Parents also get tax credits from govt. This is not companies responsibly but governments to control population

It's also a pretty selfish take to not talk about the other sides argument.

That's a lame argument. To counter parents would bring their entire family for dinners at my company? Who did it benefit more ?

Would parents go and help other orphans and volunteer for daycare? Why stop at your own kids ?

This wasn't a new event that affected only parents. Bit the companies rushed to provide benefits to parents because that helps them in their talent branding and being politically correct Decision makers are also most likely parents an

I'm sure this is unpopular opinion. My kids are grown up now and I can relate to both sides. But what's wrong is that companies focus on benefits that only help in their talent branding and being politically correct. Me having kid

For me having those stop signs and signals show up in navigation is big plus for Apple maps. I have a pixel phone but if I'm driving with my spouse I always use her apple maps

Maybe a naive question but why doesn't Apple take 30% commission on my Robinhood trades. And how is that exchange of money for stock, digital currency different from apps like Fortnite
101.
by gandutraveler 6y ago
Or how about let users buy gift card or apps local currency(trading app). Which could then be used for anything within the app or can be transferred. That way it's no longer a purchase of digital good buy exchange of currency

What stops digital only apps like fortnite to start selling some physical good like t-shirt at a premium price and bypass a Apple's 30% fee?

Most of the tracking systems require enterprise integrations and need to support migration from other platforms.

Totally agree. There are company policies which are enforced across teams like trust, safety privacy either via process or reviews. I haven't seen any large tech companies having policies/safeguards on how the revenue is made. In

In India I've seen bias against different groups, regions, religions, languages etc. in hiring, promotions. The only difference is that everyone has bias against everyone to a level that one can't point out which group is more bia

On top of background device data and analytics there is lot of sensetive user data shared on the app for which can be used to target certain audience. Social engineering this data and joining it with other apps(which can have security holes

Does webrtc also work on native Android iOS apps ?

I would be happy to switch over to app only if it actually worked. The UX is so horrible for expanding collapsing threads. If I click on a deep link I have to press back n times to reach the landing post for the deep link.

Don't over-optimize. I work for a large tech company and I see many developers make the mistake to over design/architect solutions prematurely, setup meetings with colleagues to discuss how the solution could be leveraged by other

Why is the growth rate with time faster in every other country except China ?

The other day I was helping friend with an essay and i realized how 12 years in software programming has changed my writing style. Now it seems very awkward to think and write in long paragraphs. It feels more natural to use bullet points f
