Is there a particular battle you think can be won?

So your response is that it's not a problem in tech because it's a problem elsewhere? Why are you defending sexism?
303.
by gress 12y ago
You have demonstrated that nobody can reasonably claim that sexism in tech is not a problem.

by gress 12y ago
So it's ok for you to use demeaning language towards women, but not ok for them to consider that sexist?

How can you simultaneously promote respect while ignoring disrespectful behavior?

Are you really defending the idea that the Tetris is written in basic? Even the author says it's written in assembler. It's just the title that is misleading.

> Let people have controls over their data back again... I think you're confused about iCloud. People do have controls over their data, and no rights are denigrated. Perhaps you are mistaking it for Google, or Facebook where there

False title. The Tetris is not written in basic. It's written in Assembler, and then basic is used to load the binary into memory.

You said originally: > The fact that the Apple Watch can't be relied on to remain useful for even a single 24 hour day... This statement is false. Apple's 18 hour battery claim clearly supports that, because the vast majority o

You talk as though earning a lot of money was just a lifestyle choice. The problem is that as income inequality increases, not earning enough money becomes career limiting in itself, regardless of what you would like to do in your career.

These are good questions to which the answer 'the employer gets to be the judge' doesn't seem adequate. But yes, I agree that there is a problem with the current diffuse responsibility that creates terrible incentives for eve

But it will take much less attention to process them.

Actually you've walked back some of your hyperbole. The fact is that battery life that satisfies the needs of the vast majority of users cannot reasonably be called 'extremely short'. The Apple watch can clearly be relied on

The problem here is that the law also applies to the officer's behavior, and intent matters. The officer requires probable cause for pulling the person over. The illegal turn is not the probable cause that the officer is using. The

Do you think that business owners should be allowed to fire people for coming in to work under the influence of other prescription medications?

You mean that if you want the features of Apple software, you need to use apple hardware?

Comparing battery life with other wristbands that have very different functionality doesn't mean much. By that measure, Android wear devices have infinitesimal battery life compared to a Rolex Oyster perpetual. For what it is, the App

I think you are being extremely unrealistic about how much configuration regular users are willing or able to do.

Have you seen what happens when AWS goes down? It does, and will happen. Therefore by your measure it and all the startups that use it are naive and dangerous.

It won't download 100GB of photos to your devices. Instead it will download only the thumbnails and intelligently download the photos as needed.

How does this lock you in? Your photos are all still on your Mac filesystem.

Part of learning to deal with difficult emotional situations is having a gradient of intensity that allows one to build confidence rather than being overwhelmed or crushed. Teenagers already do everything they can to moderate this. And plen

You're right that it's not suitable for sleep tracking. But 'extremely short' is a gross mischaracterization.

It's not extremely short. This reviewer is an exception.

Google should stop running its server side Ad-Injectors before they complain about the client side ones.

This is technically true, but I think you're exaggerating the effects of some of the choices vs others. For example, the difference in camera quality between the iPhone 6 and 6+ is minimal. Yes, if you are obsessed with 'the best

How do you account for the failure of past civilizations? What is different this time? I'm all for optimism, but optimism and ignoring problems are very different things.

I note that you have no response to this.

It's a fact. But it is not an argument. It is also not good if it leads to a major castrophy. The concern is not that the good outcomes don't currently exist. The concern is that the good outcomes are unsustainable because we are

I'll concede that the iPad line is weird, but I just don't agree with the pattern you are trying to make for the rest of them. I don't agree that 2 sizes of iPhone is any different from 2 sizes of laptop or two sizes of iPad.
