The person you're talking to hates TV, so they bought this one because it looks nice when it's turned off. I wonder if they're really frustrated with another person in their home who enjoys watching "shouting XL American

I did not get the impression that the article was "siding with Corporate over Fast Food workers". Can you quote the sections of the article that made you think differently?

Ah, you’re right. The team blogged about the move at https://ceylon-lang.org/blog/2017/08/21/eclipse-ceylon/ , and they use the present tense when talking about Red Hat > As you surely know, Red H

IIRC, Red Hat got acquired by IBM and the funding evaporated. I think Gavin King works on Quarkus now.

Thanks. Apple has arbitrarily banned so many apps that I guess I just forgot about this one. It's hard to imagine a time when iPhones couldn't download podcasts over the air. I can understand why banning Podcaster would have made

When was this? Based on https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2005/06/28Apple-Takes-Podcast... , it looks like Apple added podcast support to iTunes in 2005. The iPhone wasn’t released until 2007 and the App Store di

I'm no tax expert, but as far as I know, 2017's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) made it possible for companies like Apple to repatriate money held by overseas subsidiaries without paying US taxes on it. It did so by exempting foreign

What bait? I just quoted what other people said. Once upon a time, the Washington Post thought that Apple was notorious for ignoring women’s health issues because they didn’t include a cycle tracker. Now it thinks Apple is anti-competitive

The guiding principle in the Apple world goes something like this: If your entire app is really just a feature that should exist in a 1st party app, Apple will probably implement it eventually. The iPhone comes with a 1st party email app, b

Apple also got a lot of flak for not including a menstrual cycle tracker in their Health app. It was a popular sign of Silicon Valley’s male bias for a while. To wit: > Perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised. After all, Apple’s first diversity

I know some security companies have higher payouts, but do any manufacturers? As far as I can tell, Google’s highest bounty for an Android exploit is $200k. Apple will pay up to $1.5m if you can hack the kernel in a prerelease version of iO

Before this, some people complained that Apple’s bug bounty rewards were too low. Now they’re higher and a different set of people are complaining that they only did it for PR. It seems like a bit of a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t

We require licenses to prove people are competent to operate a motor vehicle and we require most motor vehicles to be registered. Yet, car confiscation isn’t a huge issue in this country.

Good points. I’d argue that 3 is an implementation detail. If we’re serious about getting guns off the streets, then we need to make it worthwhile to trade them in. As to 4 and 5, I’ll just say that not all shooting are “mass shootings” lik

Mass shootings are a meme in the United States, like a sort of cultural epidemic. You fight epidemics with techniques like quarantines to stop the spread, medicine to help those that are already infected, and inoculations for people who hav
