Apple's products have FAR higher resale and expected life than almost any competitors. Your insistence that folks buy trash phones that get thrown away (and are totally unsupported software side almost from date of mfg) is ridiculous a

It's to deceive buyers. I bought a new apple battery with the apple logo from online vendor - turned out to be total junk. Amazon used to be filled with these junk apple parts - I tried so hard to buy a real apple charger etc and you j

Are police really responsible for most violence (murders / robberies etc) in the US. If so it would seem better supervision would lead to a huge reduction in those crimes.

The curfews in our area were put in place by elected officials as the violence was out of control at night. This was not a police action. The Constitution provides a right to peaceful assembly. It does not provide a right to violence and lo

I'm also curious about this disaster waiting to happen. They've emphasized an escape capability all the way into orbit. They emphasized various types of automation (also used by other spacecraft).

18% is not pennies. That beats every low risk asset by a mile. 0.25% is pennies. And yes, all the market data fees, liquidity maker / taker fees - I get those pennies getting picked up.

Again, I think you don't realize how substantially better the iphone was compared to the competition (which then has worked to copy the iphone).

Interesting - I'd never heard of COSS. I'd thought they were doomed (ie, no linux cloud offering expected, no multi-platform or open source offerings). Windows Mobile did crash and burn, but Azure actually has linux containers (mo

On problem - the software / template they used was so unprofessional looking I wouldn't be suprised if a fake version looked better than the real thing. http://3kbo302xo3lg2i1rj8450xje-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-c.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. I still have the issue but I do still use pycharm (I do docker local and then just go from there - but my preferred was always basically "remote" develop - I used to use that so if I was on

You must not remember the web before google and google funded firefox!! This whole "google has never done anything" meme just seems ridiculous on its face. Google took on and basically CRUSHED some major market players and powers

Let's be totally clear. These employees don't want free speech on the platform - they want their speech to be the one selected on the platform. The MINUTE Facebook starts censoring some of what they like they'll be out protes

This I think illustrates nicely how privileged and out of touch Facebook engineers are. --- I demand the right to protest my own employer. Facebook: Sure I demand the right to take unplanned time off to protest even if it disrupts operation

So - the tesla driving facebookers get a day off from work - paid - not even using their vacation - and this is a walkout? Are they forfeiting their stock to protest facebooks offensive conduct? This is the look at me style of protesting. Q

Quick note: Boeing got the big bucks at $5B or so for their crewed services because they have the "better" more reliable design. SpaceX only got $3B or so. Boeing running roughly 60%+ more per seat as well. So a real accomplishmen

That is ridiculous - you wouldn't carry the weight around for that power level for such a short flight segment need. If you are averaging 35% power you have WAY to big an engine in your plane!!

Just realize that AWS / GCP / Azure have already gobbled up vast swaths of website hosting in all forms and are growing along with some free CDN and DNS providers. If google said, we want to track people, and brings android, chrom

DevKoala, I don't think you may realize how much of your online activity is already tracked by google / facebook / instagram. Google's javascript is everywhere, including explicit tracking with analytics, and lots of CDN

The idea that a file was deleted as a first step is pretty out there. There is NO evidence of that. The usual progression is to deny streaming, then warn and close account ultimately. Question is this a paid google storage / CDN accoun

Actually - usually it's requiring others to promote, pay for or echo their speech. I'm free to speak, and make you speak what I want, and pay for my speech, but YOU can't make me say things I don't want to. Huh? Stand on

You can bring your own IP range or pay for an elastic IP. Isn't this how folks do this (I do!). You get a bunch of elastic IPs, you point your domains to those, you point those to your instances. That's secure, no one can use thos

You target people using the app. If you had control of verify.paypal.com you'd target people using paypal apps. Even though it's not a compromise of the app argueably it's a concept of the app platform. Users's don'

I like it. Can you open a text editor and get going with C#? Now you easily can. iPython and python notebooks gained lots of traction from just this type of simplicity. If you were to write a "script" using the language, doing som
