It's the majority opinion, infact Apple also believes that the notch is a compromise. Apple has been trying to develop the under-screen webcam tech. They just don't have the technical capability to eliminate it. When Apple and o

A customer should care about looking at a retail product with their own POV, not someone else's. This is the classic "you're holding it wrong" response.

Microsoft was already offering users to upgrade to IE8. Users chose IE6 for whatever reason. Most likely because non-technical users didn't give a shit, or maybe they were stuck on IE6 due to ActiveX or other compatibility issues. Goog

Of course, these things are assumed. Nobody actually claims systems to be universally applicable to everyone in every situation. So that is a bit of a nitpick, and not very substantive.

You are presenting your own bias and opinions - which is fine, everyone is biased and has opinions, but you're smuggling them as objective moral truths about the universe. Sorry, it doesn't work like that. People absolutely do not

I directly addressed what I thought was the main point you were making about luck. Who people "look up to" is a more complicated issue.

I don't think this argument is all that great - most rational people have already internalized that luck plays a role for everyone in the world. To start with there is the "i was born healthy, wasn't malnourished, wasn't

You are entitled to your opinion, but pro tip: Telling people they're wrong when a system is working for them doesn't get the point across. Often those same people are well aware that each system has its flaws and no system is per

It makes complete sense if you don't strawman comments in bad-faith. This isn't about "allow" or "disallow" - there is no attempt here to abridge somebody's free speech. Anyone can criticize anything. It t

I think people should implement their own ideas and systems first , prove it to us, and then preach about why a competing idea/system is wrong. To me, it makes zero sense to tell someone they're wrong, when those people are seein

Sure but the tradeoff is that either you accidentally order more things than you need (based on retailer recommendation), or you have to do a new order because you forgot (when there are no retailer recommendations). Some retailers allow yo

Most online stores that do that, when you're about to checkout, they ask you if you want to add a previously viewed item, or some other kind of add-on, etc. Its a sales tactic and I can see how it works. If the FTC is to regulate this,

Yeah, but the series of combinations of the 26 buttons allows for creative expression in a way that photography doesn't.

Its not the same, the act of taking a picture is seen as simply pressing a button - which is true. The process of designing an image isn't. So if you were an art director in a studio in charge of the look of the model, hair, makeup, et

Exactly, they're conflating choice with complexity. As you said, you can have any level of control, via various permission levels. I think what would be helpful if there was a concept of a "system admin" profile that you coul

Thanks, but I like my example, even if you find it inconvenient. I don't find it strange at all that the most popular operating system gets exploited the most. Luckily, Windows is not in the top 5 for reported vulnerabilities. https:&

Its usual BS from Apple. Imagine Microsoft blocking all non-store applications from running on Windows "to help keep users safe". No I'm not cheering for Microsoft to do the same. Its strange, but I want Apple to be more like

It may be true for media formats, but I don't think its generally applicable like that. I doubt a mainstream tech CEO will stand up on stage to promote adult content as their early adopters in front of journalists.
