Apple is charging developers money to avoid a problem imposed by Apple themselves. To be fair, the developer subscription includes tools and documentation for Mac/iOS specific development that a price tag is fair for. But for the use c

... and downvotes without a cogent argument against. Apple is blocking users from running apps (obscure workaround aside) unless the developer pays a yearly fee. How is that not racketeering? To be clear, we’re not even talking about the Ap

99/year to not get the security warning. Maybe not worth it for free/open source/hobby projects. Can bypass it by right clicking and choosing ‘Open’ but then you have to make your users aware of that. Totally an Apple rackete

Same problem, it’s a shame because it looks like a good article, but too distracting with the layout jumping around. Not sure of a way to take a screen recording on an iPad though.

Yeah, when's the last time a bank, or indeed any other credible financial institution, did this? Does not inspire confidence at all.

As an Easter egg in a program I once wrote I added a ‘silly menu’ that programmatically took a string of words, split by space, and generated an array of menu items each parented to the previous word’s. Then in the program code I had it gen

The location is the end of some tidal flow lanes rejoining the main freeway lanes with an unusual configuration of lane markings and barriers. I drive past the spot all the time and can totally see a computer messing up here.

That argument sounds like a stretch. I would’ve thought those unit counts were instead used due to resulting in a convenient, space-efficient rectangular ‘slab’ size when packaged together: 6 pack = 2x3, 12 pack = 3x4, 18 pack = 3x6, and so

Not disagreeing with you. It would suck if Apple ever removed the slot, but it would be par for the course for them.

I think it is only intended to work with Apple’s partner carriers. I wanted to add my iPad to my AT&T data service and I could not use the built in SIM. Instead AT&T sent one for free. The iPad has a separate SIM slot and I imagine

After the whole FB Basics thing (free access to “Facebook-approved” internet) that India rightly told him to go shove, China is his shot at a consolation prize.

I had kinda thought that providing 1099 to the IRS would've already been a necessary condition of Coinbase being able to get a financial services licence, or is that not usual?

You're confusing the City of Seattle with WSDOT.

Nah, it's literally one express freeway bus. That's what's so great about Seattle public transit.

If I remember correctly it was called DoubleSpace in Windows 3.1/DOS 6.2 and then due to some patent or licencing issue was renamed (and the compression algorithm modified) to DriveSpace in Windows for Workgroups 3.11/DOS 6.22.

Do you think there really is $194B hard cash in the entire ecosystem? Or are you deriving that number from simply # of coins issued multiplied by last trade price?
