iOS thrived on Apps, Apps built by talented developers for whom the Mac is the platform of choice. A lot of MacOs' appeal comes from great 3rd party apps as well, the first party stuff on iOS and MacOs is mostly a commodity. In the lon

> You can't build an app for iOS or OSX on a Windows or a Linux machine Well actually you can, when using something like Xamarin which has worked pretty well for our company. Sure, somewhere you need a Mac build machine, but that ca

typical HN naysayer, if Apple did this everyone would be raving about it. Maybe you missed that the screen also includes a Wacom digitizer ? Compare the price to a 27" Wacom Cintiq and it might make more sense to you. Other than that

it is amazing to me that this guy earned 20k euros in finland as a developer and went on to be a bus driver where he earned more. He also talked about how he got fired for not handing in weekly reports..Someone with his skills should be abl

Screwing up once happens, even if it shouldn't. Doing it twice will seriously shatter peoples trust in these devices and make them think twice before purchasing a new Samsung phone again. Samsung is a behemoth but this can really hurt

But isn't the idea that you will make more money from the business accounts as opposed to ads ?

I am usually not someone who falls into the "what do they need so many people for, it should be simple"-trap but I was still surprised to learn that Lyft has 400 engineers and Twilio has around 300 too. I am note sure they would b

I have worked from home for 5 years and now work in an open plan office and enjoy it more honestly. I don't really feel less productive and i certianly feel less alone when i can chat to coworkers from time to time or discuss developme

Just last week i heard a talk at a conference about this very topic because many of these smart IoT devices have horrible software and shoddy security practices and are basically never checked by their owners, while having quite powerful so

Maybe it's Berlin, but it's pretty common to wait for 2 months for many basics things, if they take on new patients at all.

In Germany, 360 EUR or 16% of my salary goes to public healthcare and i still have to wait for weeks/months for the most basic appointments. Really makes me want to switch to private even though i think it will be worse in the long run

I just tested this service with a full blown 3D Development Environment like Unity3d using an AWS Instance and it works amazingly well and is very responsive. Through Amazon Gigabit connection everything installs in seconds as well. I had a

The US is kind of at a disadvantage for this because distances are so huge, but in smaller european countries it's not uncommon to get <20ms pings to gameservers around the country if you have a decent broadband connection.

Really cool stuff, i have just read the article that inspired you to do this today because i wanted to actually test it. If i understand correctly you also have a Streaming Server to install in the local network, so it's basically doin

Uber's biggest problem is the rate at which they burn cash and their $70B valuation which imo will be very hard to justify in the next 5 years. If that hype train stops getting funded, it might crash badly.

Uber is not available in Germany but when i can't get a cab i will usually resort to public transport because i mostly use a cab when i am not allowed to drive anymore or parking in that area is impossible. Also a 20 minute Taxi ride a

Kind of a Berlin problem i guess. In the places i lived before i had UnityMedia and was generally pretty happy with it. In west Berlin you have Kabel-Deutschland which is also okay (but offers only Fair Use Flats yuck), but in the east wher

Probably because Berlin's status as a tech hub is a relatively recent development and before that the city was way behind other major german cities that had strong economies for decades. DNS.NET does FTTH but they are super small compa

I just had a really weird deja-vu when reading this as i wasn't sure if i hadn't read exactly this before, but yes, this article has been on HN just a week ago. But now i see you even mentioned it in the first sentence ;)

It's not that there have never been phones without a proprietary headphone jack before right ? But it's the first time a really popular phone does it, similar to when they introduced the first iPhone. Pretty sure in a few months n

i think they wanted to specifically make sure people don't use these with wires attached. Apple HATES wires. Imagine their marketing people getting heart attacks when some people dare to post pictures of their shiny Apple hardware onli

i am pretty sure it's the end of the headphone jack, IF the wireless headphones work really well. Traditionally Bluetooth headphones have always had a few quirks and annoyances (i still love mine) so if they fixed that i believe that p
