False. The Japanese language itself doesn't really have any swear words let alone the culture being averse to using any swear words in public.

There aren't any real swear words in Japanese. So no it's not just an American thing.

I like the fact that Mozilla is honest with the comparison test video and actually shows Chrome being faster than Firefox on a few sites (e.g., Instagram and YouTube).

Have you used Apple Maps recently? It's not that bad anymore. Just because they had bad press about it 5 years ago doesn't mean the product is still stuck in 2012.

I think Bay Area's tap water tastes fine. To each his own.

by toephu2 9y ago
San Francisco Bay Area tap water is safe to drink and is held to a lot higher safety standard than bottled water. Also the source of most bottled-water is no different than the source for tap. Bottled-water is often priced at a 2000%+ marku

Obviously? No, don't have so much faith in your ability to read other people on the internet. I am not a web dev. I was in a previous life (years before bootcamps even existed).

Maybe you read too much into my statement, I am not a web dev. I was in a previous life (years before bootcamps even existed).

You are one datapoint. Again, take that survey with a grain of salt. Like someone mentioned above, if you want real data just go look at bls.gov or get a rough idea at h1bdata.info and search by city

Wow you sound like a real joy to work with. I don't think you've learned to step out of the shoes of an engineer and put yourself in the shoes of an average consumer or the company selling a new phone. The average consumer does no

Multiple users are not a common use-case. Everyone* over the age of 12 has their own phone. I doubt Apple will add that feature anytime soon. *By everyone I mean the majority of people in first world countries, some second, and third.

That is somewhat true, I believe attempted murder sentences are lighter than actual murder sentences.

Why would anyone base their decision off one anecdotal piece of evidence from a rando on HN? P.S. I sold the 10 bitcoins I mined at $5 (got a $50 amazon gift card). Woulda, coulda, shoulda, e.g., "I should have bought AAPL at $XX"
