Why can't you? Compiling iOS apps? Otherwise anything an Apple product can do, a competitor does cheaper and better.

Given Apple's less than ethical history, I'm not sure it's reasonable to give them benefit of doubt. They might have an excuse that fans can believe, but the real reason is to suppress bad press.

This has everything to do with marketing, not hardware or OS or usability. Just because someone is talented in CS, doesn't mean they can defend themselves from Marketing. I imagine advanced users want full control over settings and pro

Can we call it a cartel market instead of private markets? The various healthcare leaders use their wealth to strengthen their position through laws. Most sectors cannot operate like US medical, they are their own beast.

I never understood the reason an advanced user would buy an Apple product. Is it compiling iOS apps for other people? Given the high price and lack of qualities, I don't imagine many advanced users would buy anything from Apple.

AWS seems like it would be expensive long term. Between my issues with AWS currently and the exterior look of Amazon, I'm skeptical AWS is a good solution.

The private sector goes out of business. The government lives until it collapses.

Your surprise that this happens under democracy- does that change your political views? It doesn't change mine. The government is notorious for being corrupt and inefficient. I hear this and it makes me horrified of the thought of gove

The difference is extremely noticable. So yes. I can open up 2 tabs and Firefox is still loading the page.

Ahh the good ol HN "stop using Google and start using Firefox" advertisement. It's a bit odd to see this in every Google thread. Btw, Firefox is too slow.

I think this is a bad way to gauge an economy. If you want to look at why people are poor, I would look towards corruption rather than merely inequality. Or maybe people in a country are poor on paper but can afford a hundred dollars of lux

It's hard to understand why the stock is soaring. I don't think it has to do with sales. Is it from inflation of USD due to the federal reserve? Is it a bubble with current owners fomo? I really don't think it's Tesla be

Hasn't Japan already gone through the course?

This makes sense to me, but I don't see democratic countries able to stop themselves before it's too late. What comes after? This exact problem is why I liked Bitcoin a few years ago. Although with the scaling issues, it seems les

I've noticed this too, and as a result I cannot trust Google maps. Is there any competitor I can check to confirm best routes?

Maybe it's by design? You aren't their target demographic. People that do spend money on a cup of fast coffee would realize it's fine for their budget, and associate whatever offer with something affordable.

The chem Engineer in me hates the general word "Chemical". It's not descriptive, any (macro) matter is classified as chemical. I find the words used to describe plastics is equally poor. Is it nylon? Is it a polyurethane? Is

I'm not sure how Ubuntu desktop became the standard for Linux desktop. I love Ubuntu server, but some quick issues with Ubuntu desktop- Netflix needs a hard to install plugin, mouse acceleration cannot be disabled completely, unstable

Remember when physicians said they should be the only ones to give out antibiotics for our safety? Can we totally kill that excuse for their monopoly? We trusted the physician cartel for decades and they have made healthcare worse.

This will either increase the price of insurance or cause people to take monthly trips to neighboring states. Price ceilings don't work, I don't quite understand how people are elected when they don't understand high school l

Medicare isn't one gigantic entity though. You get a Medicare provider, with an insurance company that you work with. Yeah there's lots of layers of bureaucracy.
