Honestly, I think this makes it an even better analogy! Apple is exactly like the dealership groups suing Tesla to prevent them from selling directly to consumers.

I'm using a 2018 model-year Samsung 4k smart TV. I'm pretty sure it's running Tizen OS and it's surprisingly good. I'm doing sound out via ARC to a Sonos Beam in a 5.0 with the IKEA/Sonos speakers as rears. So

This is the source of a low-impact but still interesting scam: Scammer signs up for netflix free trial with "your" email (but it's really some new combination with different dots). Scammer runs out the free trial. YOU get a

I just watched the video and maybe I missed it but doesn't that mean that in order to have 1ms latency you'd have to have a screen refresh rate of 1000 frames per second? That seems like it would cause serious cost increases for d

"Somebody will do something you deem immoral whether you participate or note" is not a strong argument for why you should actually participate. It's clear that the authors of the US Constitution believed that it should be dif

I'm not sure that Microsoft sees it that way. The direction they're going with XCloud and XBox Game Pass seems to me that they're interested in strongly diversifying on software as a service while selling XBox hardware as com

Sorry, I am not arguing that developers shouldn't be allowed to pick their payment processor on iOS, just doing some back-of-the-envelope math that tracked with the quote from the original article that 30% is not much higher than the p

This is something I hadn't thought about until the article pointed it out. According to the first link in google ( https://www.braze.com/blog/in-app-purchase-stats/ ) the average iOS IAP in 2017 was $1.08. If y

I think this is exactly right.

This doesn't seem like a productive line of questioning. If you have research that shows what you're trying to claim is happening I'd be happy to read it and share my thoughts on it.

Sorry if I was unclear. I did not mean to imply any specific motivation of yours . That being said, the example you used is a dog whistle commonly used by folks whose motivations I have no problem imagining, and it is used to perpetrate

I'm not the OC but many of my friends and peers are trans and I find "agender" to be the most useful descriptor to myself. One thing I've noted is that once you start to identify the ways in which gender is fundamentally

I've flagged this comment but I also feel the need to write a response because this kind of uncritical dog-whistle is something that actively contributes to violence against trans people. There's no evidence to suggest that trans

I don't think the CA Judge disputed that Uber could have a relationship with drivers that was legally structured as "independent contractor" but rather that the relationship Uber currently has with drivers does not meet t

I had this same reaction. Definitely feels like most of what we’re doing with “the modern” web is probably wrong.

Fair enough. I went to school in a predominantly evangelical suburb in San Diego county. The same parents who staged a national day of prayer on public elementary school grounds were also in a group that sued the district over their morning

You're missing my point. Generalizing any one instance of one school district and one Christian sect's objection to their curriculum to all of the US just doesn't work. While I was of school age it was still the TX state curr

Not to start a flame war over book choice but forcing kids to read the Bible, Homer's Iliad, and Shakespeare are probably what is causing such marked disinterest in the first place. There are so many interesting and valuable works of w

This reads to me as a stunning indictment of social networks and profit more than it does a defense of Reddit's board choice and their potential motivations.

If you had scrolled down a bit on the Wikipedia article you might have found a rather well cited section that shows the causal link you imply here is extremely weak in follow-up studies. Sure you can say intuitively "if people see crim

Or as other vectors for advertising. Stadia store sells ad space to game companies. Google Home is a speaker capable of playing ads (or more subtly giving paid-for answers to questions) etc.

Yeah, I'm curious if a Camry is mid-sized what a full size is. Taurus? Those things are absolutely massive. My Ford Focus feels big, honestly, but maybe that's because I live in a relatively urban area with pretty tight street par
