Not exactly your argument, but I much prefer the App Store to something like Google's Play Store. App Store, even though it has its issues, is a lot better simply because there is more oversight. There have been numerous cases where ma

It looks like, as long as the app can use the API, it'll stay updated for iOS 11 (the author states he updated it as soon as he could), and so it'll likely function for a while.

As much as it sucks for the author, if you're providing a service or app on top of another service (like providing a better way to browse a website's content or API) you're really at the mercy of that service provider, especi

Sorry, yes, it's only for rentals (the state govt isn't paying for the upkeep of a private home's AC). I just looked up about the laws in Florida (it's been a few years) and realized it's not about providing AC dire

No, it's not about the comparison of people who are in hot temps to hurricane victims. It's about the root cause, which is global warming, that causes both, and because of that they don't deserve sympathy because of the posit

Dude, there's no reason to make his words political. Texas gets temps like this regularly, and thankfully they built their houses with AC, but some probably have dealt with not having AC for some part of the summer (in places like Texa

The needing your phone with you, yes, but not the 70 hours part. If you have to work 70 hours as an ops your employer is too stingy to get another ops.

If I were to sell my soul to work insane hours (80+ per week) I'd work in finance instead of software development. The prospects of making it big in software are pretty slim, even with "hustle", because the important thing is

One thing I hate is when apps do this to get information about your contacts, not only because they get who you personally know (and their phone number, email, other info in the contact) but also contacts for businesses you regularly might

I have a little apprehension about the fact the information about these people is a little nebulous (the white paper actually has a little more info than their website but the seemingly most qualified person is the CTO, because the CEO has

I agree about Bill Nye, that he's more of a science educator than expert about any one specific topic, but Tyson is definitely an expert on astrophysics. He talks about a lot of stuff that he isn't an expert in because he's a

Of course you couldn't take what they did and publish it, but it's good enough to explain a concept to a large group of people (and maybe, sure, on such a small scale it's not possible and was that 25% chance of happening). D

Yes, to sign up for pretty much any service you have to have either a cell phone contract or a bank account, both of which require a government ID. You don't need to do this to sign up for a forum, but if you want to sign up for someth

I'll edit it to say that Google is the gatekeeper, not the only ones that hold caches.

Google created it to consolidate control of content on their platform to get people to get used to a specific UI provided by Google. There are other companies that hold caches, but the design and implementation is essentially chosen by Goog

How did Guggy get into YC? It's going to become another Yik Yak, where it has a lot of users and growth but no strategy for monetization (users aren't gonna accept ads in their text messages, for example).

I just looked it up. They don't use it for the entire app, but they do use it for specific parts [1]. Since this was written over a year ago I wouldn't be surprised if more was converted. 1: https://code.facebook.com&#x

> sue over software patents The grant isn't specifically about software patents, it's about all patents.

by yladiz 9y ago
Wow, that's a 250% increase... I feel like that price is due to pricing the research into it rather than the cost of the actual product itself. Ideally if the tech becomes mandatory it won't be a significant increase.

I mean, beyond this specific issue, it does seem they were infringing on the patent, so he has a right to sue to stop it being sold or get royalties from new and previous sales. I think this tech should be mandatory in all saws, but I also
