Here's the tact that I take on HN: If you disagree with me but you don't tell me why then I automatically assume that you have nothing good to say because my argumentation is unassailable. Therefore, it's a win for me. Not ev

So if I want a full-blown virtual machine I can put that on "my" phone right? Oh wait Apple controls that too. I guess in the absence of allowing us to have full-blown virtual machines we'll have to settle for asking Apple to

Imagine if you had to disable one feature toggle though? Better yet: imagine if they were only optionally enabled when you added the PWA to your home screen?? Seems like we could both easily have exactly what we want.

I changed my diet and my stress level. Eat at regular times, learn to let go (it helps to see the big picture and remember that you'll be dead before long) and add some probiotics to your gut. Eating lots of Kimchi and Kombucha helped

Yeah and the same goes the other way too. Don't be surprised if the heavily bearded middle eastern guy won't invest with men who they think look like women or who have made known their opinions about grooming. Don't be surpri

The overwhelming majority of people on Windows are there because Microsoft bent over backwards to give businesses what they needed so that they could beat out Apple and IBM to win the desktop wars of the 80s and 90s. If businesses had never

So the problem is that unkempt looking people have created code that this person has to deal with?? Oh, and every single person who has hair on their neck looks unkempt, without exception, am I hearing that right? Sure, OK.

> neck-beard What's wrong with hair growing on your neck if it grows there? It's completely natural. I know that this is slang/shorthand, but I don't agree with it at all. I work with plenty of people who have unruly

Nobody, especially not Apple, decides something like that in one email or even a single conversation. Also this is the company that goes to great pains to hide what everybody can see about their plans. Keep that in mind. Obviously , This i

No it doesn't. Not even a little bit. That's a go ahead email. That's not an email showing the conception of the idea. We already had app stores on phones before this. You think they didn't come up with the idea until th

I thought this said Bing mail at first sight. Why is there no Bing mail? I guess Microsoft doesn't want to cannibalize their Outlook offering... but Bing mail would probably appeal to an entirely different crowd.

I want an OS with a web based UI. I've never seen a native kit as flexible or easy to use as any modern web engine. What's your complaint?
