You do realize that this attitude will lead to ignoring the one time when there is real danger. Is that what you want?

> Has there never, ever been a better time to be alive as a human? Self evidently, yes. It's the best time to be alive right now. Can we stop saying this as though it's some kind of argument. It's not. Many people are dia

Confusing to people actually buying MacBooks, or just to those writing about them? Also even if the current lineup is not perfectly orthogonal because the purpose of the Air is less clear than it used to be, this has happened before when ne

Where does jobs say that philanthropy is done by someone who is lesser than jobs?

The first two of those statements do seem to be implied by the quote from Jobs, but the third seems like something you made up. What part of the quote justifies it?

> he called out that caring as beneath him. Sorry - you have made this up out of whole cloth. It's not what he said, and not a reasonable inference. By calling Gates unimaginative Jobs was referring to the fact that he didn't h

This is a false dichotomy. Bill Gates made his fortune and then retired before becoming a philantropist. Steve Jobs was still hard at work on building his company until a few months before he died. Who knows what he would have done if he

Nobody is saying that depression is ascientific. The context of the thread was that chemical imbalance theories are ascientific.

Seriously - how is this downvoted by anyone other than a zealot? I am merely explaining how it could be considered a legal issue in some places. Not passing judgement on whether it should be.

If these effects are strong enough to undermine Piketty's hypothesis then it is incumbent upon Rognlie to run the numbers and show that they do otherwise it's just more fud.

They knowingly bypassed a security policy set by the user. That's classed as computer misuse in many jurisdictions.

Otherwise known as an ad hominem argument.

by gress 12y ago
You were arguing that the absence of a blood test doesn't necessarily undermine chemical imbalance theories because of the complexity of the systems involved.

by gress 12y ago
Experienced people seem fast at solving problems because they have seen similar solutions before. Not necessarily because they have a faster mind. It's a mistake to assume that because someone is better than you at something, you are

That's fair - I'm convinced.

Renting involves making regular payments. This is a false analogy.

All this is not relevant to the fact that there is no evidence for depression being caused by a chemical imbalance.

Did I say it was censorship? I think the original post is misguided, but it is true that Apple withholds press access from outlets that do things it doesn't like.

Android is not perceived as the leading brand. Apple is, with Samsung in second place.

Are you talking about hatred towards apple? Pick any positive article about Apple on the web with a comments section. You will see that the comments are filled with hateful anti-Apple invective.

Because the press doesn't make hit pieces about brands that are not perceived as the leader to be toppled.

by gress 12y ago
This piece ignores the obvious. These people aren't afraid of their own criticisms of Apple. They are afraid that their criticisms will be magnified and distorted by the press and used as the basis of hit-pieces, and that this will
