Bitcoin was sold to me as freedom, from governments, from banks, etc. But now I have come to realize that a completely unregulated payment system is very dangerous. To be clear, Bitcoin is not "bad". Humans are bad and this is why

But that's basically how Google engineering works. They call it A/B testing, but we all know it's just testing...

Top reasons I prefer Darktable over Lightroom: 1. It runs on all platforms 2. It is not cloud based 3. It does not delete your photos

Technically, you paid for product A and now you suddenly have B. They should either restore it to A or give your money back. I think a lawyer could turn this into a class action issue if they refused.

Well, Apple TOS forbids them using their own servers for updates (which btw Facebook ignores and gets away with).. But what would be a fair price? Given how cheap bandwidth and storage is would $50,000 suffice? Surely that's closer to

I am fine with epic getting a bigger piece of the pie, after all they are doing the work and apple is just taxing them. We are talking about 30% of hundreds of millions of dollars. The yearly developer fee Epic pays Apple should cover apple

The $99/yr fee is supposed to cover apples costs for the store. Google asks for $25 and they have 6 times more devices to serve... At this point the 30% is basically free money they get on someone elses hard work. And there is no consi

I think their fee is much lower. Also, there are competing "stores" on PC, including the buy-cd-from-physical-store-and-pay-no-fees option. On iPhone it's apples way or the highway. So while epic are hypocrites, they can be b

How about the $99/yr app store fee they already pay?

> Do i get that wrong? Yes. > We want access to all your platform and tools for free? Well, they do pay the $99 annual fee + cost of a Mac required for submitting to the store :) More seriously, you are wrong because Epic/Spotify

I agree this is shity design, but is it "ads"?? To be clear: I don't like been forced "recommendations" that some AI algorithm digged up for me. But this is still far far from the consumer product ads you see will o

Same here, I simply look at 1-star reviews and ignore that there are 100x 5-star reviews. Note that this won't work on sites where the seller can delay publishing your review (e.g AliExpress).

Amazon is not nearly as dominant in EU as in the US. I think we will soon see large Chinese companies establishing themselves in Europe and take market share from both local stores and Amazon. Many large sellers on AliExpress have already s

Because Comsat, ATT and other have already strongarmed these companies into paying them for bandwidth. Why shouldn't cities get a piece of that too?

This is one of my favorite quotes, which I think summerizes what you wrote in one sentence: "artificial intelligence is the second best way to solve any problem" (KJ Astrom, UC Santa Barbara)

In this case it was partially due to issues with the great Chinese firewall.

Could you tell us how you use it? Some folks I know can't shut up praising this kit (and the Ableton Push) but no one has managed to explain why.

Not sure how this is enforced. Generally the merger falls apart if there are any indications of this happening. Don't forget that these are public companies and a stopped merger can affect their stock. Besides, major investors would ea

Actually at that time MIPS suddenly came back to life and had a big push with improved designs and a few deals resulting in pretty decent MIPS socs. Performance was okay, battery life was good, and they were first to market with the latest

This is so simple and beautiful. It is mainly because of lack of power saving and EMC requirements plus no clock skew problems at such low frequencies. Nowadays you need a team of 50 people just for the clock tree.
