Leave it to HN to get all pedantic. Yes, its a bit link-baity, but I "got" what was meant by the title.

This topic was brought up by Apple's lawyer during the hearing in support to the theory the FBI's request was more about setting a legal precedent than getting help for this one phone. http://motherboard.vice.com/r

... and also a way to introduce the concept of shopping via Alexa (I would imagine one of AMZN's primary long term goals for the project)

The funny thing is Amazon was great at this for their original product line back in the days for books. They hired pro critics to write independent reviews. This is not emphasized anymore, probably due to cost.

Apple is reframing it this way to the media but not technically untrue.

Being the vocal advocate to stand up to the gov't IS risky. The wording is carefully crafted to prevent spin damage (pro-terrorist, anti-law enforcement).

I also would like to know if others have suggestions. I've tired Apple Photo/iPhoto/Aperture and Capture One. I find they have severe performance or usability issues.

Yes, what stood out to me in the OP video is it is targeted to normals. Whereas Slack has a startup/tech following. Also, FB for Work has the biggest advantage from an Enterprise Software ever: they've already pre-trained 2 billio

This confirms my impression on the big downside of FFW. It brings the signal/noise problem to the office. It is the reason why I can't seem to embrace FB despite trying really hard.

Correct, the structure of those 2 are different yet is is often the case that an Outsource company will be brought onsite and be badge direct replacements to employees. They are awarded a giant contract as Staff Aug to the enitre IT org or

I'd also like to see comment links. Very cool project and something I would use!

>It wasn't about this one interaction, it's about the relationship that police have with black people, and vice-versa. I agree. The OP does a great job of capturing the emotions of the moment. Despite this, many commenters here

I agree with your take on social with Rdio & Spotify. Rdio was the strongest in this category. Still, Rdio could have done more to emphasis finding your music "friend" - someone who has the similar preferences. It was the dif

Do you think lack of founder attention negatively impacted lack of progress on the partnership/BD side? Seem to be key in the market (Spotify with Starbucks; Pandora in-car app). Sad to see the "best" product in the market go

> We’re still making sales. It’s approaching $1 million. I get about 40 percent of that. It put my kids through college. Wow. Can a stock image still achieve that kind of earnings in today's commodified market?

The ratio of coder/manager (grunt/boss) in Tech is better than other industries, albeit, still non-proportional to the workforce percentage. I presume a factor to Tech fairing better is that many of the founders are of asian decen
