The argument I've seen made for crating from an evolutionary-history perspective is that dogs are den animals -- they actively like having a small nook that they can feel safe in, where they're comfortable and nothing can sneak up

I do have fond memories of wasting a lot of time playing the original of this on my PalmPilot, so good job there.

I don't think that would work. The thirteenth is the amendment which prohibits slavery and involuntary servitude, both of which would only apply if a company was forcibly stopping you from leaving a job.

The National Labor Relations Act creates a right to collective bargaining for private sector employees. It's not a fundamental constitutional right, but it is a right. I've seen arguments about it being impossible for the state

I think there's a lot of edge cases, and just spinning up an entire new data container for iOS Chrome and launching a web app inside it would probably make Chrome very confused . (It wouldn't know to hide its normal tab/brow

I assume you mean the "read data from other web apps" part. That'd be because there's (presumably) not a system-level way to launch a third-party browser in "web app mode", with all data siloed off per-PWA. Thu

It's been quite a long time (like, 20 years), but I think the choices were something like "take it for yourself", "put it in the register", "leave it on the counter", and "chase the customer down&quot

I mean, from the perspective of the manager, you really don't want an employee who's going to run out of the store to return an amount of money that won't matter to the customer. One can understand a peculiar value system,

I took one once (at iZod, I think), which included some tripwire questions. The manager said afterwards that e.g. if you saw "a customer left $0.02 in change on the counter when they left the store, what do you do?" and you picked

I'm fine with a coding test, and okay with whiteboarding / live-coding so long as people are accepting of it just being roughing-out the code rather than expecting to produce something polished... but 5 hours of it? That's

The myth of patents is that some inventor working in their garage comes up with a genius invention, patents it, and then can leverage that patent-granted period of exclusivity into a thriving business. Hard work and smarts translating direc

It looks fine, and I guess it's going for a theme, but I actively disagree with removing the color from links. Making a link and underlined text completely indistinguishable is a bad idea for usability. That alone makes this something

There's a reason I said "unhindered monetization" -- imagine what Spotify would be doing if there wasn't a major podcast directory service outside of their control.

The interesting thing about the distributed RSS nature of podcasts is that Apple let it happen. The entire podcast ecosystem rests upon the shoulders of Apple's podcast directory, which Apple has been freely hosting and allowing everyo

I haven't used the Vision Pro, so I can't say how well it works in practice... but with macOS 14 this year they redid their screen sharing app to, presumably, use whatever technology is underlying the Vision Pro display-sharing. I

> And how could Apple force them to pay? Apple has structured this so that you still need an Apple developer account to release an app (because apps still have to be notarized to run on iOS regardless of where you download them, which is

The source would be: https://developer.apple.com/support/core-technology-fee/ If you've seen people say updates cost money, it's because an update counts as another installation of the app. But because

by kemayo 3y ago
Regarding install-bombing, that'd actually be pretty difficult to do. What counts for the fees is one install per-user (I think per-Apple-account, based on how it's worded) per-year. It's not per-device, multiple installation

You do have the choice to not target an Apple platform. There's lots of apps that're exclusive to Android out there. I don't like this fee model, but let's not pretend Android doesn't exist.

It's the lifetime of the product, not the lifetime of the purchaser -- as long as they're updating that product, you can keep on using it. For that matter, you really can keep on using Prompt 2 for as long as you want. Someday it&

It's also not leaving the phone at the mercy of an unknowable number of future Waymo customers until it got back to the depot.

You're overthinking it; it'd just be "I found this phone". They don't need to give the backstory. Most businesses will hold onto valuable lost property for a while, on the assumption that a customer dropped somethin
