Do we know that, though? Historically the lives of most people were bleak and miserable. You don't really have much time to feel depressed when you have to work for 14 hours in a factory 6 days a week or lose your home and eventually d

You're talking about an adult, though, not a seven-year old child..

For a 7 year old? It's about as absurd/dystopian as somebody claiming their 3 year old was diagnosed with ADHD.

Yeah, I suppose there was a point he had to sign off on the decision so there is that. Hard to say if his role amounted to anything more than that (maybe it did). > judged by outcomes In a general it depends? Of course in Apple's ca

I don't necessarily see any reason to attribute this specific outcome to Cook, though. But from a stockholder perspective this is a bit mixed. Of course Macs are still very profitable compared to what PC makers are making. Now they sha

IMHO Europe changed massively since the 80s and 90s in that regard, though. Arianespace was pretty much SpaceX of the 80s and there were quite a few tech companies back then. Due to various reasons stagnation entirely took over Europe after

If you can't get a simple game like that perform well even when written in JavaScript on a semi-modern PC you wouldn't be able to do it in any language. It's certainly not the issue.

Yes, exactly. They couldn't afford to crapify their products for short term again and hope to survive. They wouldn't be here if they did that. Now they can. > well-known positions against the company's current practices Co

Or the opposite. The Apple might and/or its execs might think that they are in such a dominant position that purposefully lowering UX to extract a few extra pennies from their users won't cause any short term harm. While back in t

Why? There are already iPads and iPhones more expensive that Macs and Apple is not trying to justify anything. The capabilities of the OS have nothing to do with the chip of course.

Well you didn't say how and why is it relevant specifically. So I don't quite get the point. Everything partially led to everything. We might as well talk how the Persian - Roman wars led to the Spanish Inquisition as well.

The French and Indian war began 2 years before the war in Europe. So in a way it was the other way around (of course there were much more important factors than what was effectively an ongoing proxy war in faraway colonies)

Relatively (adjusted by area and duration) not that many people from Spain moved to the Americas between 1500 and ~1800, especially compared to the British colonies in North America. So they couldn't murder/expel (unlike the Briti

It's complicated in the sense that there were both people trying to burn and destroy anything and those trying to preserve the books and the language doing their own stuff in parallel.
