They are a general nightmare to own after the first year or so. They encounter hardware issues way more frequently compared to Japanese cars. For a typical Japanese car like Honda / Toyota / Mazda, you typically don't need to

If they manage regular production levels despite the ridiculous bureaucracy, I guess it's fair to call them more efficient / productive :P

I think it's more because people are a bit annoyed at 5 different posts effectively discussing the Apple event.

Developer jobs need strong English, not native English. And with remote work becoming more of a thing they'd need strong written English, which is an easier threshold for lots of foreigners to clear.

And then we end up with 50 different things that all do a different 90% subset of the job.

Except the whole world isn't really competing for those Visas. The appeal of the H1B is the difference in quality of life between the home country and the US. It's not like the everyone in the world has a burning desire to pay Cal

Is this a joke? The US is EXTREMELY happy to collect taxes from people around the world and to call them resident aliens for tax purposes if they stay in the country for more than half a year or a given combination of days in the preceding

The article is written like an 'in memoriam', except that Dr Ghez is actually alive. Here's what the clickbait headline was referring to— "NIRC [Near Infrared Camera at Keck Observatory] was never designed to do what And

The sheer chutzpah of claiming "Apple eats 30% of all charitable donations made on the app" is an irrelevant piece of information to the end-user. This is the kind of behavior that only comes from a company that knows they can get

It was civil disobedience from the start. They wanted to this to become big. And to be honest, it was not like Apple was trying to compromise. Apple never compromises. Their definition of compromise is to not hold a grudge if you choose to

Thank you Darko for the research and I understand I should not complain about something I am getting for free, but I was rubbed the wrong way with the way you chose to distribute this—I was first asked for an email id, then sent an email wi

What does it mean to review the content on Netflix? Do Apple reviewers sit and go through every single movie and show on the platform? Or do they watch every single Youtube video?

by kinkrtyavimoodh 6y ago
YES. That is precisely what the 50 threads on HN on this topic in the last two months have been about. There is no realistic / reasonable way to distribute an iPhone app outside the app store.

Because Apple wants it and they are one leg of the international duopoly of mobile OSes. And most small apps aren't important or differentiated enough for people to change platforms over. This really needs concerted action on part of 5

Yes, it is easy for Apple to add 'exemptions' since they are the sole self-appointed judge, jury and executioner. In practice, what it boils down to is a calculus about whether the an app is powerful enough for its absence on the

People who oppose H1B fundamentally believe that foreign workers should not be allowed to enter the American labor pool thereby depressing the wages here. Fair enough. While on the margin, it is true that if a company can't hire a fore

What is this even supposed to mean? We already have bargaining between workers and employees. When you have a larger labor pool, market forces will obviously shift the market towards lower wages in the absence of government intervention. Pe

I think these things become kind of inevitable in big companies once job-hopping careerists take over most of the decision making, optimizing for the short-term metrics that make them look better. It doesn't help that big companies ten
