This has always been an interesting question. You can look at luck as someone's luck in particular, or people's luck in general. The odds that any one person at a craps table rolls a 7 first are low, but the odds that someone at t

This is exactly right. You have to get creative sometimes. I was excited as a kid when I was able to get integral(cos(x^(1/2))) - literally jumping up and down.

Sleep is one of those things that you don't really notice when it gets better. You feel good, you feel more energetic, you feel all the benefits that are well known, but you don't notice. You only notice it when you go back to shi

Correct me if I am wrong, but you can still see the URL you navigate to when using https, is that not correct? Once the connection is established you can't see the traffic between you and the URL. Is my understanding correct?

This is a great idea. I hope someone at Apple is reading. Makes perfect sense, they don't need to make money on it, just an alternative to google.

To everyone saying they are OK with this because they don't watch sports: I think the whole point of OPs comment was that if you do like sports this isn't for you, and that's true. It really is one of the only things missing

Thanks for this comment. It's a nice example of how how to think critically as you read an article - even a decent quality article. To your point - I agree. Taubes is a technical guy - I've read a couple of his books and I think t

I think he said that at best you could say "Assembled in the USA", don't think he was arguing that piece of it.

Maybe you're right, but for me it was a little jarring at first. Little things like that add up - and it's nice when they are just completely out of the way. FWIW I don't have the issue you reported, I can click anywhere on t

The trackpad is what kills me. On the Mac, the non-mechanical touchpad is so efficient, at least as a pointing device can be. It's spacious, I don't get erroneous output, and most importantly, you get a uniform click no matter whe

Jumping to the conclusion that everything a company does is calculated and delibarate is a mistake I see a lot of people make, but in this case it’s accurate. In a business that operates at a scale of 100s of thousands if not millions of bo

I asked some big wig about this and his response was basically, population is always growing plus inflation. Guess when looked at through that lease it makes some sense, overall agree with your sentiment. That said, with a giant pile of cas

Even if this comment isn’t what Apple should do, it’s a very salient point and worth considering doing at least some analysis to see which approach is better when making this decision for yourself. Thanks, will incorporate into my list of s

Definitely appreciate that you put design in quotes - we aren't really designed in the way that most people think about the word. My understanding is more like things are tried until something sticks. Maybe internal testicles would hav

You know, there are a lot of cool things I've learned that I wouldn't have learned if reposts were strictly controlled. I would even hypothesis that an ideal web community in the vein of reddit or HN is not completely void of repo

This may not be the proper place to ask - but I'm generally disconnected from the news cycle outside of tech and sports, mainly because I don't know of any good, objective news sources. Is there anything that you or anyone else on

You know, I’ve always felt that the Bay Area, ironically, has a disproportionate number of these people. I’m from LA, but live here in the bay, and people often will tell me how fake Angelinos are. For my perspective, people in LA might be

I'm such a cynic these days. When I see an article like this, all I can think of is that this is the angle the FBs and Googles of the world will use to give Apple it's own share of social responsibility problems. Hey, yes, we coll

>>> They also derived an immense amount of value from the effort to move to x86, so it’s not like it was wasted. That's a good point and a reminder to me of the sunk cost fallacy.

You are right, it's definitely a possibility. But as an aside, when I worked as Zenefits, we hired irresponsibly, but the intentions weren't to be deceptive; the mistake was thinking that the hockey stick curve would climb forever

Steve Jobs mentioned in interviews what a hell of a job his teams did in the initial change to x86 and the immense work it required. I wonder what he'd say in this scenario. Not saying "Steve Jobs would have NEVER allowed this app
