I'm typing this on my 2012 11" Air, it just won't die and I am holding out for a hopeful 11" size system this fall, but I have no idea if that will come out.

I even run VMware Fusion on it (i7/8g ram) and it's ok for simple work tasks.

I have a few Intel Mini's running Esxi and that is a really impressive platform for a home lab.

I've listened to a couple of the Audible audio books and it's not terrible.

Issues -
  no inflection. It's not reading ahead to get the question mark so sentences are flat.

not able to handle some of the strange English pronunciations - example: live (not dead) vs live (like where you reside).

Other than that for a simple audio book it's not that bad.

I have a few mini's and run ESXi on 2 of them, one is a 2012 model and it runs amazingly well. I have both OSX, Linux and Windows10 guests running. Not gaming but serving up video, etc.

It's also legal to run OSX on ESXi since it's a Mac so you don't have to mod ESXi to allow it.

So all we're getting from Blue Origin is rich/famous peoples (and Jeff's creepy girl friend) arcade rides with crappy landings?

When are they going to start actually delivering stuff to real space and maybe stick a landing?

Fun read from Derek Lowe (not the baseball player)

      Food safety regarding milk and pasteurization: is an only american thing.

No one ever got a sickness in Europe form unpasteurized milk.

This week I learned from a French cooking class I took that the French don't sell 'raw' milk but it's either pasteurized OR filtered (think reverse osmosis ) So when people in France say unpasteurized they mean it's been filtered. This is a lot different from just walking up to a cow and drinking.

We had a great discussion on food safety during the class and a lot of people are just misinformed.

I don't see NYC or Dubai being a hub for tech workers which makes me suspect there is a different reason.

Until you find a bug in one of the copies of the function and have to find all the other projects and fix it there. Been there, learned to just have a portable library that I keep common stuff in.

Yeah, I came here to say the same. Shouldn't we first require that they get a couple things in LEO first?

It's puzzling since all the videos and shots show a lot of building of space craft going on but they just seem to stop short of actually launching anything.

I expected at least a few launchs even if they blowup.

It would seem that there is a big need for write once storage devices, just write daily/hourly/realtime and then play back when you're hacked.
That would make downtime == how long it takes to wipe every machine (which they need to do anyway) and pull from the storage.

code written in languages that were pretty much obsolete..

I'm scratching my head on that one. I wonder what languages that would be?

Sounds like either an excuse or not hiring the right people, I'm guessing both.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to mention the 'too strict' part. I'm guessing that Musk will just threaten to move to Texas to solve this issue. /s

And if you didn't want to pay the $$ to get in the A group you have to be online and hitting enter trying to get in the front of the B group.

I think this will be for the better and solve the issue of 'seat saving' that has been getting worse.

I only use SW for local/short flights so I can survive on a middle seat but I'm not of the opinion if it's less than 4 hours driving I'll just get in the car and let my comma.ai handle the driving for the most part.

Funny that you think all apartment renters have parking spaces. NYC would be a good example of that not being true.

And for those that have assigned parking spaces, do you get the money back when you leave or do you rip it out and take it with you?

If I'm going to 'give' my landlord 1k I would expect my rent to drop accordingly.
