Exactly. It’s an abstraction, you will always be a few libraries and components away from implementing what you actually want, but that’s a lot to build on just to use a system provided tool. For instance, I’m working on upgrading my compan

Correct. Every React Native component actually renders into a native view, so on iOS if you use a View (RN) it maps to a UIView when React Native actually builds the UI.

Yes, that is certainly possible. It doesn’t have to be 100% either way, you could do any combination of React Native and proper Native you want.

I think they're trying to say that the democracy is now worse because we have a leader who is lying to the media, threatening voting rights based on unsupported claims, silencing scientists from sharing publicly funded research, and is

Even if they don't sell it, their business model requires that they have access to it. Apple's argument here is that they don't have it.

A good precedent has already been set for this. The first iPhone got two major updates, iOS 4.0 being the first version that didn't support it. The 3GS added an extra year to the lifespan, launching with iOS 3.0 and only being left out

I think there is a public image component to Ive as well. The image of Jobs' era at Apple is Ive and him running the show. As great as Tim Cook is doing in the CEO position, Ive is still seen by many as the remaining influence of Jobs.

I really like Estimote, but it seems like they're selling premium hardware in a space that's racing to the bottom. Most beacons really don't need the temperature sensors or accelerometers. I finally got my nearables order las

Correct. You cannot just sign up and get a free 1 PM cloud storage account. The more registered users you have, the more storage space you are allocated. If you go over your allowed storage space you start moving into the paid tier.

The goal isn't to be secure. As far as I understand it would basically be similar to Starbuck's current mobile payment service, where the scanner reads the code which maps directly to an account and processes the transaction. No t
