I know this article is explicitly from a creator's perspective, but as most people reading it will be backers, I wanted to chime in. Specifically, it seemed to me that many of the features that made IGG appealing to the author are thin

If you're interested, 2018 statistics show Android's share of the smartphone space as 54% in the US, 73% in Europe, and 88% globally, all above the 40% threshold.

In general, the US maintains unofficial diplomatic relations with Taiwan, which means that although the US does not officially recognize the government of Taiwan, it is subject to different tariffs than those imposed on China. Similarly, ta

The bias the parent refers to is implicit, I believe, in the selection of information to convey. That is, the choice of which columns and rows to include in the graph in the first place. They could have included a row for "Open platfor

I think the parent was implicitly referring to smartphone platforms. Certainly Linux is both the most open and most private option for general computing, which is probably why the parent was lamenting the fact that privacy and openness (in

I would also agree that in general, there is certainly room to grow in dataset discovery. However, that will require a drastic improvement in the metadata associated with many (most?) datasets, which I think is probably a large contributor

Yikes, talk about poor timing [0]! Of course, the proposal [1] was submitted at the beginning of August before this was available, but it must still be a bit of a gut check for the research team. Hopefully they can figure out a way to injec

I'm a little surprised they didn't even bother to ask if anyone stopped using FB (i.e. "deleted their account") completely. "Deleting the app from your phone" is a pretty poor proxy for "I reduced usage

It's difficult to estimate what value the described systems add to a location, but in the grand scheme of a location's expenses, even $600/mo is a drop in the bucket. Align those contracts with the lease on the building itsel

My impression from reading the article was that this wasn't a choice of a gao tree monoculture over better methods, but actually a choice between this monoculture and widespread slash-and-burn [0]. See also, [1]. It may not be the be

It's possible that they may be able to grant exceptions on a case-by-case basis; this is strictly based on my lawyer's interpretation of the clearance process. In general, the theory is that I could potentially have travelled to I

The difficulty level will vary based on how much paperwork you have already (for proving citizenship during your jus sanguinis claim). I had to submit FOIA requests for records going back to the 1950's, as well as retaining a lawyer.

German citizenship can be passed jus sanguinis , which doesn't conflict with US requirements based on jus soli . Thus, a child born in the US to German parents is eligible for citizenship in both countries. This bypasses both countri

I understand this position, but I still would say that it's muddying the semantic waters a bit. If you had "prejudice plus power" against someone in the LGBTQ community, would that also be called racism? In general, I think t

I think the argument would be more along the lines of, "I marginally dislike the concept that I no longer own these products, but I absolutely hate the other team, which therefore deserves my attention to a much greater degree."

My cynical side says that this is a feature, not a bug - a litmus test to see whether or not the selected city will be politically pliable under Amazon's significant financial leverage. Any city that can't pass (or force through)
