This iOS 26 change could make it Apple’s most surprising update yet

The Origin of the Research University

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-27 23:50:52

Real scholarship happened in new, modern, enlightened institutions like the British Royal Society or the French Académie des sciences. Universities were a medieval relic. And nowhere was it more medieval, hidebound, and generally dysfunctional than in the German-speaking world. But something happened to German universities at the turn of the 19th century — they develo

While Tesla's so-called "Autopilot" and "Full Self-Driving" features have generated more than their share of controversy, one of the company's other assisted driving modes is now in the spotlight after a nail-biting crash in California.
