This whole situation really feels like Google has their head stuck up their ass. People are just as likely to leave Roku, as they are to leave YouTube TV. Their subscriber numbers can't be strong enough to justify such idiotic behavior

Its especially ironic how none of the CEOs seem to recognize the entire story of Ready Player One being about an evil corporation desiring complete control of the "metaverse" in order to push advertisements, while enslaving people

I hate that phrase: "They are to be expected" I expect better. I expect a vaccine that would have saved Colin's life.

I don't usually overreact too strongly to big tech making dumb decisions like these, but Spotify's podcast pushing actually did drive me away from the platform. I beg Spotify to think Logically about it. There is a limited amount

This is just... wrong. I mean, I don't know what bubble you're living in, but my bubble is not like this. Every single person I've ever met, except one, uses either an iPhone or a Galaxy. Probably a sample size of 100 people.

This wouldn't work; Apple's entire argument is that their standards for application review are "baseline", so to speak; they're not overbearing, and are minimally necessary for a store to have high security. (We all

Yeah, I'd say it just depends on your needs. PC is definitely "better". It does require you to opt-in to function versioning, but if your ops automation is good enough to make that easy, its just better. The biggest advantage

To be fair: The model does not appear to automate remediation. It just highlights problems. Also: If all of this is done toward the goal of reducing vehicle-related pedestrian deaths, maybe the dictionary says that's technically a bias

Provisioned concurrency is a bit of a non-starter for cold start latency reduction in user-facing applications. Its a tool in the toolbox, but the problem is: Let's say you set the provisioned concurrency at 10, then you have 11 concur

There are better places to go, hypothetically. Realistically: People are going to Texas. Obviously they are; ranked by GDP per state, California is #1, Texas is #2. The only people who give a shit about the Christian zealots are people hund

I think its a bit more complex than pure competition. Let's say we're living in a world where Apple's IAP framework has a 5% fee. This is roughly in-line with baseline credit card transaction processing fees, think Stripe or

Yup. I fully understand the complaint from Match (and others, like Netflix). Apple's app store payment policies are obviously and blatantly anti-competitive. But if you've ever tried to cancel an AT&T internet line or New York

Of that, we are in agreement; one is popping a pill which releases chemicals in your brain which over time correlate with a measurable reduction in quality of life; the other is interacting with an app which releases chemicals in your brain

If you don't like Oxycontin, just don't use Oxycontin, Dilaudid, or Fentanyl. Don't know why so many people here think adults are not capable of regulating themselves.

I think this is really similar to the "we use kubernetes so we don't get locked into AWS" argument; true in theory, never pans out in practice. I'd hazard that the number of engineering orgs using a single Terraform &quo

This is the biggest use-case for ARM on the short-term, and it isn't close. Lambdas are small, isolated, stateless, and highly abstract. All of these things mean, most users will probably just change one line, and immediately see a 20-

It is, if nothing else, hopefully proof to anyone with eyes that the Left is just as susceptible as the Right to turning something which should mostly be a medical decision, into a political one. Let alone the possibility that it could be c

Arguably; drafts do look like that. I mean, I can't say how many people scream while being dragged off to fight in a war, but the concept is very similar. There hasn't been a draft in most of our lifetimes. There also hasn'

This sounds like the classic establishment divert-and-divide playbook for managing public outrage. Come up with some reasonable story which explains the problem by redirecting outrage at average people. Make sure we stay mad at each other.

No one remembers events perfectly. You remember the highlights; your brain fills in the gaps with what it believes it remembers happens, sometimes going so far as to lie to you. When faced with that fact, you can choose to feel that it elev
