Security employees don't contact the FBI without consulting or at the very least informing the higher apps. PR departments don't vehemently deny, on point, an article from a major newspaper without consulting the higher apps. Ther

In 2015 roughly 85% of households had a laptop or PC[1]. iPhone's marketshare in the U.S. is roughly 40%[2]. Even if you assume that all those without a computer at home have an iPhone at home, that still means that 62.5% of iPhone use

There's denial and there's vehement to the point complete denial from multiple different companies. It's either a giant conspiracy by the FBI and multiple mega-corporations to blatantly lie, on public record, about a matter t

The iPhone is responsible for many things but "bringing tons of people to computing for the first time" is probably not one of them. The vast majority of iPhone users have a computer, it was even more prevalent in 2007 when the fi

Oh, that's troubling. Not the fact that they are adding 2FA phone numbers to their collected data, but rather that custom audience is a thing. I thought they were taking pains to limit the ability to directly target individuals. They l

I think that's a reasonable position in response from an employee trying to "activate a clause written into their contract to allow them to immediately get all their stock if the company began “implementing monetization initiative

One does not "use" the CEO (or whatever his title was) of a billion dollar company. Either it was part of his duty and responsibility to the company or he willingly cooperated with deceiving a regulator. To portray it otherwise is

I'm an atheist living in Israel. There is nothing more annoying to daily life then the Sabbath. If you embrace it, then you must accept that no one works on saturday. You can't go to the store. There are no kids entertainment. Res

Is it though? Is there any reason to believe that a significant amount of people buy Apple products because they believe it to be more private? My impression is that the vast majority of users don't care about privacy - no matter how m

I think framing the conversation as a deprecation or discontinuation of a product is too generous towards Google. It makes it seem like the product has reached it's end of life. This isn't a discontinuation, it's a failure. I

Though the word implies otherwise a monopoly is not defined by the lack of competitors. At least not in a legal sense anymore. It is defined by it's marketshare. And google search is by and large a monopoly in this regard having ~90% m

I just love the apple response mail to the guy who disclosed this to them: "We have forwarded your feedback to the appropriate team. Someone from that team will investigate and follow up as needed with the developer. Because we can onl

A conclusion like that seems very prone to data misinterpretation and bad methodology. Skimming the article I couldn't find any mention of the method used to reach the conclusion. Can anyone shed a light on the method used in the study

Is there anyone here who used both amazon CF's and azure's ARM and can comment on the benefits and problems of each? When I used CF a few years back (when it started) it was a pain (for those things it actually supported). I'

Thank you for the clarification. "On the edge" seems so strange to me when talking about edge computing/caching but I suppose I'm not in that industry.

The anecdote at the start of the article seems to me to suggest the investor talked about "being at the edge of science" or technology - i.e. doing something disruptive and new. But the rest of the article talks about the location

Is 100M$ a year profit, not revenue but profit, a low amount for a newspaper to make? that seems to me like a fair amount to be at the top. If other newspapers make a tenth of the profit, that should still be an acceptable market? no? Edit:

Actually the main performance gains is by google search preloading everything (basically putting it in an iFrame before you click on it). Which practically means that pages load instantly. https://timkadlec.com/remembers&#x2

Something to consider is that the trend of replacing consumer electronics, namely phones and computers, every 2 years might be getting to a stop as new hardware no longer offers considerable improvements over old hardware. Also there is a s

I'm guessing that's because of patent or copycat issues. They don't want to reveal it until it's out.

I don't think it's naive or oversimplified. If you don't pay for the product, then someone is paying for the product - either it's taking a loss (venture capital burn, self hosting), another person is paying for it (dona

So it's the result of a survey? That's a bit disappointing. Quarterly report makes me think it'll be extrapolated from DigitalOcean's usage metrics. Surely some of the things, such as containers could be inferred from re
