I'd tend to say that the author's stated intentions matter more than whatever headcanons you or I might come up with, but not as much as the work itself. After all, unpublished intentions like that can always be changed later if t

Insofar as the fix to the Antennagate issue was to use a case (to avoid bridging the two antennas connected to the rim of the phone with your sadly-conductive skin), it didn't really affect the vast majority of people who bought the ph

It does indeed have working print functionality. As you say, it's on macOS and so this automatically means it has PDF export. I'll admit I've never used said print functionality, so I can't rule out that it's missin

Wikipedia says they have 2,000 employees as of June, citing some stats from an article about their layoffs. (I do find it hard to pick how many employees a company "should" have, particularly since you need to account for things l

The major argument I've seen for that cost being "outrageous" is that if it needs to cost $2.50/month, there should have been a greater-than-30-days warning so that the existing clients could shift business models to sup

The fairest I can be there is that it might make their ad sales more complicated. It'd be more difficult to count "impressions" for an advertiser if you had to work out whether an ad served through the API was actually going

That's why the venture capital industry exists, though -- to get reasonably-quick returns on their investment, at a higher rate than just putting their money into an index fund. If you're not going to potentially give them back

I haven't seen any notable number of people arguing that the API should remain free no matter what. I have seen a lot of people arguing that reddit is being disingenuous with the API pricing (and also making up stuff about the Apollo

It's subjective, but to me the picture of the dog toy in the article looks about as distinct from a real bottle of Jack Daniels as that Google logo example.

To wildly generalize, my understanding is that one of the (legal) components for parody is that you need to be actually commenting on the thing you're parodying. Just referencing something that exists in pop culture doesn't mean i

Spitballing here, but for the interpreting-as-a-threat thing he could double-down on the misunderstanding claim -- it sounds like the CEO wasn't actually on that call, so he can throw an unnamed underling under the bus for how it was r

Few things are quite as annoying as seeing a 1-star Amazon review for a product that says "this was great, but it was delayed for delivery so I'm only giving it 1 star".

I think that the people who rate McDonald's 5-stars are probably being more helpful about the system than you are, because "restaurants" is far too broad a category to have a consistent scale within. Instead, it's more

Yeah, Saint Louis is a weird case because it has a really tight boundary compared to most cities, so the crime numbers you see are all about the urban core and don't include data from the suburbs. This NYT article has some numbers co
