That’s a really hard sell, meaning difficult. Should I buy a BMW that seems — according to the manufacturer — to need an extended warranty? This also seems like a privacy issue, but only if you and one other car pass by the sign at the ex

The government (maybe unknowingly) took a huge chance when they allowed acquisition after acquisition to transpire, now there’s genuine concern that that might have been bad for competition. I genuinely hope those same risk takers allow th

A small target: in my browser I only see “data:” … seems like this also exemplifies another potential pitfall with respect to browsers that obscure parts of URLs. For example, it seems bad that I don’t see at least data:text/html;base

My biggest need for an emulator like this is to see the keyboard invoked when using a form. A very specific use case: I’m working on a typeahead UX for a Search input, and how this behaves on a device with a screen based keyboard is hard t

For articles and reviews like this, is it responsible journalism to not link and therefore promote the product? I’m genuinely curious if this is an oversight or something else; I see this a lot. It’s not hard to cut n paste the model numb

Not saying I think the pricing is “right” but separate for $999 is actually great for people who would’ve previously paid $999 for the whole display & thrown that part away in favor of a VESA mount. Look at the bright side: you save $80

Just for comparison I uploaded this image of both duckduckgo & google for the query above: https://imgur.com/a/1Fci80P The layouts are different & it’s hard to tell if that impacts whether or not the results ar

First: kudos for having the guts to share a mistake. Second: kinda cool that you didn’t completely bash Namecheap, though the negative stuff you’ve described about them is well-deserved I think this may be (unfortunate) typical behavior for

Sounds great; setting a reminder to check in on Facebook in a few years. Not too happy that my data from my deleted account might actually be gone by the time Facebook becomes privacy aware. Seriously, I saw the movie, it took a few college

I think Apple could do a better job onboarding people to iPhones. For example they could check to see if you’re interested certain aspects and queue up tutorials that drive extracting settings that would help; but at the end of the day the

I agree with others here, re: “Tab” … this is a grid. Some improvements that would be cool to see: * keyboard shortcuts (up, down, left, right & esc to exit) * the arrows behave differently when using the up & down vs left & rig

Is the “not obfuscated” part potentially just because the OS is still Beta? Seems somewhat similar to not encrypting the kernel, from iOS 10 ( https://techcrunch.com/2016/06/22/apple-unencrypted-kernel/ )

I wonder what it’s like on Apple’s campuses? I’d guess their employees all have new laptops, or at least Touch Bar equipped models. How many have the Bluetooth Magic Keyboard & Track Pad at their work station too? If they do use externa

One option would be to custom build jQuery and omit the parts you don't need or like. The libraries posted all have their merits; but jQuery has so much traction. That means more folks ready to hit the ground running on what you&#x27

Mehh, I’m glad this got dupe’d. This first time I read the article I found it interesting & the subject extremely valid. That said, the article would be better if it alluded to real examples. The fictional ones are funny & they di

I wish it were up developers of sites to control all the beacons, ad calls, and 3rd party nonsense … sadly for any large commercial site there are probably dozens of stakeholders vying to have some bits shoved in every page. To imply that

This is the perfect opportunity for someone to build a comparable service to swoop in & save the day when this gets shut down.

This is great! Well done. And not just from the Google Apps alternative perspective, the user interface is different. People might debate some of the major differences; but the infinite or continuous calendar scrolling feature along with

Is that surprising? I'd imagine the loser in every state's gubernatorial race is also trending down on Facebook. McCain? All washed up on Facebook, too, right?
