   Quality of product will have you back to Android in no time. I had a work iPhone and it felt like 4 years outdated.

   But Google cannot get away with screwing both customers and developers. Apple doesn't seem to provide competition in the tech space that is pro consumer or pro developer. Apple is pushing profit more than anyone else in tech.

   For me, Apple. Google isn't outwardly evil. Apple being anti consumer and anti developer really show you who Apple works for.

   It's important to stop calling them by the generic name doctors. They are Physicians. There are lots of doctors, but only one group has spent 300,000,000 dollars on limiting competition and propping their own profession with exclusive

   I find it odd people call Apple, and Amazon a monopoly, when it's very easy to not use Apple and Amazon is inferior to Walmart Online. I don't have a reason to use either company outside obscure niche circumstances.

   Because making the tech that is safe and reliable enough for technician's to use is the hard part. I can teach anyone how to clean a mold. I can't teach just anyone how to design a mold. And if you designed a mold before, you have

   Seeing Tesla hit 50B but GM be around 60B makes me wonder if auto is under valued. Transportation is boring but necessary. These companies also have plenty of experience and infrastructure. Sales are marketing based.

    The whole prestigious school thing means little imo. After you meet a few dunces from a top school and the rare genius who went to CC, you really stop caring. College is what you make it. If you aren't networking a top school, I don&#x

    I imagine people outside the United States have lots of reasons to avoid the United States government currency (or their own corrupt countries). Given the atrocities governments commit, I don't see anything morally wrong with using a c

    Any Ethereum developers have a plan once ETH gets log jammed again? Apps will be slow to respond and take minutes or hours between updates. Is this accepted as you wait for a new solution to the byzantine generals problem?

    Is this a coordinated ad campaign for Firefox? I find it odd how there will be Google Hate, and unanimous Firefox support. I guess I'm looking to hear from users who actually removed Google from their life and are happy. Chrome is only

    I have been programming for 11 years and only Apple has the barrier to entry. Literally 100% of the other languages I've used did not have a yearly fee to use. I know plenty of coders that are professionals that don't program for

    Reading Apple teaches me a lot about copywriting. If something is ambiguous, you are allowed to say whatever you want. That article was beautiful like a Donald Trump speech. Propaganda, but it was fun and exciting.

    You also need to buy an Apple computer to use Apple dev tools. Apple prices out the lower class and third world countries from developing. They are actively contributing to income disparity. Edit, anyone want to argue the opposite? The upfr

    To clarify, I had a 600 dollar/mo apartment I paid for near my job. This was 1 hour away from school. I drove my Aunt's beater car she gave me for 15 years of nearly unpaid yardwork. I did accept a 9 year old desktop computer from

    Business owner != electrician. My wife is a doctor of physical therapy who owns her own business. Most of her job is marketing and paperwork. If you want to throw the title Business Owner in front of a career title, I'd still suggest E

    I know someone considering similar. 4.0 high school gpa. I'm urging him not to waste his abilities on technician work. I am not telling him to study Art History, but urging him to study Electrical Engineering instead of Electrician. An

    This looks like an SEO grab. Lots of key words all over the page. Did anyone find anything useful? Some basic programming language advice... Is this an HN Affiliate?

    Excel is a bad database? I think OP was overly trying to be critical of popular things. Wix is a website with database features, having a back end has purpose. Using Excel as a traditional database is not what Excel does. Excel is often goo

    Apple claims to be pro privacy, it's one of their last differentiators. But if this falls, it's an overpriced cheap Android IMO

    I've already stopped using Amazon. They are significantly more expensive than Walmart. Which is new, this was not true 4 years ago. They don't have the selection of stores like digikey. They lost their purpose completely. I only
