Can you explain why it will slow down your development team in the short term? Because you have to find another 10Mb? That's interesting. I remember the days of counting every byte, but I've never experienced it on iOS, just cau

I think the part about patch schedules is hilarious. Apple is the one who, before chrome existed and microsoft was anywhere close to doing it, set up updates to happen automatically. Like years ahead. I think even before linux got it. An

This is just the beginning, both for robots and for asian dominance. Culture plays a huge role, and in our culture we're happy to watch Reality TV and let government babysit our kids. Government doesn't care about robot competitio

I'm not afraid of someone stealing it, and I am speaking about it. Just not publicly. It's too difficult to discuss such things in a forum like this. Too much emphasis on voting and threads and it doesn't lend itself to a

You mean pathologically dishonest? Apple bashing has been going on for 30 years, and they aren't changing-- this could have been written in the 1990s, and if you did the research you can find dozens like it written then.

No, no it will be %100 correct when, in the future, you want to compare it to some then present day technology and claim he predicted it. I feel that way about all of the things the article claims he predicted. I was reading him in the 19

I'm a little surprised they offered her the original $1M. Which I guess means a counter is legitimate, who knows what the legal costs are for Kleiner. But this is starting to feel a bit dirty. "You may have won the case, but I ca

Further, not all people are the same, so "healthy" actually varies from person to person. In at least one area this is dramatic: Some people are insulin sensitive and some are insulin resistant. I looked at the nutrition label o

In the case of buying a product you can evaluate the product directly. This is much harder with charity, so you can look at their financial efficiency to see if your money is helping people or helping the operators of the "charity&quo

No, it's not. Let me give you an example. In africa there used to be a great many tailors. This was a profession that was viable and quite respected on the continent long after the western world had gone to pre-made clothes. In part

That's a charitable view of it. A less charitable view is that this is the early stages of currency controls. If we simply limited people from moving money around, like they did in the USSR or Warsaw Pact countries, and are currently

A crime is when something hurts someone. The word "crime" is a moral judgement. Here it is merely illegal. That non-crimes are made illegal is an indicator of corruption. When crimes are made legal - eg: kidnapping people for d

I love that we're getting new languages lately, but almost all of them seem to be ignore the significant new requirement of our age: parallelism & concurrency. Specifically, you need lightweight processes and no-shared-memroy archi

If you're going to call someone a hypocrite, and immoral, you should put up evidence of such. Apple may send traffic to google, but it has privacy protections in place, anonymizing the traffic from the browser. I don't see how the

It's funny how Google advocates always "bash" apple for being "closed source" when this company ships the most popular Unix in the world... and all of their products, even the watch, are based on it. Yes, they do ke

I think that's possibly the case, but what I wonder is why they don't just buy DuckDuckGo. I've built a search engine, from scratch (Eg: before Lucene and Solr existed) it's not a trivial endeavor, and due to VC interfer

Also, Apple has had face recognition in Aperture, and probably iPhoto, for many years. Probably around the time that Facebook got it. Of course people who dislike Apple are unlikely to be using Apple software and wouldn't know this. E

We've been fighting this fight for 20 years. The lack of progress is unacceptable. The NSA and the government in general have only gotten more and more out of control, more and more aggressive in violating rights. That the result of Sn

There's not much downside to OS X for a Linux fan. Yeah it's BSD but most important unix programs you can get via brew, etc. And of course you can run Linux in a VM at native speed without much problem... run a dozen of them if y

And this isn't just greed. If you look at the quality of Apps on the App Store it's very often quite obvious who is building for the platform and who doesn't understand the platform and is just trying to cash in on it. Apple

That's kinda like saying the obvious choice is not to build for Windows, because you have to have Windows to run Windows development tools. Or not to build for Linux because you have to buy a linux machine.

Here's a solution: Copyright the code, put the copyright on all of the source files. Bury in there an API that returns your copyright if called in just the right way (But don't tell anyone about this.) Write up a license to give t

Germany is not a tax haven. Taxing the repatriation of funds that have already been taxed (Eg: Apple sells a Mac in germany, it pays taxes on the profits in germany) is punitive and very rare for a country to do. Most countries actually wan

It's not just warehouse, it's engineering. Amazon as a company treats employees (outside of the executive suite) like dirt. IT's a retailer, more like Walmart than Microsoft, and so they have no respect for engineering. The
