You're exactly right and to me that's part of finding the 'right' solution for the organization. Sometimes you compromise for 'alignment', and heck sometimes you discover that those compromises were a better so

Actually it's >= $36/page if you pick the plan and print one or no pages. I'd say most people don't have a predictable printing volume and they're just praying on that. It's corporate madness they would be w

I agree. If bad information is given and the customer makes a decision on it, then either the customer must bear the risk or the business. I think it's more fair for the business to be out the money. In this case this could have just b

It's very common on Youtube physics education videos. My take away from was exactly what the article states. That the ultraviolet catastrophe was observed and that the study of it lead to Quantum physics because it was noted that it co

I don't find these kind of responses useful. You could apply this response almost blindly in many context to dismiss constructive criticism.

This is infuriating. Also I can zoom in to some strip mall and ask to see all the restaurants and I'll only be presented with a subset that Google decided were worth highlighting. No easy way to see the others.

Hard to know if you're overfitting your explanation in the same way the majority of people though that Tesla was wrong before they created a huge market demand for good EVs. Personally I'm not a Tesla fan and I'm holding out

Right. Someone should have told Tesla that buyers wanted Hybrids over EVs.

IANAL but I speculate that having explicitly rejected competition could hurt Apple in certain legal proceedings?

Is there any record of another browser engine being summited to the app store and the outcome? AFAIK when I worked at Mozilla I'm not aware that Gecko was ever submitted even though I saw a working local build.

Just curious, is the $500 a hard budget limit? Looks like you put quite a bit more into The Homer. Really cool to see that someone built it BTW!

That's a good response. I can buy a house cash, I can buy a house with a 5% mortgage, or I could buy a house with a 20+% loan. Rushing out features with known bugs, poor architecture, no test and no documentation is akin to buying a ho

<1KB is great and all, but part of the problem is that as soon as you add render blocking JavaScript you're adding a network round trip and JS on the critical path. <1KB might not feel like much, but it's not going to be ver

I would appreciate the thoughtful gesture, but I would rather have 20 more minutes with my signifiant other than an umbrella. And that's the point of the article. Disrupting a work pipeline to answer an executive question might be fitt

How can grocery store have a 1% to 2% profit margin, when the price of the same item across grocery store chains can vary by 10-30% or more? I can't imagine it coming down to a store having higher costs alone.

Thanks for the tip. I hadn't looked into it since I'm still on the original cartridge. When I value my time debugging janky inkjet printers I think even a 4.3c/page printing cost is still acceptance since I have low volume, r
