Come on man. He literally said logging into GMail should be ok since it doesn't use IDFA and I am saying it is not as per Apple's guidelines.

Looks like someone missed the train.

You know something special which others, who have much sophisticated investing mechanisms, don't know ehh? If you are so confident in asking someone like Ray Dalio to "discount" their post, then why don't you bet against

I would like to correct you here. It doesn't matter if the app is using IDFA or not. If the app is using data for targeting and advertising purposes, they have to disclose that. Users are always signed into Facebook but they still have

So sad. Obviously reddit asked them to keep in check and reddit itself doesn't have technology to help WSB moderate itself. Just one more example why decentralization is actually the future of all content/social platforms. Central

This happens frequently. Happened last week too. Mostly to remove bots/shills. Will likely come back soon.

I mean arkk has massive credibility given their recent etf performance. What is your credibility and why should we trust you? Easy to criticize but tough to come up with well thought out ideas (even if you don't agree with them).

This is what happens when you go spend too much time on a topic and start believing every remote possibility to bring life to your conclusion. So many unlikely things have to happen for this to work - US $ cash completely phased out, everyo

Why not just pay $30/yr to get access to all the features which Google Photos (and other Google services) offer? I know $30 is not the same everywhere but if you are in US (and assuming you are in tech given you are on HN), you'd

If you feel strongly about it, you would do something about it. Least of it being working with your company on looking for alternatives to Macs.

Apple is doing well because a lot of users continue to buy their products. And if people themselves don't find their policies egregious then so be it. One can't blame Apple for choosing the path it did. And this is not the first t

Are you using an iPhone or Mac? If yes, why don't you start with yourself. Apple exists because consumers love and buy their products - irrespective of their policy decisions.

"Liberate" is different from "Liberate HKers". Please make the topic headline more accurate. And it is obvious why Apple will not allow this in China/HK.

Using 1 example and generalizing is literally what I am arguing against in my comment above.

by fwiwm2c 6y ago
Don't generalize. Give strong arguments vs. only relaying your own experience. Otherwise, you are falling into a trap you yourself laid out in point #3 yourself. Question is whether most Indians who come to US for work are actually upp

Given how these companies think, AT&T's solution to solve this might be to slow down 4G vs. improving 5G speeds :-)

Fine - you might be ok to pay it. But think about 100s of millions of users who aren't ok to pay for it. Now they don't have much choice since Apple took it away.

If it was user choice - this is fair. But a platform is making this decision for the users and in the process trying to extract value.

Facebook is literally saying that their Audience Network product will see 50% reduction in revenue. That means apps will see less revenue from using AN. This is likely a pattern across apps.

I hope you realize what this means is that ads as a monetization model for apps is getting decimated. These apps will now have to explore alternate monetization models such as either making themselves paid or subscriptions. And guess what,

So as per you the largest offer for common stockholders always wins? That is definitely not true since there are other considerations at play such as value creation post acquisition and/or strategic considerations.

Have you read the article? FB is not taking any cut from these events and giving it all over to event organizers.

For a new student graduating from undergrad or grad course, the timing works out quite well - especially given the OPT period. Many times, you will notice that a startup literally doesn't hire a candidate from another country but hires

This hurts folks from non STEM fields who are also entitled to H1-B visas..

by fwiwm2c 10y ago
Yes - everyone has similar odds. But if you are a large outsourcing company such as TCS (which has 350k+ employees), you would simply file a lot of H1-B applications to secure the maximum number of visas. And since the number of visas are l

That is a fair point - agree that there is no clear threshold on the "quality" of education provided by various universities. Thus admissions into the lower rung of universities is quite easy which can be exploited. I didn't

Author here. Though IBM hasn't officially confirmed this themselves as they have stopped calling out the number of employees in each of their countries, but there have been several pieces out there corroborating the size of its Indian
