If what AI/ML talent wants is to do research and draw a Silicon Valley salary then you're right, they're not going to work at Apple. Some people don't want to work at Apple because they can't describe their job on t

What makes you think this is self-congratulation? This is a response to Marco Arment, Ben Thompson, and other pundits (largely spurred by the PR efforts of Google and to a lesser extent Facebook and Microsoft) who claim that Apple is "

Even if they don't win a contract it will certainly increase Apple's leverage. There weren't too many players in the foundry business, the addition of another will just give Apple more pricing power.

The current Macbook Pro was updated in 2015. And I was being conservative, I'd imagine you'd realistically get 6 years with it.

Anyone who buys a Macbook Pro today, before they're updated in the fall, will be able to use it for the next 3 years without issue. My Macbook Air was purchased in 2012 and is still fast enough that I probably won't replace it for

It's not a good joke because it's not original and is what you'd see in a YouTube comment. It's also not very funny because the premise of the joke, that Apple claims to invent things others already did never happens. Ap

Yeah the thing that rubbed me the wrong way was how they responded to the NYT review about cold weather performance. I've been highly skeptical about Elon and Tesla ever since.

It's perfectly compatible to comply with the law and still be known for security and privacy and there's no reason Tim Cook "had to" oppose law enforcement. The only people who don't believe this is the HN crowd. Th

What apps are being made elsewhere that aren't being made for iOS? And how successful/popular are they? Saying there are plenty, without evidence, is a counterfactual that can't be proven. There may be some apps that aren&#x2

I don't think it's a surprise that Apple's rules chafe developers, I also don't think it's a surprise that Apple has a bias towards their customers which is why they're willing to have restrictive rules. Ultima

How doesn't that make sense? What if app developers started saying you could unlock 100 gold coins for free if you visit some website and click 3 ads or some other shitty experience? Maybe having that restriction is bad for developers

You don't know what price they bought it at, it could have been purchased at any time between Jan and March (where it traded in the mid $90s frequently).

Tax reform has been kicking around for years in Congress (which would allow repatriation at a lower rate) and has fairly bipartisan support. It likely won't happen in an election year, but after November I'd say the odds go up sig

Apple doesn't pre-announce things or do concept videos (the only exception I can think of in recent memory was announcing the Mac Pro at WWDC). Things get announced when it's a product ready to be sold. It's tough to say this
