Not my area but I get the impression Amazon has done a lot of both of what the above two posts call "good" unprofitability and "bad" unprofitability.

They might have. Does seem like they'd be priming themselves for backlash if that were confirmed.

At WWDC 2018, Apple announced that Office, Photoshop, and several other big apps would be coming to/back to the Mac App Store. I found this really interesting because I wondered what had changed, but the companies involved have been ti

Not so well for Safari and IE users.

I've always figured it had most to do with keeping responsiveness high and predictable.

In the same way that there's a vast moral gap between causing a creature to panic and causing a kernel to panic, I feel like the word "distress" is acting more evocatively than is necessarily intended here. (But I'm no b

I take that to mean that VP8 works only in WebRTC contexts, i.e. you can't click a VP8 video embedded as normal in an HTML document and have it play. But I haven't tested it myself.

Many (I'd guess most, but I have nothing but anecdotal experience to base it on) people have a non-Apple-hosted email account tied to their Apple ID. Sure, in some cases if someone's iCloud account is compromised, their non-Appl

Do you think at some point you might have accumulated enough of them that you'll feel more willing to sell/give away some of them?

That could have problems itself if the filesystem action succeeded but then the SQLite commit failed. Transactionality is hard!

Yep. Just fyi, for those devices that are managed with an MDM solution, they've recently added the ability to delay upgrading for 90 days: https://appleinsider.com/articles/18/02/01/it-pros-will-be

To add to the other good answers here: I love its succinctness. The syntax itself is succinct (but still extremely readable) and the pervasive availability of functional-style methods (map/filter/reduce/etc) make it easier to

I've gotten the impression (and that's all it is, could be totally wrong) that Apple's a little hesitant to go all in until ABI stability arrives in Swift 5. Even after that, I doubt they'll do much rewriting of old stuf

Apple is smart to focus in the health niche as there are no other valid reasons an average person would ever need a smart watch in their life. Imagine how nice notifications (and the ability to respond if necessary) are for people who wor

I don't believe you can even get to the pretty watch with swappable faces part without an iPhone to activate it. It's very definitely only for iPhone users — as of now, at least.

This is why I've never really found AirPower to be that compelling of a product, even though I buy lots of Apple stuff. Yeah, it's a pretty nifty technological thing (apparently too nifty!) but … why should I care? I nearly never

It's surprising to me that an easy-to-use set of scripts to do this for you hasn't popped up (to my knowledge). When Apple initially offered the "zero cost but you have to rebuild every week" solution, I was sure there&#

Should my children wait a year or more to have a specialist examine a chronic skin condition that thus far cannot be treated and causes severe itching? That sucks for there to be long waits, but the alternative being evaluated (the USA&#x

Remember a year ago when the notch was going to be Apple's downfall? I don't think I've seen a single person mention it being on the phones announced today.

Other than perhaps through social media (one more reason to consider "going dark" while job hunting, I suppose), how would any potential employer know your wife was expecting?

I get the feeling that droughts have happened before, are happening now, and will happen again; and we are just not able as humans to control the climate. Great! Hope you're not wrong. The vast majority of people who are in the best

I'm not a vegetarian, but if I was one, I would hope to have the good taste not to pretend I am eating meat when I am not. There's a lot to be said for food that's "true to itself", but burgers are really good, pe

Thank you, that's exactly what I was trying to get at. Maybe it's just the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon but I feel like I'm seeing the exact phrase "remember when it was called global warming?" a lot lately and I'

"(remember when it was called global warming?)" I keep seeing this phrase lately. What does it mean? [To clarify, I'm asking about why people keep saying "remember when it was called…" as though it proves some poi

The vast majority of people I know (Texas) couldn't live a productive life without a car. Some people certainly could but not most. Meat, though, they could definitely do without—and for most of them it'd be healthier.
