In iOS this means you can edit the text as it’s being transcribed. For example, I want to dictate a todo list and after each item I can hit enter to go to the next line.

Is there any way to get a permanent link? If I wanted to share an idea with friends, how would I do that?

That sounds a lot like a protection racket to me. "Pay us and you won't have to worry about our Ads.". I don't like the idea of paying someone to NOT do something.
Re:Scientists' proposed calendar synchronizes dates with days

I don't know how popular this is at other companies, but Intel (or at least my group) does use a week-based system for all dates. Today (December 28) would be "WW53.3". WW53 is the work week and .3 means Wednesday. Weeks start on Monday as ".1", whereas Sunday is ".0" and Saturday is ".6".
While this system should in theory make it easy to calculate the days need to complete a task, I still find myself converting to Month-Day every time. On the other hand, I don't have a clue what day of the week March 2nd is going to be, but if it's called WW9.5, then I immediately know that it's on a Friday 9 weeks from now.

I've heard the aphorism before, but the reason I like this interpretation is that it mentions that "even technical people" make mistakes. I usually take this quote to imply that the people using your products are getting dumber, but here the implication is that as people are getting smarter they'll test your products in ways that you weren't smart enough to think of first. The products need to be safe from the smartest users, not just the dumbest users.
Re:Rhapsody passes on Apple's "economically untenable" sub plans

What if Rhapsody offered a 23% discount for customers that subscribed via their website rather than through the In-App method? They could call Apple's 30% cut a "convenience fee" like online ticket sales.
