I think the App Store model is probably still currently the best model for the average user who doesn’t know how to secure a computing device. I know we may be heading towards a future where we’re totally locked down, but what alternative d

Likewise some people go out of their way to disparage Apple because they belong to the anti-“cult”. Comment histories can be damning… Maybe adding something useful to the conversation by recommending a possible solution to the problem that

Sorry, I call BS here. Maybe you just don’t know how to use Google (which I find hard to believe for the users of this forum), but adding -tool to the search immediately shows Milwaukee’s gov website as the 2nd result after the Bucks (the N

I would like to offer a counter view; I originally was planning on taking care of both my parents and my in-laws as they aged, but to my surprise neither wanted that. Both sides have experienced taking care of their previous generation and

Just 3 dollars a month… if every piece of software I use on a daily basis cost me a few dollars then the usage cost would spiral out of control. Now many of us are software developers here on HN, so I understand the need to charge money for

Why are we comparing the number of deaths in a first world country (Japan) vs a third world country (India). Isn’t it obvious that poorer countries would have higher death rates? Is it really so complex?

All the articles that you linked came prior to when Apple officially postponed the rollout. Doesn’t Apple have the right to explain and defend their position? Even though they tried defending their view adamantly they still ultimately didn’

Ok, let’s use your terminology and say they are postponing the rollout. You speak as though they’ve already rolled it out. It could also be an indefinite postponement. Yet you insist on painting the narrative as if it already occurred. Guil

Let’s wait until Apple actual starts device scanning before condemning them for it? Apple were up front with their plans and after hearing the public outcry they canceled their rollout. Other companies would have just rolled out the change
