Yes, you implicitly did, because the top 10% definitionally includes the top 1% (and the top 0.01%). I'm not really sure what you're trying to argue for/against here. Yes, people in the top 10% of income-earners collectively

With my Kobo Libra 2, if I set justification to "off", it follows the justification that's in the ebook -- which usually tend to do exactly what you're asking, e.g., justify body text while leaving headers alone. When I

I can't speak to the experience in France, but my experience with Kobo in the US has been that it's just as good as a Kindle in most respects, and better in some others, such as integration with Overdrive and Pocket. (My understan

I think if your app is on the App Store, it's kind of trusted by definition, isn't it?

Yes. I see this kind of "if your lock is easy to pick and your house is robbed, it's not the burglar's fault" argument a lot -- it's the lock-maker's fault! It's your fault for not doing enough research on

I can think of at least one YC startup -- one that was relatively high-profile, for a hot minute, at least in the developer space -- that just shut down, period, that doesn't seem to be on the list, because I worked there. One extra ir

TextPattern needs more attention and love in general! (Although to be fair, it also needs to be developed a wee bit faster.)

The Tandy 2000 was the only 80186-based machine I'd known of until now. I actually had one for a while, bought from Radio Shack when they were quietly dumping the remaining stock for something like 90% off. It was like a computer from

Right. It's closer to Jetbrains' model for their IDE, although arguably better. IIRC if you stop paying Jetbrains an annual license, the license "falls back" to the version the IDE was at when the license started 12 mo

I suspect they're saying that for a lot of us, Apple provides enough value compared to the competition that we buy them despite the premium prices (and, on iOS, the lock-in). It's very hard to explain to people who haven't

Derivative works aren't really the primary problem copyright law was created to address. In the early days of novel publishing, it wasn't uncommon for a popular book an author had sold to a publisher on a royalty basis to just be

Given that much of the tone of the discussion here is not only dismissive of the report but the link has been actively suppressed via flagging, I don't think it's credible to argue there is some kind of organized anti-RMS "ma

That's an argument against buying an iPhone and AirPods Pro together as a combination instead of buying a hearing aid, but - it's not an argument against using AirPods as an aid with mild hearing loss if you're already an iPh

I've noticed that Apple Maps incorporated their own rating system some time ago (I want to say within the last one or two years); it's simple, just asking you to give a thumbs up or thumbs down on certain businesses, sometimes wit

They didn't have a technical reason to be that late, but they probably had a marketing reason -- and I don't mean "they made money by licensing Lightning." (They did, obviously, but I don't think it was raking

This is happening with a lot of companies that don't really have to care about "startup value"; they're tiny (sometimes even one-person) shops that aren't likely to ever go public, be bought for millions, or so on.

They're not comparing it to a MacBook, though, they're comparing it to an iPad Pro. We could go through the whole dance of figuring out which weighs more and what does what with whom and where, but I think it's probably easie
