Shipping an unmodified iOS apps for Mac is a really easy way for developers to validate market demand. If there's enough demand, they can invest in Mac-specific improvements and hopefully grow their market share. If not, at least the c

Scanning the paper, it looks like it does discuss the impact of prior missionary experience on MLM growth. Having seen it first hand, the relationship between pausing college for a couple of year to go door to door discussing religion, foll

I grew up outside Utah, but have lived here now for 20 years. To me, the abstract reads like "water is wet". Both true and obvious to anyone experiencing it. Because I'm not willing to willing to pay for the actual paper, I d

You seem to be suggesting that would be a mistake. But if we're not willing to prevent thought crime, who will? With a little work, we can ensure that future generations don't even know what a "double plus meanie" was. I

Most people replace their phones and laptops every 2 to 5 years. Too fast to see any problem under normal usage. Most game consoles and TVs are unlikely to do enough logging to wear out their storage. But if they did, especially if they cos

It probably didn't become a large enough issue until the tail end of last quarter. I expect this will be the quarter that we start to see antagonism between Trump and China have a real effect.
