYT editorial board has been carrying a lot of water for Trump. Given his childish Jeff Bozo and Amazon Washington Post attacks, this would align nicely. So not a surprise, just more disappointment from the NYT.
The vast majority of Americans don't know/care what the active ingredient in Tylenol is because its effects have been extensively studied and tested and there's strong evidence consuming it over long periods of time has minimal to no harmful health effects.
Read the sibling comment. Smoke all the cannabis you want, too much THC hasn’t killed anyone yet. The same cannot be said for acetaminophen, and it is in a lot of stuff that might be taken along with Tylenol, so people should care.
As another commentor mentioned, Tylenol isn’t the best example here: acetaminophen is fairly dangerous and it’s not at all clear that it should be as easily available as it is.
This is the Nirvana fallacy. You aren't addressing the main point of the article, which is even if marijuana is legalized its use perhaps shouldn't be widely promoted because its health effects--both positive and negative--aren't fully understood yet.
Anecdotal, but I am not a heavy phone user at all. Within a year of purchasing my brand new iPhone SE, the battery capacity dropped from 100% to 82%, causing it to begin to lag considerably doing even basic tasks and shut down randomly two or three times a week. This should not happen to a product that's only a year old.
That sounds like you have defective hardware. You're right in that you shouldn't experience significant battery degradation within a year. But beyond that, 82% battery capacity should not result in significant lag and really should not result in randomly shutting down two or three times a week.
If you had brought your phone in to an Apple Store during that first year I'm sure they would have replaced it for you under warranty.
My SE is slightly over a year old and I'm already at 90%. Not happy. Though unless Apple comes out with something similar, I will replace the battery at full cost before I replace the device.
Not that there's anything wrong with reporting on the same topic by multiple publications, but this article just seems like a poor copy of this WSJ article published in August:
Out of curiosity, are there journalistic guidelines about publishing duplicate articles when there are seemingly no new pertinent developments? I haven't seen anything like this before.
Could be the author drumming up the attention, a la celebrities giving basically the same interview on the late-night circuit to promote their newest reboot/sequel.
