In the US it's mostly iMessage, and that includes people who say it's not mostly iMessage. iPhones are more expensive, on average, for a similar or worse experience. The thing that drives iphone sales is social. People want iPhone

Arguably they even gain more money in the long run, because more people have access to their entertainment and they have more opportunities to form life long connections with consumers.

Windows basically barely works, and I would know because I use it daily at work. Core operating system components crash regularly. My task bar crashes a couple times a day, and takes explorer down with it. Sometimes the start menu just won&

All operating systems have bugs, and Apple doesn't have the QA it used to have. MacOS has basically been exclusively trending down in quality for a while now, while Linux continues to get better. What you have to realize is that what L

It makes sense that you use Windows in a video game company. We use windows as well at work and it's absolutely awful for development. I would really prefer a Linux desktop, especially since we exclusively deploy to Linux.

Because cars are intrinsicly an inefficient mode of transportation, even if other forms also cause this problem it would still be orders of magnitude less than cars.

Non stick pans are perfectly safe to use. But, if you're worried, just avoid very high temperatures and use wooden utensils on them, never metal.

Not the commenter, but my take: Women are taught from a young age of how to engage with their role in a patriarchal society. This includes caretaking, nurturing, and having patience for men. It's not uncommon for young girls to be give

It's not a question of marketing, it's a question of progressivism. We expanded job opportunities for women by telling them they can do anything, be anything, and he just as good as men at it. That they're built for anything,

Yes, the main difference being we have no systems in place to deal with that for men. Or, the broader societal context: men have never had a progressive movement.

Well then given that one side is "the situation remains neutral or very slightly improves" and the other side is "unthinkable atrocities", I think it's only rational to focus on the "unthinkable atrocities"

It's not just that Microsoft keeps lowering the bar, although they do. Linux desktops have also improved A LOT, especially in the last 10 years. We're at the point where UI-wise they run laps around Windows, and often even MacOS.

It's a race to the bottom. In SV we're seeing this perception (delusion?) of a Brave New World in which there are two peoples: the permeant underclass of serfs, and the elite. Everyone is clawing and crab-bucketing to escape, what

I disagree, most webapps, like 99.9% I would say, are just forms, links, and pages. Meaning, they can be done with 0 reactivity and that is the most simple and straightforward way to do it. Less code is basically always better, so if you ca

It's not that bad for you, but it's definitely not good for you. It's not a very good source of protein and it's fairly calorie dense. It can also be quite high in saturated fat and red meat is a carcinogenic. Obviously

Law enforcement can act on that information, but they can do a lot of things. Whether they actually are is a different question. You're also ignoring the risk here. These devices open up a whooooole new class of mistakes that can b

You cannot tell if code is actually reachable if it depends on runtime input. Those really evil bugs are the ones that exist in code paths that only trigger 0.001% of the time. Often, the code path is not triggerable at all with regular inp
