I never said the government should get involved in anything. I actually said: >However as far as installing your own OS on the hardware, that seems like something we could require without a downside. I just don't think they should b

It's becoming more and more clear that 'tech journalism' is essentially the same thing as the celebrity news rags.

I don’t think the laboured kidnap scenario is useful. Neither is the song and dance about democratic regimes, I’m not arguing the government shouldn’t regulate, I’m saying that I don’t think they should regulate like this. But I do think yo

I’m of the same opinion, and I wouldn’t be looking to install a different OS personally. But I think it would be a good general rule that that you can run whatever software you want on your own hardware, but not expect the manufacturing to

I really don’t like the idea of the government dictating what a company does with it’s software, so the idea of forced side loading or other app stores doesn’t sit well with me. However as far as installing your own OS on the hardware, that

The majority of my apps are set to deliver quietly on iOS so they just go into my notification drawer without an alert.

Perhaps alcohol is a bad example because you can quit it completely. That's not really the case with something like a smart phone, so perhaps the better comparison is food. You can't stop eating food completely if you struggle wit

Something really should be done about this. The food delivery apps are worst for this, they seem to know you can't turn alerts off without losing a key feature, but then use it to advertise. They should be made to split this out so you

Go to the trackpad page in settings and it will show you with little animations.

This is so great. I have a keyboard that I switch Bluetooth to control my iPad a lot during the day so this will make things easier.

I’m almost sure you can select to sign on your iPad or iPhone too and it brings up a little drawing box on them.

But these cars aren't disposable, the whole point is that they are upgradable via software, is it not? These self driving cars will hopefully improve, but limiting them because 'humans don't use radar' seems short sighte

Our web app has a single safari exception in the CSS and I'm pretty sure it's fixed in the latest version, just waiting for it to be more widely updated on peoples machines.

> The argument could be that drivers also only use vision, but other cars do come with radars to supplement driver's vision. I don’t buy this argument at all, a lot of drivers are absolutely terrible. I think we should be making aut

I suppose for a film it's something like a script or a storyboard. For a painting, I'm not sure because I'm not an artist, but is the investment large?

I’ve never heard the term WET before but that’s exactly what I do. The other key thing I think is not to over-engineer abstractions you don’t need yet. But to try and leave ‘seams’ where it’s obvious how to tease code about if you need to

The problem is if you're competing with someone else, all things being equal, that invests the money you give away they now have a better shot at beating you. From a purely selfish perspective it's better to allow people like you

I think my preference would be that hardware manufacturers should give the ability to boot other operating systems. Then if people want to run their own software they can without forcing someone else’s OS to fit them. Then there can be no m

Exactly, and as is pointed out with android supporting different stores, the alternative already exists. I don't understand why people want to force their way of thinking on everybody else. I'm quite happy in my walled garden, and

I tend to find the overuse of the word hero bothers me, but I don’t know what other word would describe people like this.

Most people I knew got free lodging up until they were 18 or still in education, after that you had to chip in.

This always feels like a laboured point. I play a line a week, I don't notice the £2, the lottery pays out a lot to different charities and one day if I'm very lucky I might get an email telling me I won some money. I'm sure
