A lot of what the Air Force does is essentially act as FedEx for the military. They do a lot of logistics / shipping.

> why do people keep thinking that people want to collaboratively edit a document?

There's a difference between collaborative editing and simultaneous editing. Wikipedia is collaborative, but not simultaneous.

If there are ads on the page where news stories are displayed, it seems reasonable to me that some of the revenue those ads make should be shared with publishers. Anybody know what Facebook's revenue split is like?

Fake news is free. Journalism is expensive. In the long run I think Facebook doing more to support journalism would be good for Facebook and good for our society. Behaving like a leech just isn't sustainable or healthy.

Something doesn't add up in the link you posted. The beef burger they are using for comparison isn't a beef Whopper.

For example, according to BK the Whopper has 980 mg of sodium which is almost 3x as much as the IB.

If Google credited me $5 that I could use in their app store, I don't know what I would buy with it. The days of being excited for apps are long gone for me.

I have a core set that I've settled on and am not really interested in trying every new thing anymore.

You have this exactly backwards. Apple is making this technology available to more people, not fewer.

If you don't like Apple, you can always buy a device from Omron or some other manufacturer. It's way more expensive than an Apple Watch and doesn't do as much. It will do a better job of monitoring your heart though.

I think there's still a lot of opportunity for somebody to come along and make watching TV a lot better than it currently is. I'm interested in shows, not channels. I should never have to google "where can I watch the expanse".

I actually like Apple news. I've spent a lot of time liking and blocking stories and it's getting pretty good at finding stuff I want to read. The 50/50 rev share seems to be bothering a lot of people, but I'd need some context to really have an opinion. How does that split compare to what Hulu pays for shows I watch? what do magazines pay writers? What does Spotify pay to copyright holders?

Like I said, the great search is the number one reason I keep using it. I can throw just about any file in there and it seems to be able to index it. I will often take a snapshot of a whiteboard and store that in Evernote. It does an astonishingly good job of recognizing the handwritten text and so if I search for "object cache", I'm going to find web articles I've saved, source code snippets, pdfs from conferences, and snapshots of white boards.

How I've used it has changed over time.

I think what makes it valuable to me is the search. I just throw everything in there and can usually find exactly what I need with search. The number of search operators is pretty amazing.

The second big win is their web clipper (or is it Clearly?). It does a really good job of grabbing web page contents and leaving behind the stuff I don't want (mostly ads). I can tag it and store it in Evernote and find it later. When I'm working on a big project, it's a nice way of keeping all of my notes together.

I like Evernote a lot. It's worked very well for me and the few problems I've had over the years were resolved relatively quickly by support.

That said, I think the software was finished a while ago. I wish they would stop adding new features, make the company way, way smaller, and just polish and refine the core product. Everything that isn't the core product should be moved to an extension. Lower the development and support costs enough that the company can be profitable by charging users $1 or $2 per month.

Do you have any idea why the rights holders for those few shows insist on commercials?

It probably isn't enough. I think it's going to take somebody being able to show they've been harmed by the data collection and it will have to work it's way to the supreme court.

I wish the company had a way that I could get (or even purchase) a copy of the report on me. I can't think of any reason why they should object to that.

So do you think one day there will be a headline:

Average Broadband Speed in US Rises Above 50 Mbps Again

I just did the upgrade. I have 30 days to roll it back and I might do that but at least I have the license now.
