You are wrong. ...note how I’ve said nothing to refute your comment because what you wrote it in responds to none of the historical empirical problems with this approach and just asserts “let’s make this not suck” glossing over the reasons

The ABA doesn't do much if anything to benefit lawyers' working conditions. It enables and perpetuates the regulated monopoly that makes it a giant crapshoot of an industry to work in.

Except that iOS blows away ChromeOS and Google’s half assed approach refusing to have a competent approach to tablets...so maybe it’s a bit more than whatever that unnecessarily disclaimer is saying.

Just completely delusional. The iPhone’s CPU is literally years ahead of comparable Android devices, with today’s flagship Android devices comparable to an iPhone 6s in terms of performance. One or two other devices may have a camera that m

None of these things inherently need to be plugged in. Wireless and battery technology need to continue to improve.

Problem is, this spam the market approach yields a lot of crap content. I realize this is anecdotal (feel free to ignore), but most times I open Netflix and go through almost everything they feature on the home screen...before turning it of

Wrong, not a stretch. It’s an interpretation, on what all but the extremes on either side can agree is a subjective inquiry in the first place. Also, a bit of a futile and misguided one if used to minimize other’s contributions in the field

“The thing that struck me was the vitriol from some commenters. It is not surprising, but it is unnecessary. It’s just that we’ve been here so many times before, and we’ve sat through people pouring scorn on us with the iPhone. I don’t unde

Eh, I think a few of the replies explain why that may be true about certain subreddits, or more accurately the behavior of troublesome users, groups, or even mods therein, but can't say that's in any way backed up by the experienc

It’s interesting because the article correctly points out the existence of barriers to tech adoption in the law — but, as justin and others point out, the coverage of real innovation usually misses the devil in the details. A number of poss

I'm never one to resist change, but jumping to Bezos buying Walt's land seems a bit premature. Cord cutting may represent a move away from traditional coax cable packages...but actually delivering a non-trivial amount of revenue,

I've opted out every time I traveled prior to the introduction of (opt-in, non-frequent flyer based) Precheck, so 8-10 times per year from 2010-2014(?) and never had a notable issue. As the other child comment says, rights atrophy if y

I try to upvote rather than +1, but chiming in to point out how wrong the parent comment is assuming they shouldn't tip. Of course, scrolling down the thread just shows that waaay too many HNers live in their own bubble pretending to b

This is misleading FUD disguised as an innocent question. The strategy is to pose a seemingly reasonable hypothetical that, in reality, encourages folks to disregard common sense, ignore security best practices, and instead embrace their wo

Apple sold a record breaking amount of tbMBPs in the quarter since its release. The HN echo chamber is strong, but its silly anecdotes don't reflect reality.

Oh please. Stop claiming every pet issue you have is shared by every developer and that it's "already too late."

Of course secrecy is not the sole reason he left. Swift was developed 100% in secrecy for the first 3 years of its life, and even after that, Chris was able to navigate the open-sourcing culture shifts required of Apple to make that a reali
