It's not fine- the app is an awful user experience. I get that people disagree with the App Store policies, but at least there's some argument to be made that it's for the best of the users. There's absolutely no defendi

This comes up whenever the Mac App Store is mentioned, but it deserves being repeated until it's fixed: The Mac App Store is an awful program. It's incredibly slow. You make a great point- I'm glad there's now a public f

I don't understand your argument. "meant to evoke our self-righteousness"- meant by who? What prosecutorial discretion? Sounds like he pretty clearly broke the law, and didn't even try to hide it.

It'd be jarring enough to climb through such a small tunnel. But to hide there, while someone who wants to kill you waits outside? I'd go crazy.

"We underestimated the impact this would have upon the small number of our customers" Do they really believe it is a small number of customers that use non-Philips light bulbs? I mean, good for them in reversing the decision, but

I listen to multiple, vastly different genres. I find Spotify's Discover playlist may favor one particular genre one week, but it's usually pretty good. And the behavior you described doesn't sound "pretty bad". If

He's a journalist, so I'm sure he expected people would be looking at it. Reasons were probably more due to inexperience and lack of time.

This doesn't prove that Disney hasn't benefited enormously from extended copyright terms. Their stock growth is huge since '88, but it's impossible to say how much of that growth would have occurred without their copyrig

Disney & copyrights are really interesting. The linked site has a lot of info about why releasing to public domain doesn't harm content. But is there a Mickey/Disney equivalent internationally? I can't think of one, but I

Their first (older) video was clearly marketing fluff. That may be their long-term vision, but I'm skeptical they are anywhere close. Even if they had the capable display, code & computing power for a game in a dynamic environment

D3 always looks really interesting to me, but I still just use Highcharts for generating charts (easy to use, great documentation). Any reason to try out D3 for basic charting, or is it best suited for more custom scenarios?

Amazing story. Did you not know she was pregnant when you decided to sacrifice her? Did she have the baby still born? I've never played the game but almost want to now.

I don't think Trello is kanban-specific. Yes, it does kanban very well, but I know of many different types of people that use trello in completely different ways (and they've never heard of kanban).
