It's cute that you think that is how apple works. There was a huge backlash. People hates it. Apple pushed forward anyways. They knew they had a monopoly on Apple hardware and the iPhone would ensure they could make silly decisions wit

And then from a high rise to a shitty office space where you could regularly see hookers on the elevators and at least while I was there the bank at the bottom was robbed at gun point twice.

But you are missing the Apple does not offer a matte. So if you decide you like the rest of the hardware and OS you have no choice. If apple offered a matte MBP then you would have numbers that could mean something. You have many users usin

Are they all using Apple? - Glare for one, never had a glossy screen not be horrid with glare.

The problem is some times things look good on paper, but those good attributes don't translate into user satisfaction.

You can only develop IOS apps on Apple products, apple does not offer a matte display. The argument only holds true if Apple offered a matte display and developers still chose glossy. No for sure there are people who want MacOS -- but again

And with that I declare this product dead... Idera is the last stop to squeeze cash out of a company. Expect layoffs and all future work to be outsourced via fixed cost development to lowest bidders (mostly in India ). Also expect a big sal

Can you please share a screenshot, and information on what you edited in userChrome.css ?

> Hundreds of thousands of developers have MBPr's which are glossy only. The number of people doing something does not strengthen your argument. Even more so given that Apple does not offer matte displays.

You say all that -- regardless how superior your glossy screen is on paper; I, and many others still prefer to look at matte screens and have far less problems with them in real world situations.

I was in your boat, it is a pain, but... I found that I actually like the UI in firefox after customizing it. For me it may have been easy because I use sway (i3 clone on wayland -- clone is the best, it is actually more / better than

But the nuance is what is meant by affordable housing. You may be right about flooding the market with more workers but you forgot to keep going. If all the sudden there are a ton of people applying for these jobs it will drive the wages do

None of those seem to have anything to do with gender... Many people have access to a million dollars, not many seem to have good ideas.

So you are telling me these were the only guys ever to have friends and family with that sort of cash to help out ? Many millions are lost every year by friends and families helping start companies that fail.

And my point is they founded companies without taking money from themselves. So anybody else should be able to do the same as they did. Further more, why is their money better for founding companies than somebody else's ? On top of tha

Why do we always act like brain surgeons are any smarter than -- well any other type of surgeon? It seems to me it is mostly a dexterity thing. Much like a good butcher. Don't get me wrong. I am not trying to put down brain surgeons, I

Which is funny. Because I think 5 well places high rise apartments would level the entire playing field. You want to place the buildings right in front of the most expensive ones today. Blocking whatever view they have. This would instantly

Yes they do. But are there not far fewer home owners than renters? Somewhere some one renting a apartment with a nice view voted down a building changing their view.

While I don't agree with you I understand your line of thinking. But I think you are underestimating how good it is for the city even if people keep speculating. It will be net more money into the city off property taxes, many of them

You can't have it both ways. Either change the city and build upwards or stop complaining about the price of living. The notion that a city should not change and keep it's "feel" across sunch long times is backwards thin

That is a simple view of how a company works. It's much more complex than "make the results look a little better for the next quarter". Entire forecast change when numbers are missed. People are also hired based off those num

And if you are bought by a PE it is often some guys spreadsheet that does the cutting. And many times that spreadsheet is total BS and used just because it seemed to work that one time they used it before.
