StayFocused on the Chrome App Store is another great one, and a bit easier to install.

This is huge. While it starts with just powering things like boot security and Hey Siri, I guarantee you this is the first step toward Apple getting rid of Intel on the Mac. How much longer before they release MB/MBPs with the same chi

Your estimations are probably very far off. The Roadster was announced with a 200kwh battery, which is twice the capacity of the best Model S. Yet the Roadster is much smaller, and the 0-60/quarter mile times indicate that it is much

Creator produces content. I pay creator for content. Did you just suggest that the most traditional, direct business model ever created, value for value, is a "bad" one? There are really only a couple problems: consumers have beco

This is a tangent to your comment: Its pretty common to see people complain about anti-intellectualism as a big problem in modern society. Then, you ask people like Mike Rowe (and I'd bet the author of this article) what the biggest pr

If you don't see any reason why it would be different, you're not looking. Apple is aggressively privacy focused. Apple is the most valuable company in the world, and none of that money has come from selling users' data despi

Apple calling it a "standing goal" is a misnomer. Its more of a walking goal. I'm pretty confident that they're actually looking for 1 minute of consistent steps every hour.

That's true, but I don't think a general purpose API for improving the addictiveness of any application exists in one part of the spectrum. Anyone can use this. If we look at something like the activity circles on the Apple Watch;

This is such a fine gray line that its impossible to conclusively categorize something as evil vs good. For example: If I decide I want to exercise more, maybe I would appreciate an app which helps me become addicted to exercise. That mig

Intentional behavior shaping is a light form of mind control, and its very much a moral gray area. You can totally use mind control for positive things; that doesn't make it alright.

The same company sells an api to help make your applications as addicting as possible [1] and a service for users to help control their addiction to applications [2]. This organization is disgusting and is evidence enough that our industry

Both of the things you listed could just as easily be interpreted as distinctive visual design elements. Ultimately, in every sense, function, capability, and limitations guide visual design. Look at the Made for iPhone badge [1]; the bez

They also can't opt-in to adblock or noscript or me choosing to run Netscape version 4. Developers fundamentally do not get a say on what I choose to run on my system; at best the only control they have is saying "nope we aren&#x2

Choosing to use Chrome is also opt-in. Its the same concept. Its not ideal , but it is what it is.

What would Washington do if they passed this bill and Twitter said "No, we aren't following it"? Fines. Deploying US Marshals to their headquarters and server farms. Arresting high level executives. So that's the worst c

I think its more complicated than that. There are reports that Apple has an internal committee, including a high level executive, dubbed their "privacy czars" which are required to unanimously sign off on any instance of user data

That's all true. And it happens on both sides; we have tweets like this [1]. People aren't smart. They grasp to whatever narrative already enforces the beliefs they hold. If you believe RT hacked the elections, then the ad is an a

I don't think this product is targeted at anyone. Their commercial during the keynote showed a skateboarding teenager using the pen, a couple watching a movie on the couch with the laptop propped up on the coffee table, someone editing

Usually performance in GNU yes is a canary for other bad performance. Its more like saying "if you can handle yes, you can handle anything." I've legitimately crashed hyper term (another electron-base term) when dumping other

To be fair; HEIC and HEVC are industry standards. If browsers don't support them, that's on the browser.

I find it hilarious that every time Apple does anything like this, people complain and Apple still sets record sales. You're fundamentally wrong and Apple knows it. They can rip the headphone jack out. They can deprecate 32 bit apps. T

Additionally, you could literally ask anyone who worked at Yelp. I have. Sure not everyone there has seen every bit of code that powers their service, or every business process, but if they were systemically encouraging mobster-like busines

They might be using it as a way to find specific pages which have content Yelp doesn't want you to scrape. The "evil" scenario. They might also not be looking at the file, and just appending random words to the end of Yelp&#x

That's really interesting. They might be trying to blacklist scrapers that don't properly respect robots.txt files.

I have no faith in anything atlassian builds anymore. They've constantly burned enterprise customers. HipChat was a horrible product for its entire life. Jira is so slow I cannot fathom why anyone chooses it except that there are no

The state government has very recent precedent of subsidizing nonstop flights [1], because it recognizes that they are key to drawing external investment in the city. This year, taxpayers voted to add a new north/south rapid transit li

I'll suggest a dark horse candidate: Indianapolis. Indy is close to two top 5 engineering colleges (UIUC and Purdue) and one top 10 business school (IU). Purdue has a unique product history with Amazon [1] and Amazon has four warehouse

I'm confused. Xeon-W more directly compares with Threadripper. Xeon-SP compares with Epyc. Why is this comparison even a thing? Also, I need to bring this up every time we have an "AMD is destroying Intel" post: Intel's

I cannot emphasize how wrong you are, on every point. They are not even close to peak market for their longboard. Ride one around any non-NY/SF metropolitan area for long enough and you will realize no one has seen these things befor
