You are either utterly uniformed or intentionally misleading. Apple located the data center in China, as Chinese law requires while maintaining the same encryption standards they have for all of their customers. Google was collaborating wit

You'll notice if you use standby heavily. No problem on my Mac. I think at one point I had a year uptime. Windows will happily close my opened documents and reboot on its own.

FWIW, you can simply cut 2 cms from the tall end and have the same ratio as US paper.

So many I'll informed comments on top of this submission. First, the web Bluetooth API requires a permission. It's useful for more fully featured PWAs. Even though I personally think the browser shouldn't have become an app p

I think the article captures the problem even better than a similar one that was recently on the frontpage of HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17850836 I can't remember a situation where undergeneralized code c

The author describes a YAGNI approach. The interviewer and you seem to want a solution that's already generalized and future proof. YAGNI is always the right approach to take at the beginning of a problem. But that's one of the in

I think you got that wrong. They allowed Uber to use the private API that allowed screen recording. Apple didn't record the activity and send it to Uber.

I found charitable interpretation a good indicator of whether someone is virtue/tribal signaling or interested in intellectual exchange, finding truth and acting moral.

As an Apple user I find it sad to see this on the frontpage rather than Apples recent Anti-repair and anti-refurbish stories.

That's not the point of the video. The video shows Apple charging 1200$ for what is effectively fixing a bent pin. According to Rossman cases like this show up several times a week in his shop alone. Disclaimer: I'm an Macbook and

I'm curious whether the data is stored locally or if it's also sent to Google, possibly to be used against your interest.

I agree with the parent. It's important to stop the soft bigotry of low expectations.

IATs are a good example for the immaturity in this area. It's a test designed to create the desired results. Switch the good/bad/black/white categories with any other two categories and I will take the bet you will get t

Setting aside that the mere existence of unconscious bias is still a matter of debate on an universal level, it's baffling that people still think this accusation is a valid argument on an individual level. You have to prove it exists.

I still don't understand why people bother with template metaprogramming. And I genuinely mean it. Other languages have much simpler and nicer constructs and seem to work just fine. And even within C++ you can often solve the problem w

I totally agree, it basically is one of the few instances in programming where you really can't get around needing experience. At the time of writing the majority of top level comments were arguing against the pattern, but it's us

The fact that so many people on HN, people who should know the best how malicious this company and their business model is, are still using FB is worrying. How are normal people supposed to quit?

It’s most often not features I want change but features I want to have in the first place: Proper PWAs, NFC, wireless charging (things Android has for an while now). Self signed apps.

All valid point and I would add ignorance to it. They simply don’t know or care. I file radars when applicable, my gripes are more general: - No universal 3D Touch puts it in a weird spot. I like 3D Touch! Why not say we equip all models wi

Same here. Whenever I get caught up in some religious phone OS war I say I chose the platform I hate the least. I wish I could love my iPhone, but there are so many things wrong with it which could easily be solved without compromising anyt

But Fortnite and Amazon are huge. It's almost possible for individual devs or smaller companies to sell apps outside the store. Not technically but logistically. Hence the preceeding "virtually".

Ideally profits should be incentives for a good service. Instead the profits are a result of the lack of competition because it‘s impossible in iOS‘ case and virtually impossible in Android’s case to compete.

These people already suffer from addiction. Anything the government does to punish them just furthers their suffering and doesn’t help in any way as far we can tell. I think it’s time to paint lawmakers that imprison drug addicts as uninfor
