> Apple has a long history of favoring the cutting edge over the tried and true. This is categorically false. Apple has always taken ideas poorly executed by other companies, learned from their mistakes, and shipped a vastly improved pro

Making your own tools is a great learning experience but probably not the best idea for production processes.

The government won't take any antitrust action because its enforcement capabilities against corporations have been eviscerated. If the same people who prosecuted Microsoft were in charge today, there would be active lawsuits against AL

What's preposterous about the wall? It's not useful but plenty of far more expensive government projects are useless (e.g. Joint Strike Fighter etc.) But I see people opposing the wall more than the Joint Strike Fighter.

This is not a big deal. It will get saved with a special bill that will pass 99-0, Rand Paul will probably abstain.

You can't know that it's not a bubble. Maybe it is and crashes tomorrow. Maybe it is and crashes in a year. Maybe that crash brings it back to fundamentals but that price is still higher than it is today. If you could perfectly pr

She likes holding him instead of fiddling with a remote. Overall the privacy issue is just not at the bottom but not anywhere near the top of our priorities.

That's also a tradeoff I'm not willing to make. I could easily build her a system that lets her play music and podcasts by voice. However it would take tens of hours. That's time I'm simply not willing to divert from oth

I have one. Do I like the privacy aspect? No. But my wife breastfeeds our baby for 3 hours a day and she needs music and audiobooks that she can control without using her hands. It's a simple trade off. My privacy is worth something bu

"Doing what they were programmed to do" isn't really satisfying when nobody knows what the program is. When a Google self driving car stops suddenly, nobody can say "why." So nobody can know if and how a neural netw

I love my BigCo comp package, but to tell you the truth, I would not go to a startup for a 50% raise, because the best part of working for the BigCo is that my code ships to tens of millions of people, and I see it on the service dashboard.

It's a fully intentional loophole. You can still ban convicted criminals from employment. The law is trying to make sure that you do so after meeting the person, interviewing them, and convincing yourself that you want to hire them. Th

It can't really wait, because I bet someone wants this now, and shouldn't get it from public coffers.

Is "democracy" really an unalloyed good now that the Internet has exposed many of the unpatched firmware vulnerabilities in the human mind?

Investing in children isn't a waste but getting a graduate degree to do it is.

Sure, but I don't think any insurance should ever pay for this.

In JFK's first primary election one of his opponents was one Joseph Russo. JFK's father Joe hired another guy named Joseph Russo to run and split the vote. Dirty trick but it didn't end up mattering as the two Russos combined

I've never upgraded Windows before the first Service Pack, and now Mac users are realizing that their claims that "Mac is different" were just cultish delusion. Don't rush OS upgrades!

$257 million? Who are the morons keeping this hamster wheel spinning?

Yeah, but your needs aren't the only needs. Would you want to restrict voting in your jurisdiction to only homeowners?

It's because Uber is a massive company which had a massive impact on transportation and employment while simultaneously being a complete inferno of unethical and illegal behavior internally and externally. It is simply a lot of news.

The way this works is that the law (lawmakers, courts, police) take a dim view of loopholes, as it's a threat to their own power. So they sit down and decide whhether you were in compliance with the spirit of the law and write laws in

If the conversation is "sensitive" because you are trying to avoid recording evidence of your illegal activity, then yes, it's illegal.

It's your "within reason" where all the debate lies.

Read "Chickenshit" and "The Divide." Starting with the Obama administration and definitely continuing there is effectively no law for the sufficiently rich. It makes no sense for Uber to worry about laws.
