Thanks, Wowfunhappy person. :) Much more to come. The long ones are too tiring.

Until you want to add keywords... But you're right otherwise.

We were proud of it given the circumstances. I'll edit the quote below to make that more clear. "So, we shipped the product and introduced it at the show as planned. Despite a long list of warts and terrible performance, I thought

Or perhaps concern with having to deal with 3rd party iMessage/Facetime clients while at the same time trying to maintain a high level of security. Apple doesn’t want anything to tarnish the security reputation of these products.

Then, a few years down the road, it’ll have slid down the slippery slope to include anything that could hurt someone’s feelings. This has been what’s happened to all of society over the past few decades and Facebook and Twitter will be no d

What happened was he tried to get in and the one security guard told him he dad to be escorted by an employee, just as the sign said. Hundreds of people do this every day, thinking they will be able to see the campus on the inside. The only

Related teams tend to sit close to each other in any case, so this is a worst case scenario. Which isn’t really that bad anyways. It’s good exercise and a rectangular building holding 14,000 people would also require a lot of walking. Sure,

"Plus, there are thorny issues like how to dispose of radioactive waste and how to decommission old plants." The fact is, we're creating tremendous amounts of potentially dangerous waste and we have no long-term plan, much le

I don’t think we need this petition. The current and last administration have always honored and protected whistleblowers. It’s not like they would take their passports and run them out of the country or anything.

I think most people just don’t care about the personal life of a creator when evaluating its content. Even deplorable people can have good ideas. Why reject the ideas because of the source.

So I’m a fucking moron if I read something in its entirely that you didn’t actually completely read? Got it. And benzos aren’t amphetamines. They are in the neighborhood of being the opposite. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

People seem to forget history and the fact that statements like this have pretty much always been wrong. There’s always something that supposed to replace something else and throw people out of work. Plus, robots are cute.

Why can’t it be leaked? The software needs to be created and installed on the device. Even if it’s entirely in Apple hands, there’s no guarantee it will ever be leaked. It wouldn’t need editing. It’s intended to disable the timeout when bru

Then it will shift somewhere else. Or being invested in countries where savings and investment are rewarded rather than punished.

People think Steve was arrogant, but this guy takes the cake. Steve would always thank the whole team and everyone involved when a product was introduced. I believe at Pixar (couldn’t find a reference) that he pushed for everyone at the com

If this article is completely true, it’s sad to hear he would never pilot a train again even if exonerated. That sounds like how teachers are treated if a student accuses them of impropriety and their careers are over even if they are innoc

How do people already know that? Is there a link you could provide?

Saying "Paleo is Stupid" will definitely get more people to read your article. Which is apparently about educating people about saving the planet through food choices. So, educate people, don’t insult them.

So instead of buying a $1.1m house in Miami-Dade, I’ll be two at $750k each. Bravo.

I think the positive benefit of this effort will likely be undermined (and it’s already underway) by reactionary comments from uninformed people. They'll play well to people that already know the TPP sucks, but not from those on the fe

I’ve seen a lot more success with the "hire smart people and get out of the way" methodology of managment. If you allow people the freedom to work together and make their own decisions in a mature manner, you don’t need these chil

I agree that part of the motivation for people supporting zoning is to preserve or increase their property values. But I think that people that spend a huge chunk of change on a house should care about preserving the neighborhood they bough

Inflation is good for debt holders, because they can pay off their debts with devalued money. Inflation is bad for those that save and invest because they have to earn a higher rate of return to offset inflation. Traditional economics tells

I had trouble getting past the first sentence. That NYC has the finest skyline in the world is a fact? Well, I think it’s ugly and uninspiring. And that’s not a fact. Also, seems extremely odd to not just ask developers why they don’t build

It’s a lot easier to kick Google to the curb when they’re not shipping a product and likely never will.

Why is that more offensive? What if they were all startup founders or created companies that made profound and positive change? At what point is the cross-over between being reasonably and unreasonably wealthy? If they have too much money a
