What if Steve Jobs wore green instead of black when announcing the iPhone? Would Apple still be the same company today? Who cares? That's a stupid question, we can't possibly know and either way we can't change the past. What

It makes plenty of difference for employees, just not for overall company output. If anything if your union increases employee happiness and retention that's probably better for business in the long run.

You're saying we could have been free of FAANG hell if we just had unions all along?! Imagine that! Life could be such a dream.

I won't stand for Pilkey slander. I have worked in education. His books are certainly silly, but they are indeed a very functional gateway to get kids to enjoy reading on their own. Yes, they are immature, they are for kids. No, they w

To play devil's advocate, it has become common to simply read a plot synopsis on something like Wikipedia rather than engage with the book/movie/show/etc. be it for lack of time or interest. This brings one up to speed w

I'd revise (c) to just "in quantity." They're able to throw a lot out to see what sticks, and while a lot of it doesn't, some of it really does.

Not to worry, the VM we're on has only been running since last Tuesday.

Yes, the additional $600 they make off of users who just want extra RAM is just an unfortunate side effect of the unavoidable process of not being Dell. Couldn't be any other reason.

Yeah, it's obviously not the ideal, but if you look up a video of a walkabout through the city there you'll see what I mean immediately.

We shouldn't have to have ads everywhere. Ad-free societies can exist. Granted, the only one I've seen do it successfully was North Korea, and if that's what's required to get rid of ads, maybe it's not worth it...

This is so wildly incorrect at every step that I almost think you're doing it deliberately.

What do you mean, make up stories? I saw these sorts comments myself. You can still find them.

Awful lot of doomsaying and drama in here. What makes this release so bad compared to the existing voice cloning AI methods that have been publicly available for ~1 year already?

Yeah, it sucks. The only silver lining I see is that it seems this is the alternative to war, in which case people would be indiscriminately enlisted and killed. Maybe things wouldn't go that far either way but it's all I can thin

Similar story from me, I was digging around in the code of this game that I had been playing since I wanted to make mods for it. At one point I found the internal IDs for different outfits you can put on your characters which was relevant t

I still do this by shooting fan mail to indie game developers after I finish a game that I particularly enjoyed. 100% response rate so far, and always a pleasant experience for both parties.

Good job saving the kid. That's a genuinely heroic story.

I would argue that having so much capacity for memory retention that our brains can spare space on frivolous things like that is marvelous in and of itself. Retention of information is arguably as important as the capacity for information.

People want music for different reasons. Some just like it because it sounds cool.

Not to be rude, but it sounds like you were never taught about connotation, which is a fundamental property of the English language.

Your grandma being scammed is not dependent on being able to install software. The vast majority of phone scams are reliant on browser-based phishing pages, convincing the victim to send a bank transfer, or getting a gift card code from the

> So why does Apple and their customer base have to give up things they seemingly want Wrong, they are not giving anything up. They gain an option and lose nothing. Gaining a new opt-in feature is not a loss and is in fact the opposite.

But clearly there are plenty of iPhone users who do care to install their own software. One solid way to tell is that if there weren't then there wouldn't be an iOS homebrew scene. Is your point then is that because you personally

Just curious, about how long does the initial recovery phase last? Congratulations to your daughter by the way, happy you all pulled through.

I would honestly be fine if Apple was at least as lenient as Android in terms of sideloading. Doesn't seem like a big ask to me, given that just about every other phone manufacturer in the world except for Apple does it and the world h
