Ive is just the latest vehicle for the oft retold “apple is doomed” story. The media frequently plays apple as some kind of small company where genius individuals are developing blockbuster products in isolation, and not the hard-slog reali

This could just limit the types of conversations that flourish on the service. If neither party is adult enough to participate, then perhaps twitter and facebook aren’t the right places to have controversial discourse. I could however see i

Exactly, possibly the main function of troll farms is to attack opposing voices, usually to drive them from the platform entirely by overwhelming them. Creating their own echo chamber doesn’t have the desired effect. This new service is lik

The Android vs iOS graphs don't tell us a lot since Android is the accumulation of many devices across various brands, while iOS is just Apple's iPhone. Dividing the share by brand or even by price point reveals the true competiti

My assumption here is that popular songs are covered then assembled into generic playlists which are then used to divert the lion’s share of revenue away from the original artist’s music. Thus providing Spotify or the labels a low-cost way

Shopify also flags orders (even if they are fully paid) when the customer's email contains the shop's name. I'm sure their logic is that it helps cut down on fraud. I prefer the system of using a basic abbreviation in the ema

I feel a frequent problem in tech discussion is that the problem is greatly exaggerated, often to levels which are out of scope or come across as unreasonable demands. It has some similarities to Godwin's law. The follow-up discussion

Why can't we let device makers choose that for themselves? While iOS has a streamlined application and approval process for apps, it's still an application and approval process. On the other hand Windows, macOS and similar do not

It seems the problem of "search" is mostly well solved. What isn't well solved is the problem of "SEO gaming". Perhaps the advancement in search isn't by having an AI that chooses a better page, but rather an A

I unfortunately can't see this working in every scenario. For a Switch it seems like a workable solution as the owner's motivation is the only controlling factor in whether or not the device stays on the secure side or the anythin

The problem of a binary yes/no label is not uncommon. Other countries have approached this problem with a scale system (a simple bar from 0% to 100%), this way a consumer can easily compare like-for-like in product categories. This is

A census is only useful if the participants can fill out the paperwork honestly. I actually don't understand the people who don't see this being a problem, nor why they would believe layered privacy protections aren't useful.

Unfortunately the problem exists in both directions. I run my setup entirely in English and Google will still try to squeeze in the local non-english language. Confusingly Google will also write some sentences half in english and half in th

There were a lot of people in tech and the media who made all sorts of claims that we appreciate as nonsense. One that stuck out to me was a “tech guru” stating that the screen must be using heat to detect touch, and that this means the scr
