Well, the iPhone has always been a locked down device. Every iteration of it has plugged up holes where access can get around safeguards. 1. It protects the store monopoly by guaranteeing the device will only ever load signed code from Appl

Not all targeted advertising is bad. Would you try to stop a local high school fundraiser for intelligently reaching out to the community? Or your family's local small business from advertising to the audience most likely to want to sh

I haven't seen cities like NY or SF themselves proclaiming Airbnb is evil, or bad intentioned. It's not about friction of markets here, it's about a city having the capacity to house people. If the city was just concerned abo

True, Colorado has some gorgeous backdrops, but then again, you'd also have to be into 1/2 a year of intense snowy winters.

Well, you can't just throw up condos all over the place and assume that alone fixes the problem. You have to build schools and other infrastructure changes, such as water and electricity to support the influx of a population. Activism

Very few places on the planet are as temperate and offer so many options to escape into nature as the Bay Area. I agree that something has to change, but trying to convince people that the only answer is to move away is a non-starter for th

Everyone else syndicates and usually only controls a small market. HBO is only in a few countries, for example, and all of their content ends up accessible in other areas. You can buy all of it from iTunes!

The nuance you’re missing here is that advertisers can only ask Facebook to show to such and such from high level categories. Gay Male 18-35, San Francisco, into dogs, for example. That’s it. Facebook will then bill that advertiser based on

Most of the professors I had at my university also taught part time at the community colleges. I did all 5 years at a university but I can only assume that just like community colleges, every professor is different and their quality ranges

It was cute when Netflix was only producing a few serial tv shows, but if we're headed to a world where you NEED Netflix to get access to premium content, then I'm not supportive of this future.

Interesting article, I never really thought about a disengaged manager as being incompetent. Anecdotally, at the same company I had one manager who was completely hands off and free of any actionable feedback or advice. While it felt empowe

As it's impossible for me to convince anyone in this thread of anything on this topic, I'm just freely making some points. People have already picked a side to stand on and the line has been drawn. Case in point, you've alrea

It's too easy for some of you to get excited about one giant corporation taking a rather public beating. The anti-facebook tribe is strong in the Hacker News community. Plus, what SV company wasn't a free-for-all of user data in 2

To clarify, no where in my comment did I say we should stop development for making our roads safer. Consumer accessible cars are already far more aware of the surroundings today and will continue to gain more awareness as time goes on. If y

It's fascinating that so many brilliant people in this thread can talk so casually about any single loss of life for the tech built by the very same people in this thread. I would be devastated if I learned my code ended even one perso

As an engineer who reported to Williamson, I’ve got to say I was far more intimidated by him than I ever was of Forstall. He rarely smiled in a meeting and his old school heavy handed management style always took the fun out of the work. Ho

Or they can pay with community service like any other person who can’t afford a fine. Maybe they can be forced to clean up the poo in other parts of the city.

I constantly hear how much money and time and resources SF spends on the homeless problem in this city. If you're going to take a dump on the street, litter or shoot up drugs and leave your gross needle laying around, that absolutely s

HR is many things though, and I think this article focuses solely on the HR-BP (Business Partner) role. That's the person your org/division reports to for matters of policy and disputes. Of course they will always side with manage

Ah yes, Purplefish <3. A very magical tool for us OS peeps. Not sure of the breadth of code in there though, as it seemed every org had its own way of managing its own source code. At the beginning, iPhone OS was basically a mono-repo, b

This is a terrible article. It leads with social commentary about supposed healthy amounts of content, and then goes on to describe the shake-up at LA Times because the editor got pulled into the #metoo fiasco. Harvey Weinstein arguably pro

It might not be accurate to accuse GM dealerships of not wanting to sell Bolts, and don't forget that it's a specialty, low-production vehicle, either way you slice it. Specialty cars are usually handled by one person in a dealers

This is indeed an over simplification of city life vs. country life. Small town people understand the value of government, they just don't get to enjoy in its prosperity the way cities do. If you're in a small town, good luck gett

While this is true, my friend said they cut back everyone’s hours so they bring home the same pay at the end of the week. Might be worth calling that out if it’s true across the board and not just his store.

My friend who works in Apple Hardware had a competing offer from Nvidia. They both offered the same pay and an expectation that you will work nights and weekends, but apparently a followup team lunch at Nvidia didn't go well and he too
