   Google puts 1 restriction, they are the enemy. Apple has created priopritary connectors, closed off systems, paid barriers to entry, and banning apps from their store. Where is Apple and Microsoft on the scale from Friend to Enemy?

   I'm not sure when AWS became the standard, but the programming communities have lots of young kids learning their first backends on AWS. Im not sure this is a good thing, having a generation of developers dependent on a single companie

   Same. There is this pessimist view that Google is evil. In my life, Google is the single best entity I'm aware of. Incredible amounts of free stuff that makes my life better. Any addiction to their platform has been due to bliss.

   This is something I need. What alternatives exist? 30 dollars isn't bad, but communities of support are also nice.

   Shame on who? Apple? Or the customer for buying a product they can't use without braking apples rules? Who is committing the evil?

   Is there any proof this happens? The hacked thing is about as scary as it gets, but companies need to keep customers happy. Btw, ad block is not a solution. Short sighted to mention that.

   I use Shift for coffee purchases and don't pay fees. People built on top of Bitcoin.

   Hmm a stalking victim could not use Android / Google maps. This sounds like potential for profit. Interesting. I'm assuming this already exists but 95% of people don't need it?

   Why? Don't you want to hear your different lawyer options, STD check options, gun options, alcohol help, etc? Or rather, would you rather have useful advertisement or spammy advertisement? I still could not relate that those would be b

    Edit, remember not to shoot the people asking questions I'm not sure why that data is so horrifying. I work a job that I willing put on Facebook, and I live in a house i am a registered voter at. You can probably guess my route to work

    That's a fair critique adding birth control. But look up Matriarchy. There are lots of shades.

    My suggestion is to keep a few close friends for these times. I don't find it hard, but I genuinely enjoy my friends.

    By the way, this might seem revolutionary, but there are plenty of societies ( in history) that didn't have rule by Men and an awakening of feminism. The studies I'm familiar with didn't mention loneliness, but rather the soc

    Apple has their own apps. Do they collect data on children? Will they let some high profile devs slip by? Apple is known to be anti consumer.

    Humans never do. Trump's Russian propagandists is a classic example. This just gives Apple more power to pick winners and losers

    But all Apple apps will continue to do this? You really need to drink the Apple koolaid to think this changes anything.

    Go ahead then. My website is unprofitable but it's a conversation piece. Did my website get me a 6 figure job or my undergrad in engineering?

    1 out of 10 masters classes changed my life. I imagine my peers had 0/10. A masters degree doesn't pay in dollars, but experience that can set you apart in the future.

    Academia is not the real world, and they always seem to be struggling to be Useful. A generalist who can program, market, and run a business is likely going to be better at making good decisions over someone with only 1 of those skills. For

    I study food and I find processed food is lower calorie per dollar, than their fresh alternatives. It's contrary to advertisments who make you think you are saving money by buying "cheap processed foods".
