I think these points are fair, and we are just following market forces. If a new phone OS suddenly popped up with a ~20-30% market share we would obviously need to support it; we are in the business of building apps and not smart phones or

>Yeah, that's exactly the goal of Google: lock-in. The Play Services are nice, so you use them, and then your users are stuck with Google. You don't really care about the few users who would use your app on a de-googled phone,

Real world example: One of the app teams I work with has apps for iOS, Android with Google Services, and Android without Google Service (FireOS). The FireOS app is behind the Google app and here's what one of the Android devs had to s

As a mobile developer: The two primary OS ecosystems are already difficult to develop for. And we already kind of have a third if you count Amazon Fire, as they run Android without Google services, which creates all kinds of edge cases spe

I've taken the Lake Shore Limited overnight from NYC to Chicago and loved it! Would love to try the California Zephyr next.

It's terribly sad, and yes I'm excited about the ongoing work to connect Scranton. Lots of people commute daily via bus between Scranton and NYC and I feel for them. I've heard mixed quotes from people who've talked in

Let’s put it this way: I live in a small upstate NY city with roughly 100k people in its metropolitan area, but am still two hours driving distance from the closest Amtrak station. How much bigger should we get before we should expect a st

Here we are wishing that we had daytime trains half as good in the US. Yes it's fine if you live near the northeast corridor, but what about the rest of us out here in "flyover country"?

I don't care what they do. I'm just observing that they and others over leveraged themselves and now need to lay people off because of market conditions.

I love that we're already seeing some professors being intellectually honest about the future of AI. Knowing how to use AI, and knowing its limitations will be a needed skill in years ahead. The analogy I like is that it's sort o
