What part of handing over keys to iCloud to Chinese govt need to be applauded? The sooner people realize big corportations including Apple, Google will do things to generate profit, the better. Wallstreet, for better or worse, wont be kind

That's like saying Usain Bolt only ran for less than 10 seconds and he gets all the glory. It takes years of practice before one becomes an overnight success. Mariah Carey is incredibly talented musician who dedicated her entire life t

Disappointed with people talking about the tone and not the content of the blogpost. Didnt realize it was an intern (who probably lacks experience with the code) who made the false accusation in the first place. Even if that werent true, ma

The whole article seems to have been motivated by the ex-MSFT engineer's comment, padded with some false impressions on how standards involve. HTTP2 and HTTP3 are decided by committees and it isnt Google who controls it. While I dont k

How is that bait and switch? Their content, their rules. Its like saying some people get Nike shoes for free in exchange for a review. And when I ask for it, or even take it, they have a problem with it. I think with physical goods we have

Wow. I knew that HN commentators were over their head, but this is probably the most outrageous one I've seen. I sure hope none of the companies, startups included, dont give up after a week (or three) of testing on the projects they a

For the record, I upvoted you and I think its important everybody should read what you wrote. As you mentioned, companies need to be consistent with their product offering just like how we expect people we interact with online to be consist

Isnt it a little hypocritical for you to say this? I went through your profile and saw that you were involved with Contactive ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8096597 ) which doesnt exist anymore. I'm assuming that

Sounds like you followed steps wrong? What do you mean by 'didnt have the required security keys'? I'm sorry but this is like saying I wiped my computer but didnt have backups so my data is gone.

Ugh. This is what I was most afraid of. People making money by generating public outrage. I feel used.

Great work! A small improvement that can take you a long way is to expand on your portfolio. Currently it lists 2 "icons". I have to click into it to see what is going on. How about you expand on each? Something like so EDIT: Form

I'm sorry but this joke is getting really old. HN loves to point fingers when company stands still. Heck, we made a teaching moment out of Kodak and others who failed to innovate and relied too much on their cashcows. On the other hand

This isnt true. You're right in the sense that bits are not transferred from publisher's servers, but AMP page can report metrics as instrumented by the publisher, ads get attributed to the publisher and links back to the publishe

Shouldnt we call a spade a spade? If what Microsoft is doing is scummy, then what Apple is doing is scummy as well.

I find this hard to believe (I'm not doubting you, your experiences are valid) Snapchat used to be where gen-z were, but now with Instagram "adopting" the story format it became easy for all those folks to post stories on IG

The critical part you missed out was the default selection that almost never 'surprises' you. Do you want to take a shorter route? "No | Yes (auto selects in X seconds)" I feel this is possibly the best way you can provi

Varies a lot depending on the type of product you're on. If you have a B2B product, you're probably talking to the customer a lot, charting out plans with sales and marketing. On the other hand, if you have a B2C product you'

Its great that the keyboard hasnt failed you, but you have to know there are other people with opposite experience. When a product fails in a systematic way, its upto the company to remedy it (Galaxy S?, Toyota, J&J ..) One could argue

I dont think you drop half a million dollars because a news article came out. My guess is this was in the works for a while, carefully assessing impact, risks and potential reactions.

2 ways to look at this, although I assume you know both these already. 1. Experimentation is key, and a willingness to accept mistakes and move on. If all a company does is play to its strength, you'd miss disruptive technologies. Some
