Considering DHH’s choice of words on Twitter, I’d be inclined to believe the same too.

What’s even more confusing, I think, is that even if someone defines one cup as a specific volume, approximately how much of a specific kind of coffee grounds or a specific instant coffee have to go into it? There can also be huge variation

Facebook the company is not in decline. It’s still doing great. Allowing it to buy WhatsApp and Instagram seems to have been a terrible idea.

That could be because of cheaper production costs or because Apple has seen iPad sales dropping and traded some of its margins to sell them at lower prices. As a for profit company with very good margins, it only makes sense that Apple woul

> But then Apple is still drowning in cash and immediate term savings really aren't much of a motivator. Why would you think so? Apple is a for profit company. Apple consistently makes more than 35% or so in margins. Why wouldn’t

When I went to see one of the samples, I was pushed to a signup screen. There seems to be no way to explore without signing up. Is that what others are also seeing?

I use Bitwarden as my main password manager. But Bitwarden is still lacking in the "life" management part because common things like WiFi passwords or software licenses need to be added as custom entities. Managing those is not ea

If at all my earlier comment was misunderstood, my intent was not to point or justify Apple's policies by implying that "someone else is doing worse, so it's ok for Apple to do this" on the cuts it takes. It's just

Why would it be a monopoly? If you use something that uses open standards and provides ways to export or backup your data, you can move anytime. Taken a little deeper, your statement would imply that people should build and maintain their o

I wonder too, and see the dilemma with such things. Another example for other people is Facebook. With all the things the company and its services have done against people, it still provides some value to some people which they couldn’t rea

Not defending Apple here, but I see commenters making different sorts of comparisons and saying that Apple is taking an unfairly large cut. Can someone do an objective comparison with publishers of print and ebooks and what commissions they

With public domain ebooks in text based formats, if desired, it’s easy for a distributor or for the end user to change the display fonts (and font attributes) to make it easier or more pleasant to read. For audiobooks, these factors — the v

With a yogurt maker there’s no need to preheat it since the appliance will take care of heating and maintaining the temperature. But if you make soymilk yourself, the milk has to be cooked for sometime (regardless of whether you’re going to

GP here. There are a few kinds of launch mechanisms in play here. It should be possible to open things that are based on links or files in a particular app as a default. This is a good model because there’s already a Files app that allows a

What exactly is bad about Apple’s track record “in the name of privacy”? If anything, we need Android to take privacy more seriously and not leave it be the privilege of some power users who can keep tweaking things.
