Outside of the "cult of Mac", people aren't really convinced on a $1000 laptop-ish device, on which apps are only allowed to run after passing an anal probe from the app store review team. Which is why Apple stopped reporting

I don't understand. Regardless of COVID, they always need to consider the impact on developers. Like I said in my previous comment, the newly remote Chrome team may be facing many unseen roadblocks, but I expect that to be a temporal w

Remote work now is likely lower in productivity than normal-times WFH. If a software company cannot adjust to remote delivery, albeit at lower than normal productivity, the rest of the economy has no hope. I don't understand Google&#x2

France seem to be one of the few countries willing to openly challenge Apple's hegemony, be it planned obscelence, or colluding with distributors. Why isn't the EU enacting this at the continent level? And why is the US asleep at

All it took to curb his inner price gouging criminal and bring out the philanthropist was a teeny weeny criminal investigation. What a model citizen!

The only person taking anything I said out of context is you. I've been very specific about the 7% estimate being unique to Italy, replete with a source. I've never claimed that to be the overall wordlwide mortality rate, so read

Italy has both universal health coverage and sick leave policies, but is still reeling with a 7% mortality rate [1] and crisis. Neither replaces good leadership and policy/decision making by public health officials, and certainly has Z

The article fails to ask the obvious next question: if this can potentially apply to much cheaper and instantaneous tests, maybe something ultrasound based? I'm not an expert on medical imagining, so can someone comment on ultrasounds

I'd rather have a sustainable Gilead, with a strong moral compass that prices things fairly, to invent the next antiviral. But the middlemem and insurance companies add ZERO value - invent nothing, treat/cure no one. They're

Almost certainly a lie. What would techcrunch write about, if the founders said something banal? Revisionist, sexy origin stories are a proven way of getting free press. Somewhere, these guys are actually confessing how much free press thei

If approved for treatment, I hope this is fairly priced, given that the CDC predicts 40M infections in the US. Just to be clear, pricing ultimately comes down to insurance companies, middlemen taking a cut, and a government mandate that can

Why 50/50? It should take on the statistics of causations of chirality. And based on that, one might be able to guess the exact location and orientation of the meteorite when these chemicals were formed

Even at it's peak monopoly, Microsoft wasn't as evil or delusional as Apple. It's suffocating to stay inside the "walled garden" of a deeply unethical, trillion dollar mega-corp, with zero self awareness of how much

Interesting strategy of name-calling people with opposing opinions, without offering a shred of evidence in favor of your argument. And somehow, that isn't unhinged, for society has to believe in the intrinsic benevolence of a trilli

Too little! The cost of replacing an iPhone dwarfs $25. The reason they settled was likely due to guilt, because proving innocence is cheaper than $500M. They should not be allowed to get away with a slap on the wrist
