This happened with the 3GS (which should have been 4), and has continued since then.

I may be wrong, but I remember reading something that most humans can't notice any lag below 200ms.

I believe the way you presented your two arguments shows them as non mutually exclusive. Couldn't healthcare or economic security be something that society is obligated to not take _away_ from you, while also not being something that

What about a thumbs up, thumbs down, and a neutral? In the case of restaurants, there are plenty of places I've eaten where I wouldn't give them a thumb's up "best place ever", but also not deserving of a thumb&#x2

Maybe I'm missing something here, but wouldn't the best "offline mode" be to never connect a sensitive phone/tablet to any internet-facing network?

Ultimately employment comes down to a voluntary contract between the employer and the employee. Personally I don't feel that it is the responsibility of the government to dictate what those contracts look like. Generally the thought i

For a manufacturer it's not as cut-and-dry. The damage caused is a factor of the level (dB) received combined with the length of exposure. Assumptions will have to be made as to how far away the user will be from the device and how l

Here as a conservative, I do think Google had the right to fire him. I don't agree with the decision, but I don't need to. It's not my company. On that note, I don't think the memo was intended to speak for Google, but

Exactly. And sticking them in a 101 level class when they really should be in remedial can end up having taking the same amount of time if that student now needs to take the class twice (or more) to pass.

Software Engineering definitely has jobs/applications that can cause catastrophic loss if done incorrectly. For example, software in commercial airlines.

Hm, I'm not familiar with that acronym.

To be fair, I think a good portion of those 'shills' were organic (no pun intended). To this day, a lot of the popular "anti-monsanto", "anti-gmo" groups (e.g. David Avocado Wolfe) are pretty nutjob and have a

Now, yes. Snapchat was first to market (between the two) with expiring photos and stories.

Probably very highly dependent on which age group. Pre-teens/teens? Snapchat. 20's? Messenger. 30+? Messenger and WhatsApp.

Anecdotal, but this was me. Once I realized that I can find and follow more interesting people on Instagram in comparison to Snapchat, I stopped using Snapchat altogether.

Not to mention, not all of the EU is the same. Want to return something in Germany? Forget about it. Buying from an independent seller on Amazon is similar to buying on eBay. You're taking the risk of not having the customer service

This is purely anecdotal, but every so often I have a day where my battery is just shot before it's even lunchtime. I can usually pinpoint it to one of several apps, because the problem is ailed by force quitting those that I know are

On the subject of not reading advice, do you have advice on how you get the word out to your side projects? How do you "market" them?

Not yet successful, but I recently launched a product that I'm sure wouldn't be launched yet if I hadn't read the recommendation to ship early.

I recently switched from Cyberduck (and a Transmit trial) to Forklift. Night and day difference. S3 on Transmit was terrible, and the application seemed a little plain in features in comparison.
