In a lot of ways I think what you are saying is actually in line with what the article is saying: Most people don't actually understand REST and it is leading to a lot of poorly designed API's. Unfortunately, the zealots are oft

Less inhumane != humane As for grey areas, is it more humane to kill 1 to prevent them from killing 10? Or 2? Or 10,000,000? Two things that should not be spoken of categorically are war and humane/inhumane, they are routinely define

The quote specifically says they don't share data between apps, but not that they don't collect data from all of the apps and correlate it behind the scenes. Perhaps it is an overly cynical point of view, but true to the spoken w

I cannot help but think about the article last week about WhatsApp needing only 50 engineers for over 900M users. Evernote just let go that many people and their software is bug-ridden next to WhatsApp. Seriously, what do all of these eng

My experience, and several others I have talked to, is completely opposite of yours. Making the claim, even through a 3rd party consultant, was a pain in the ass and the results were very underwhelming. We needed to submit a lot more deta

Seems to me that any 'fix' that lowers fuel economy would have a real and measurable damage on the owners in the way of increased fuel costs. Wouldn't this just be deflecting the problem from one area to another?

The car may have been better than it should have been, but it was NOT better than was claimed. It is not the product itself that is the problem, it is the claims made of the product by the manufacturer. VW made claims about the power, fue

To expand on this, I think a better question is why do other need so many more engineers for so many fewer users?

Of course. And don't get me wrong, the iPad is far from worthless and Apple is far from Trivial in the space. The point is that Apple is no longer the leader/innovator in the space. Perhaps I am wrong, but I think that a lot of

It began a while ago, it is just now more apparent because the level of innovation in each successive generation has become so small. I wonder if we will look back at the last 8 years as Apple's golden years, because it is really feel

Yes, that is true, which is why wording is important. However, this article is not talking about a single post being taken out of context, it is about a systematic online persona that is affecting real life.
