> This is one area that Apple routinely gets right. Bluetooth just works better on Apple devices.
that really is not accurate. macbooks are notoriously terrible with bluetooth. with my macbook pro, it is impossible to play music on a bluetooth speaker, as it starts stuttering within seconds of use. this is a common problem over many years, and there's a litany of solutions on the forums, most of which don't work. another common problem is iTunes automatically opening and even playing when bluetooth headphones connect. in many cases, there's no way to prevent it. in my case, the only thing that stopped it was renaming iTunes, which required a lot of ceremony to even do. it seems in zoom meetings, it's always the people with airpods that are having audio trouble. i thought it was well known that apple has terrible bluetooth, at least on their macbooks.
here we go again. these corporations take no responsibility for any of their actions, are not held to even a modicum of responsibility, and do not care about anything other than money. they’re allowing objectively false ads to run rampant on their platform and force feeding them to people.
i hate trump with every bone in my body, view him as a traitor of the U.S., and hide all political videos and ads on youtube, and yet even i am seeing these ads. that tells me basically everyone is likely being force fed these ads. it’s scary.
if you think about it, we have reached a time in which we are all benefiting from china having a cool head about them and patience. it's really highlighting the power vaccuum that's happening.
Technically, the Chinese version of TikTok, Douyin, is what the US Tiktok was based off of, and Douyin was launched in 2016 prior to the 2017 musical.ly acquisition.
But yes, US TikTok is absolutely built off of musical.ly services. A lot of the TikTok API URLs still have musical.ly domains.
it's amazing to me that the same group of people that consistently whine about unfair treatment of businesses and also china are likely the same group of people applauding the administration's taking tiktok hostage, forcing a sale with the threat of ban and wildly making up claims of what's owed to the government while u.s. companies swoop in to release competing features and for a bargain buyout.
> This is not true, nor a generally good guideline to think about things. Coronaviruses generally confer short immunity periods.
would the common cold be a good example? the common cold is caused by a few different coronaviruses, and it's not uncommon for people to get a cold at least once a year or even multiple times a year.
According to the briefing video above, smoother than the Shuttle off the pad (for Falcon), which is the lower-atmosphere phase with more aerodynamic interactions, rougher following Falcon MECO, under the single-engine second stage. During the equivalent flight phase the Shuttle has shed its solid rocket boosters and consists of the three space-shuttle main engines (SSME), and the external tank. Still not a vertical stack (so subject to greater structural dynamics), though the thought occurs that three engines might be smoother than one.
There can be other effects as well --- the Saturn V had significant issues with "pogo oscillations", which are just what they sound like: strong periodic variations in vertical acceleration. Falcon 2nd stage issues might be similar.
