I think the correct term for this is “owned”

One advantage of the unibody design and fewer moving parts - the devices are a lot stronger. I’d take that over having a removable battery, since I’ve dropped my phone about 10-15 times and needed to replace the battery….zero times.
Great advice by Andrew Dumont. I can attest, most of this works quite well. When you build products for a living, there is burnout due to resentment as well.
Experiment: text your parents “got 2 grams for $40” then right after “Sorry ignore that txt. Not for you” Then tweet pic of their response.
Oh god this is hilarious!
Devi’s mathematical prowess earned her the moniker “human computer.” Here’s a rundown of some of the best factlets:
- “In 1977, at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, she extracted the 23rd root of a 201-digit number in 50 seconds, beating a Univac computer, which took 62 seconds.”
- Three years later, she earned herself a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records when she multiplied two 13-digit numbers (7,686,369,774,870 and 2,465,099,745,779) *and* articulated the solution (26-digits: 18,947,668,177,995,426,462,773,730) in just 28 seconds.
- A 1976 article about her described her abilities thusly: “She could give you the cube root of 188,132,517 — or almost any other number — in the time it took to ask the question. If you gave her any date in the last century, she would tell you what day of the week it fell on.”
- Not once but twice while on tour in Europe — one time on the BBC, the second at the University of Rome — her quizzers pronounced her wrong, and then were forced to admit to calculation errors in their own work.
28 seconds to multiply two 13 digit numbers and output a 26 digit result. It would take most people 28 seconds just to spell out the result.
RIP Shakuntala Devi
Beautiful Mumbai!
Some great pictures of Mumbai from Vitaly Raskalov. 43 photos, and all of them good shots.
The contrast between the rich & poor; the slums and high-rises in Mumbai. What beautiful contrast.
Home, sweet home <3.
Awesome time lapse videos of Dubai. This is a trailer for an upcoming video called Planet Chronos by Sebastian Opitz
