I have zero problem with the fail-fast, fail-earlier strategy and attitude. ultimately it's business. there is no point to continue if it's obviously not going to work. there is a catch though: do fail because of innovation (crazy

I don't think the fruit company will approve apps programmed other than objc or swift.

I totally agree with the article except one thing: it's much much more a pleasant experience to code iOS app than Android, even without considering the fragmentation problem.

it's a dumb only because it failed. will you do it again if the conversion/reply rate was good? If I were you, i'll probably setup a competition project repo, invite folks to contribute, only do the sales pitch after they are

Well done! I hope Google would do the same when related to NSA and other 3 letters agencies. when was the last time Google made headline of hn for its technology?

absolutely! In general I trust pure commercial organisations more than govt. and non-profit orgs.

according to my understanding, there is no "fact" in science. there are observations, hypotheses (and null hypotheses if related to stats) and theories. i think "fact" is used in the article as theories or hypotheses tha

which comes first, a good consumer product or a healthy ecosystem around it? it's a positive feedback loop thing in later stage but product always comes first. it's not a big secret but only few nailed it occasionally in a decade.

Were Steve Jobs, John Ive, Tim Cook and other Apple guys crystal clear about the theory when they started iPod/iPhone? I don't think so. Apple has a unique weapon called design and is willing to pay whatever it costs to enhance it

I think Liu is more inline with Isaac Asimov than Arthur Clarke. Liu is clearly an atheist and intentionally avoid cheap reading gratification achieved by science-religion association. My complaint about Liu: he has a silly admiration tow

I stopped reading Ni Kuang's work since 14. I'd consider comparing Ni Kuang with Liu a serious offence to Liu's readers. In my opinion, the second and third instalments of The Three Body Problem are as good as the Foundatio

"This is something that I’ve [p]raised directly with President Xi," Obama said.

I'm no fan of either Obama or W, but I do think your comment is unfair. The truth is, given the peak status US enjoyed, there is no foreign policy would bring meaningful and tangible benefit to people of USA. It's a typical dim

emacs doesn't have decent support of jsx: the jsx-mode is actually for another tech with same name, the js2-mode is great except xml support. i love vim a lot (use evil in emacs), except vimscript. I hope oneday I could use neovim with
