East of Eden is excellent. Pugh will probably win an Emmy, and deservedly so, but if Hoon Lee doesn’t win one too I’m going to leave a trail of destruction from Massachusetts to California.

It was also extremely convenient for European rules that if the debt load got away from them, they could always just expel the lenders or order a pogrom. Simple!

This is the more accurate take based on what he actually croaked out, which is that the “Muslim Brotherhood” (a term I’m sure he’s using suuuuper precisely) has killed off their culture of learning. It’s still utter garbage and extremely racist and glosses over the role that America and the rest of the west had in making a creating an environment where extremism and autocracy can ascend.

He also conveniently overlooks that his own boss has embraced authoritarianism, enabled backwards religious zealotry, and triggered a war on literature and science like the US has never seen. “Y’all Qaeda” indeed.

I don’t know if they’ll ever be perfect, as it’s just a serious materials science issue to make something fold that should never show a seam, but I’d be willing to tolerate a little crease if they didn’t charge an arm and a leg and made them “reliable but eventually with a small crease.” Seems we are not there yet, but I thank the early adopters for their service.

I’ll join the chorus. If the price-point were right and the tech were reliable, I’d happily trade a good amount of thickness in order to have the option of an iPad Mini or an iPhone, but in the footprint of the latter when not in use. I really prefer to carry my phone in my front pocket and not to EDC a bag.

It’s just that the price-point is wrong and the tech is not reliable.

The article says that the best guess is there’s a physical part of the hinge about there that must be perfectly aligned, and if it isn’t then that specific screen is eventually doomed.
