I honestly don't get the hate toward header files. They're not great, but are they really that bad?

Wouldn't your father-in-law's experience fall under relationships?

How else are they going to make a profit? Unless you're Red Hat, the "sell support" option just doesn't work.

I doubt they're going to kill RoboVM. I don't think they care much about which language, just that you get your tools from them.

The main purpose of their tool was running Java code on iOS. Using GPLv3, you couldn't do that.

Money isn't speech. You can say whatever you want. You're just not entitled to a platform in which to do it.

You're not entitled to speak to a large audience. And I'm not saying to completely ban political donations. I'm saying to severely limit them. Let every citizen donate $500/year to political causes, no more. The budgetin

The Supreme Court also held that "Separate but Equal" was perfectly fine. They don't get things right all the time. And the argument is that money isn't speech.

by s73v3r 11y ago
No. I'm sorry, but spending money is not speech. Restricting the amount of money that one can donate to political campaigns would be perfectly fine, and would not infringe upon anyone's rights at all.

Citizens United is not freedom of speech.

How can you do that if TI didn't give you the rights to it in the first place?

" It would obviously be a waste of money to serve more people, or even pay its Chinese workers a living wage." They do. Compare the workers at Foxconn Apple factories to other factory workers. And remember that just about every ot

It's not. As you said, Apple just doesn't produce cheap laptops. If you compare like for like, the PC laptops cost about the same as the Apple ones.

Apple isn't forcing anything on OEMs. Google is, similar to how Microsoft was forcing things on PC OEMs back in the day.

If TI decides to leave the market, there's nothing to be done. You can't force TI to come back if they don't want to.

That's not something that developers would stand for. As a developer, I want to know that a permission was denied, so I can take action. If a permission I asked for was denied, it's quite possible my app won't run correctly.

But what are those people going to do when they fail? Chasing your dreams is great. Doing so at the expense of schooling, especially when it's possible to do both, is a gamble at best.

I don't believe that's what they're saying. They're saying that if you're better at selecting people, you won't have as many bad hires (really?). You then will be giving the training to people who will be bette

"Regulation is always a bad thing." I know, right? I long for the days in which companies could dump whatever sludge they wanted in the water, and where meatpackers could let the rats roam free over the half rotted meat they were

And what about in emergency situations? Do you really want to make people wait 2 weeks for disaster relief funds?

"I get it in the sense that they didn't pay their bills and they've chosen denial as their plan for dealing with it but I don't get why anyone else would want to validate that kind of behavior." Because debt collect

They are free to speak their mind. However, they are not free from the potential consequences of doing so.

I don't think there's much of a market for novelty accounts on HN.

You're forgetting that they're trying to be the Uber of trucking. Meaning they don't give a damn about safety, because the truckers are not working for them. They're contractors.

"but for the people (especially the CIOs) who pursue it, they get exactly what they deserve" Do they? Or do they still get the bonus for cutting costs, despite not actually doing so?

Free market logic requires perfect information, though. How many of us have seen Highly Paid Consultants come on that were absolutely terrible, yet were paid more than we were in salary?

Here's the big question, though: I have to put in a lot of work to manage an overseas team. In many cases, more than I would have to put in to manage a local team. And the costs aren't really that much cheaper. So if I have to put

Well no, it's mainly the fault of Congress and procurement rules which require going with the lowest bidder. And it also is the fault of the companies that do this.

It's a bad thing because it doesn't work that way. Software engineers are skilled workers, not assembly line workers. And business Darwinism doesn't really work. Otherwise Comcast would have gone under years ago.

"They don't have to work there*" That's not an excuse. "If they are more qualified for a higher paying position or different job, they should move to it." There are all kinds of reasons why a person wouldn&#x27
