I feel it’s because of network effects as well as inability to steal IP easily. Network effects purely because once you have enough mass of people on board, you can easily attract more people and it is easy enough to distinguish yourself fr

Curate the hell out of who you follow. Keep politics an arms length away if it impacts you. Use lists to organise who you follow based on a common theme. Makes twitter a gold mine of information if you know how to really mine it. Don’t le

Most forums on the internet are like that and it’s not exactly unexpected because people who care about writing something in an Internet forum will also be pedantic about what they want. This forum is no exception (you can pretty much see t

Revenue generated from charging for products such as this would be probably chump change for Google. Google is a mass market company thus chump change is irrelevant to them. Plus they are used to operating at a scale by providing products f

It’s not an issue if your email is primarily for newsletters, bills and other one way updates (where you are not frequently conversing back). You’ll rarely have to create an actual functioning alias in those cases because a catch-all would

There is a central provider called NPCI (National Payments Corporation of India). They run the entire network and control who gets on or not. Banks are used as the integration point because UPI necessitated a bank account to run out of. Sin

I believe they store some data in your iCloud account. Uber used to do this too. The only way to get rid of it is to sign out and then again explicitly ask to delete account data on this device, then uninstall and reinstall to use the servi

Tragedy of the commons. If 99 people will endlessly argue with you and 1 is rational, you'd just do a blanket ban on giving explanations. I've frequently found that you just need to get people started and their rant will probably

Only for people like us, technically inclined and on this forum and probably those who saw Google being born and innovate its way to the top of the market. Most of the people I know find google's results insanely useful. It's no l

You just sign out and say Yes when the phone asks to disable “Find My iPhone” during the process. It’s not a convoluted process at all.

I am in the same boat. Content is so affordable and accessible these days that I don’t understand why people get pissed about it. Part of the reason, I feel, is that there’s so much abundance of content and stuff that choosing becomes impos

This is a little ambiguous. How is “revenue” defined? Is it only purchases made directly by users or does it also include ad revenue? If former, then the comparison is useless because vast majority of users on android are using ad-funded ap

Twitter reopened my service’s account after two months when I refused to hand over my mobile number. Pretty much every single service immediately bans me upon account creation if I don’t hand over my mobile number. Instagram banned me for “

Telecom companies manage to piss off people everywhere. Here in India, before 2016 and before Jio, operators used to sell plans like this - Rs 749 per month with FREE 1GB of data and 750 mins of FREE calling and 100 mins of FREE roaming. Ai

Things have changed with newer companies especially those which are building and selling their own products. Though work life balance is still poor but at least people are not saying yes to everything just to appease.

Oh companies have become smarter about it! Even the scammers I suspect! Many won’t accept + in the email address and I think now it’s well known enough that most scammers will run a regex to detect and remove the + sign. Useful workaround i

That’s more of a fault on behalf of the devs though. You can pick any platform and you’ll find devs who’ll have something to complain about.

My mother had that exact same experience with her Nexus 5x. Things kept on shuffling every 6 months. Ever since I’ve got her on iOS, she’s been happy and I’ve been happy. I don’t even have to ask her to update to the latest iOS. She does it

If you need strong guarantees of isolation and if every user has their own dedicated installation. If you are a general service where isolation is enforced at the application level then just deploy straight away. Docker is useful when you d

This is something I've been wishing for too! Apple does have this differentiation in permissions but it leaves it to the developers to ask for and respect. This permission should be akin to the location permission - enforced and diff
