So walk me through this... Under the new law, if Apple, or anyone else, wanted to develop a new port what would they have to do? 1) Create the new port. 2) Get the government to sign off on it. 3) Get the market to adopt it. You see the pro

Talking a year from now. Or 5. How does anyone advance? People will stop trying, USB-C is just the mandate. Why spend money building alternatives? It’s adding a barrier to tech that shouldn’t be there.

Terrifying to give government this much control over tech. If Apple wants to build a premium experience that is better than USB-C then what? They can’t? We essentially gave W3C control over web accessibly and they can’t even release a new s

The only things anyone still uses aren’t things created by Facebook. Everything he built (or is proud of) is old, or super creepy, or old and super creepy. Easy to see why nobody trusts him. I wouldn’t work for him. No amount of money gets

Set up a second account for reviews. Easy. Annoying. But easy. Just use your middle name or a slightly different spelling. I did that when Yelp forced you to use a real name. Nobody wants to be themselves on the internet. Eww.

This. 100%. You never let someone who gives notice keep their badge. You just say, "Congrats, there's the door. Cheers!" You have no control over someone who has given notice. If they do good work... that's great. But if

Having everyone in the video cheer when it blew up was weird to me. I guess it’s progress... but feels like catastrophic failure isn’t really something to cheer. Just reminds me of Challenger blowing up. Y’know? Not a good feeling to watch

In the US they just leave the package on your porch, at your door, or with your doorman. In Australia their delivery sucked and you had to go to the post office and sign for a package. Those sucked because, exactly like you said, it’s not c

They need to fix their reviews. It's only going to get worse with AI. They have a serious junk review problem. I do a search, and the first item that shows up has a bunch of 5-star reviews... but what I really need to know is, "Ho

Oh... um... I mean look, it's a bit controversial. They document family trees, and then post-humorously baptize the dead so everyone's kin can get to heaven. They mean well, and it's coming from a good place, but it's a
