Those are all decent use cases, but they could all be solved without the use of a personal smartphone (Which if we want to dive deeper would mean that we are now basing education on a class divide given most poor children likely wouldn&#x27

I think the problem isn't so much the technology, maybe it is just our general teaching methodology. I feel like in US schools we don't allow much room for self-learning inside the school itself, every class has a teacher and less

Thanks for your generalization, but I'm actually here for constructive discussion and not personal attacks. My question is how many kids are actually going to do that? And what justifies them to be the judge of whether what the teacher

But would these supposed kids with "more potential" realize that potential given access to a smartphone during the time when they are being educated? I fail to see the use of a communications/entertainment device in a classro

Yes, exactly. Click-throughs are great and easily measurable, but showing a product name/image in the context of a user seeking content has value in itself.

I would agree with this, but it isn't even just straight ads. Think about something like Netflix - the $10 a month subscription is nothing to the rich person, so if they don't use it or use it for one or two shows they don't

In case you don’t know, I believe Apple lets you do this for free now.

I agree, I think there is a level where this is true, and it is at the absolute bottom (like $15 nightstand level), but if you move slightly up from those "lines" the build is a bit better. No, you aren't going to hand them d

I agree on quality, but I am surprised that the TV industry hasn't evolved yet beyond typical 30 second commercial spots. Maybe we haven't hit critical mass of people ditching cable TV - the likely culprit being sports. With YouTu

I get your point, but I have seen bikes dumped in the middle of the sidewalk. It would be nice if the bike share companies gave a discount or something for "friendly" parking. Like you take a photo of the bike's parking spot

Yeah, this is the confusing part for me - moving from BTC to other crypto. Also if it is based on USD price at the time of the transaction...then which one? Coinbase rates can be far different from other exchanges.

I work remote and regularly work from coffee shops where the noise level is high. I find I am quite able to block out the noise/distractions fine in that environment. I also go into the office occasionally (which is an open layout) and

Apps haven't sold themselves for a while now, unless you have a specific reason people should share you (see HQ Trivia's growth.) If you build the world's best todo app it will have zero traction without a massive marketing b

I know it first hand. Our app has an auto-renewing subscription, and they are nitpicking every little detail on it (Not letting us say "Free Trial" even though it is literally a free trial for a week, with the subscription price&#

How long? You can already do this with the existing search ads. By promoting your app through search ads you are greatly increasing your chances of getting detected by app review or the company you are cloning very quickly. Meaning you are

I think the difference comes by who is doing it. An end user doing it is their own right. A corporation bypassing another corporations monetization is something they should be permitted to deal with. They are essentially gaining a competiti

The input lag on the latest iPad Pro is remarkably small to the point where I don't notice it anymore. The bigger problem for me is feel, a stylus on glass just doesn't feel like writing on paper. But other than that, as you said,

Yeah I have the same issue. It seems the primary key in triggering a stand hour is having your arms down at your side, or moving around a bit - so keyboard posture doesn't work out.

Yeah I was going to say, that design looked really familiar.

by jclardy 9y ago
Yes, they addressed it, but why not demonstrate it if it was actually true? As in register on camera then point it at the mask. My guess would be because it doesn't actually work.

Tethering fees made sense when the ability to tether was added to smartphones (officially.) The original "Unlimited" plan people signed up for was intended to be limited by the rate that the phone itself could use data, which was

I use it for external GPU and an external TB2 SSD raid array. The thing is, these laptops are starting at $2500, ignoring the base model integrated GPU that is just there for making the starting price attractive (although that one could ben

I'm specifically referring to iOS with the window fade. Of course the issue with it is that the user would have to notice the lack-of the effect on the fake popups (or apps trying to fake the users app icons/wallpaper) My point is

Huh? How? Those users would be entering in their passwords in the dialogs today. Adding a visual indication of a secure dialog can at least help the power users, while not changing anything for the ones that don't know the difference.

by jclardy 9y ago
Yes. I hate testing in-app purchases, I will never do it on a device I actually use because it becomes a nightmare, especially if it is a recurring subscription. Endless password prompts.

by jclardy 9y ago
With the hundreds of password dialogs that you get in iOS for various reasons, I think people would catch on pretty quickly to a new secure variant. Yeah, some people wouldn't, but that isn't a reason to leave it with the terrible

by jclardy 9y ago
It is crazy to me that this is an issue on iOS or Android, there is so much they can do to actually make it secure. For one, on iOS, just "fading out" the app view over the users homescreen wallpaper. There is no way an app can do

I think what he was saying is just move the "button" on the headphones to a button on the phone, because they are already holding it. Then the headphones can just be in a normal "audio call" mode, and the phone button tr

by jclardy 9y ago
I don't believe so, but that isn't their point. The point being that Google is tying the translation feature into these headphones to upsell them, even though it could be done without headphones at all.
