And in all 3 cases, the Google equivalents are worse. History shows they’ll probably just be replaced with a different product to solve the same problem which will be worse in its …

Not so much that you’ve missed something or are mistaken, but Reddit is likely promoting those subs because they’re some of the only active high quality (I.e. not bots/astroturfing…

Shouldn’t your friend be monitoring his kid’s usage? Why is everything always some government/capitalist entity’s responsibility?

You're right, not sure why the doubt in the edit. Different [areas/data points/anecdotes] will no doubt yield different results. The suburbs are very different than the neighborhoo…

No doubt there's some of this given the ridiculous photos I get through the "take a picture" feature that Amazon, DoorDash, and others believe substitutes for actually validating d…

They have no idea how to disrupt last mile delivery without corruption and theft. They’ve tried. My apartment building’s doorbox has Amazon Key, such that drivers have the ability …

The theft problem doesn’t vary at all in Chicago. I’m in a North (west) Side neighborhood and receive about 83% of Amazon packages, with the rest being stolen or just not delivered…

Google is basically acknowledging they don’t want and or care about portfolio/small utility/first time project apps on their store. This obviously isn’t a great look, especially wh…

What he’s basically saying here is “I’d rather let my personal opinion prevail than responsibly disclose and get some vulnerabilities fixed.” Even if, at their worst, Apple is as p…

It's very strange because like OP, huge fanboy. Early on it felt wrong to also burden Cupertino with being a cultural leader, but somewhere around $1.0T+ market cap, that has evolv…

Obviously is super valuable, but overreliance on internal promotion can lead to not built here syndrome and rather close minded growth, esp if the co has a strong enough recruiting…

> it leaves out quite a bit of agency from the employee Good catch. Of course it does, as the easiest and most lazy trend in software engineering thinkpieces is to blame middle man…

> I feel like in order to patent a thing, you should need have to have a credible implementation of the thing being patented. Reduction to practice is absolutely a requirement of p…

Eh, I think it’s somewhat of a big deal because (to stick with your analogy), just like football, it can be all consuming if left unchecked. I’d argue it’s because the anti-Apple z…

I’ve worked on both platforms for over a decade. Gruber’s conclusions are spot on.

It functionally is. Many of those who have not learned from history are so anti-Apple (or possibly subpar webdevs) that they completely ignore the lessons we've previously learned …

Ugh, this is a classic example of skewed logic going way too far before the underlying truth can catch up. I am in tech management (also a recovering attorney) who routinely conduc…

Yeah, the author is definitely racially problematic: all her references to Indian/Asian students claim their success is due to merit, hard work and the like (“diligence and ambitio…

> while no one is allowed to compete with Apple for iOS customers. This is basically the core question in Epic vs Apple, wherein the court has ruled that "iOS Customers" is not the…

> I wonder if that would run into net neutrality-type issues It absolutely would. Who is Apple or anyone on HN to tell one developer that their app is more important/costly/uses hi…

And I can tell an unprofessional web script kiddie based on whether they advocate browser monoculture.

Just curious, but why wouldn’t one expect reliably repeat customers to be treated with increased consideration in these circumstances? Seems to me this is true in pretty much every…

Guess what? No one does or should care about your opinion of Apple’s software restrictions or corporate philosophy here. As per the article, those visiting the comments were primar…
