Look at his replies on Reddit. The guy is an amateur on social media and has zero idea how to properly handle PR. He was likely more happy to just be on television for his own ego rather than realize the consequences of what he was doing.

The entire piece reads as a promotion piece for people trying to evaluate Apple stock, emphasizing how Apple's design team within its corporate structure has a unique process that allows it to deliver the kind of innovations that produ

The article was clearly written before today's announcement, given its detail. This means that Apple's PR team is behind this piece, giving this reporter early access then framing the story around the touch device which is the big

The problem is most consumers don't realize what they're getting themselves into. Apple will make a profit on those who upgrade knowing better, but many won't. When grandma needs to learn how to manage storage, this is going

Exactly, almost certainly every kid now will need to teach grandma how to manage storage on her device because Apple wanted to make more money.

There is a threat though that consumer unhappiness with their device's glaring lack of storage may lead to long term problems for Apple in 3 years from now. It's short term gain for long term pain to the quality of the brand.

Ditto on Force Touch for text selection. That's a huge improvement if done well.

The problem is that 16GB is seriously no longer enough local storage given the phone's 4k video and mini-video photos. There's no doubt that Apple's greed here will significantly boost their short term profits, but in this ca

Given memory is so cheap it's the other way around. The 64GB and 128GB models are what allow Apple to enjoy such healthy margins on smartphone sales compared to other competitors. Keeping the base model at 16GB is going to cause many

Given it's one of the largest companies in the world, they deserve some slack. Their story against Microsoft over the last decade has been nothing short but astonishing. No one could have predicted the dominance they have now in year

Intuit has a basketball court and an entire building with random crap everywhere dedicated to "inspiring" employees. It's a symbol of Silicon Valley excess better than anything put on television by HBO. Especially since th

This is one of those few tutorials where you truly learn more from just reading through it than you do from seeing the code. Excellent material!

The biggest problem I see emerging with Academia is the rise of administrative spending. Per-student administrative spending relative to academic spending in universities has exploded. Those in charge of University budgets are grossly exp

A lot of Netflix's success comes from finding great, unknown movies and allowing you to discover them. They're great for Netflix because they're cheap for them and provide high value. When Netflix users only decide what movi

It might partially be due to how it makes the list of good movies look bigger than it really is.

That was a really, really good read. It's worth highlighting the section where they describe the four conditions where unstructured groups grow effective: 1) It is task oriented. Its function is very narrow and very specific, like put

Implementing SQL views is not exactly trivial if you are operating under an existing Ruby on Rails app. I suspect most RoR developers don't use SQL views unless they absolutely need to for a certain query that's heavy on performa

Opinions about the "men's rights movement" and its veracity very, I understand that. I only referenced it because it was an example I encountered where there is a clear effort to make the article's central theme critici

Wikipedia is actually falling victim to this. Some articles now show noticeable bias (e.g. compare the "Men's Rights 'movement'" article to "Women's Rights"). On many pages, particularly gender rela

You're completely right that the problem comes from being trapped inside the browser's VM. Anyone building a highly interactive single page Javascript app definitely has their work cut out for them. It's funny, but in some w

Where do you think the most successful web apps (like Slack recently) are emerging? From the SV echo chamber. To be a talented full-stack web application developer for a successful consumer facing app, you sort of need to have an obsessi

Some people argue web developers have it harder than iOS developers. In fact, good full-stack web developers arguably need learn more about technologies in a faster period of time than many other specialties within software. Why? Because

Rails may not scale well, but it's incredibly fast for pumping out CRUD apps. I've seen noobies in Rails move much faster than Node.js projects. Likewise I'm sure someone has seen the opposite. I'm not here to tell you

Don't confuse bad news with bad traffic or bad metrics. I'm willing to be Reddit has seen far more traffic benefits from their "scandals" than they may have ever lost due to "boycotts" of them allowing sometni

Once you use it, you'll be amazed at how behind the times Reddit is. The main improvement is loading all the images on one page, rather than needing to click and read each individually. RES has had this feature for years, it blows my

Almost reminds me of the Silk Road, and the move towards decentralized markets. Someone needs to make a decentralized reddit where anyone can go wherever they wish easily, and no one is tasked with serious governance issues -- let each sub
