If you want to wait a lifetime to see if there are any issues you have that choice. But vaccines, even mRNA ones, are unlikely to have any long term effects worse than the disease itself.

Me too, give my issues with asthma/age and not having a family to support me if I get ill, I am ready right now. If other people choose to wait 10 years that is their option.

Don't be like Apple did in Big Sur, and reduce all colors to medium gray on light gray backgrounds (arguments I have had with UI designers for years who seem to favorite this combo). Also consider the size of elements when working with

The problem is people want "total privacy" but also want everything free. Advertising pays for the latter but people decry both. IDFA is there for advertisers to use without being able to explicitly identify the user but still pro

The headline ignores the fact that the covid forecasters have changed their model over time to be basically what the paper said to (based on the initial model from March done in great panic). So this story is really nothing. Models improve

Food delivery from my neighbor (or within my apartment building) is easy. Food delivery from arbitrary locations to arbitrary locations is complex, especially given the product being delivered is time sensitive. Unless the customer is cost

In a true market the pay for a worker with no special skills will trend towards 0. Uber drivers cannot decide what to charge, Uber does. How much an Uber driver makes is entirely up to Uber, and Uber is losing money on every ride so in the

I prefer to order food from the restaurant directly and pick it up, so that they get the maximum $. Door dash is convenient to see what's out there, but not very good to the actual business of the restaurant. Plus you are paying for th

The first AS Macs are targeted at people who don't need things like docker. Eventually all the support needed will be available. It's a two year transition, you have to start somewhere.

Competition is good for everyone. Having Intel dominate the market was never a good idea (clearly AMD is making some inroads). For Apple, control of all suppliers has always been a goal of hardware design. It only took 20 years...

However people do see iOS as a gaming market, and soon you can run those apps on a Mac (clearly limitations in interface might restrict it a little). Gaming has many segments. I play WOT on my Mac via Codeweavers emulation, and performance

Happened to me I aced everything and when the interview walked into the room I saw it on their face (too old). Thankfully that only happened once and the company wen under at some point thereafter so good thing I didn't get hired.

When I worked at Apple in the mid 90's, DTS had to hire someone to go around to every engineering team to collect what they had change so we could write a tech overview of an OS release, otherwise no one would have known what changed.

Sometimes the harshest (but expert) critics do make things better. In my first startup/application in the 80's our harshest beta tester turned into a big supporter because he was passionate about us getting it right.

In the long run Uber goes out of business, since it can only be profitable if the drivers are actual slaves and earn nothing. Until of course people perfect AI taxis, then all Uber drivers can get unemployment, oh, wait.

Really huge win for those without health insurance in the US. In any other country having a job with no benefits is not an issue, except here, where getting sick and going bankrupt are fine with everyone. Of course with such low unemploymen

Right and how do you get people to read your blog? Ads? Billboards? No one will find a new blog with no Google juice. I used to get 300K a year but it took more than a decade to get to that level. I gave up on it (job burned me out). Now I

Columbus had a hard time finding anyone to fund his idea of traveling west to seek India until the new monarchs in Spain decided it was cheap enough to risk and he found a whole new land mass (sadly to loot). People have always taken risks

Why anyone would pay these folks anything is beyond me. While cheating is certainly a thing, and easier to do online, violating people's personal space and trusting in some average behavior BS to flag things as suspicious does not seem
