Hold up. Is it your belief that Apple's smartphone market share in 1Q16 is equal to the number of people who have iPhones or Apple products?

You attributed the downvotes to having a different opinion, but in this very comment you admit to being intentionally vague. Maybe you should instead attribute the downvoting to the very good reason you gave us.

I agree with the other commenter. Brightcove has some very shady products and practices, and they have a flippant social media team that replies to reasonable criticism with tone-deaf sarcasm, which seems representative of the company as a

Impressive! The headline doesn't mention a law. Anyway, do you think the headline could be better?

Arlington resident here. Your comment in no way debunks the parent. The commenter did not say Arlington is a bad area. If I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, you either misread or do not understand.

The claim being disputed is that Amazon isn't profitable. You severely misunderstand the figures in that context. Companies don't "do it this way". Yes, they track costs, but they don't call themselves unprofitable

Wait, why wouldn't the solution be "define a max width"? Site authors should not be wasting your window width, windows should not be "too wide" for text, and you shouldn't have to choose between the two solutio

There has to be something seriously wrong with you to want to keep up this charade for so long. At best, you are pathologically dishonest.

This is either some thinly veiled Millennial shaming or just pure ignorance. After you read the other replies to your comment, read this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13292046

Okay, but the submission says the middle class can't afford to live in cities anymore. You're saying, "Of course they can! Otherwise they wouldn't be middle class."

No signaling at any time. You're just missing the signal. Look at the upper-right of the hatchback at 4 seconds.

I don't understand your comment. The term is always used in that relative sense, even in the examples that Oxford gives: Someone who is very rich is privileged compared to someone who is not. Further, no part the definition you quoted

I'm talking strictly cash games here. (I know tournaments are different.) Most rooms allow your phone to be on the rail or in a cup holder, immediately next to your cards but not on the felt itself.

This is pretty silly. No casinos or card rooms let you have a phone/device at the table. I've played all over the US, and while I'm sure there exists a room that bans phones at a cash table, I can't name one.

Weak-minded people don't read opposing views to change their minds. They read opposing views exactly to pick them them apart, reject them, and reinforce their own. If the opposite view is truly held by the weak-minded, then there is wa
