Yeah, we tried going to iPad for our kids but it’s so full of free to play junk. Even with Amazon Kids, though, the games are still their free to play selves without purchases, so I still see these games where dopamine hits (get coins!) are

Woah, that is news to me! What’s strange is that iOS gives you no indication of where that sound is coming from…I guess I expected to be able to pause it somehow. Interesting, though!

I'm surprised investors aren't more scared of the competition, particularly Microsoft and its Teams product that is part of Office 365. Maybe it's not a huge deal because the overlap of Slack customers and Office 365 customer

Wow - if you're Type 1 and have an A1C in the "high threes"...you're definitely one of those exceptional patients. Your A1C is probably better than some non-diabetics! I could see why you have a pretty high threshold for

Would you consider non-trivial install scripts as an exception to this general rule? I mean, you wouldn't write some install script in ruby or python, right?

This is insane - is there any "expert" speculation out there on when this will all collapse? Before or after the new year...?

Definitely, but they keep it pretty vague. I'm assuming they're not just counting felonies, but also maybe someone who had some minor incident when they were a teenager. I could see a lot of parents having some stupid minor on the

This is cool - one item I think is wrong/misunderstood is Big Data > Data Lake Store. It has nothing to do with ETL, it's basically just "HDFS in the cloud" [1] and a successor to using blob storage/regular old s

While the actual change/patch is interesting, I found the long discussion and process to get it merged pretty interesting. It seemed to get bit tense at times in the "competition" between the two developers, but it seemed to

Source? I thought Google's cars used many sensors as well and weren't just a "follow this high-fidelity map and hope it's correct!" technology.

They at least have external pictures of the "rig" on the main landing page: https://aws.amazon.com/snowmobile/

I love how this is a literal trailer pulled by a truck - see the pictures at https://aws.amazon.com/snowmobile/ . I wish they gave more details as to what hardware was in there - are there any pictures of what the trail

I've always assumed Stevia hasn't taken off yet because that means companies have to spend money on trying to rework "flavor profiles" to work with Stevia. I long for a Stevia-powered Coke Zero...until they realize Stevi

I'd be more interested in understanding why they chose to implement their own file system instead of adopting something like ZFS. No doubt there is reasoning in there besides the "we are an evil company" logic - Apple develop

Well, a little more nuanced than that. I'd argue the convenience of getting books at the touch of a button outweighs some of its inconveniences (battery, etc.).

Two questions that I still have on this: (1) Does the public accept that the FBI is even telling the truth on this (i.e., did they actually "break into" this iPhone)? (2) If they did gain access to the iPhone's info, was it a

Agreed, and it's basically like watching Battlecruiser 3000AD [1] happen all over again... "Battlecruiser 3000AD (also known as BC3K on Usenet) is a science fiction computer game, noted for its long, troubled development history.&

The video has me thinking this is foreshadowing some new type of warehouse. Maybe Amazon is going to make a "life size" version of this. Now if this is efficient in any way - no idea.

Everyone has their thing, and I definitely see the appeal to urban living when you're young and have time to yourself. Why anyone would want to live in a highrise or in a dense city when they have children, though, over having your own

I was with you until the "well paying jobs" part. Are they well paying in relation to the insane real estate prices? When I hear of developers getting $80-100k in SF, that sounds...not great.

Agree that harassment isn't the way to go about this, but I think we can put a good amount of blame on the individual here - selfish water usage doesn't seem like a great idea in California.

Agreed - I think the key point is where he says he's fortunate enough to be able to do this (sacrifice the possible income of this app). Why bother with all of the political mess (much of it from "the internet" I'm sure)

Not really sure that is sufficient evidence to say Apple routers "aren't popular".

I'd argue that the "faceless office building" portion isn't really an issue. They're nice enough on the inside, and when you're deep in work you probably don't notice too often. The worst part is probably

How is this more e-waste than a typical laptop? Aren't Apple laptops known for being highly recyclable and using less harmful materials overall? If you're saying more easily repairable laptops would stick around longer, I'm n
