It would be hard to imagine actually be disappointed that my preferred service is an option, but not the default. I use few of the defaults on my phone.

Meanwhile DuckDuckGo (probably valued at under $50 million) is worth less than 1% of that fee. No wonder Google continues to retain a monopolistic market share.

You may have missed the part of my post where I said I reported the user to GitHub four hours before posting. I posted about it here because (1) I wanted to draw attention to this problem, which is affecting many developers this month becau

A domain isn't a private good until it's actually owned by a private party.

The idea that the American government will step up and legislate these protections is a hopeful one, but not even remotely realistic. It's a much better use of the time of game developers to unionize now, demand better working conditio

These look to be new. Refurbished listings clearly indicate that, for example, the listing "Refurbished iPhone 7 128GB - Black (Unlocked)" [1], and it goes on to describe details about what a refurbished phone from Apple entails —

The result of this is the attitude that we shouldn’t even bother trying to make services and products more secure. Why send tweets over HTTPS? It’s all public anyway. Why should WhatsApp use end-to-end encryption given Facebook’s hostility

It's surprisingly not that hard to have a snack with a headset on. Probably even easier when VR is just a pair of glasses.

At first I thought this was about the PowerPort PD Atom 1, which isn't yet released, but it's about the PowerPort PD 1, which came out sometime last year.

Right, CenturyLink probably could have legally hijacked DNS to send this message without the law too. Tons of laws have leeway for corporations to do shitty things. It doesn't make the corporations blameless.

I think you're mentioning the similarities but omitting all of the differences — radically different design, waterproofing, face ID, wireless charging, fast charging, etc.

Many parts of this article are so disingenuous. There's a smartphone decline coming, but it's not here yet, and this article is a premature declaration that can't substantiate itself. It starts by talking about a "smartp

Frankly, no. There are already a few laptop-form-factor-devices out there with a flat panel for a keyboard, and the experience is terrible. If a glass bottom was really the way to go, Apple wouldn't have moved towards physical iPad key

Does anyone use the new MacBook Air for iOS app development? How does it hold up?

What year model is your MBP 13? The biggest problem with mine is that the keyboard has been a nightmare. Nonstop issue for the past 2 years. My right shift key hasn't worked since early 2017.

You're right, it was about the donation to the Nimble America organization, not about his political beliefs. And this is according to the very WSJ article we're discussing. But the submitter changed the HN title to make it seem th

The selling point of the iOS App Store to developers is, “what other choice do you have?” The Mac App Store doesn’t have that advantage.
