Would be great - just once - to read a discussion on HN that didn’t drag in an attack on Apple.
Guess that’s too much to hope for.
- Analemma_ 4y agoThey are the most valuable company in the world. Like it or not, it's entirely reasonable to use them as the go-to example when examining and/or illustrating the effects of capitalism.
- nomel 4y agoMy friend works at Apple. He doesn't tell anyone, if he can help it. He says "in tech" and "I'd rather not say". I didn't believe why until I witnessed him mentioning where he worked at a social gathering. All interesting conversation, within ear-shot, came to a halt, with most proceeding to apologetically shit on Apple for the next 15 minutes. When we would move to a new group of people, someone from the previous group would end up bringing it up. Seems like a great place to work, and do good engineering, besides the downside that you, apparently, can't tell anyone.
- midoridensha 4y agoWhat kind of weird social gathering was this? A group of die-hard Linux fanatics? (And I say that as one myself) In most circles, especially "progressive" Americans, Apple is the tech darling. They *all* have iPhones and refuse to even look at Android phones because they don't want to have the wrong color circle in their SMS chats (SMS... how quaint).
