Wow, what city is this? > I've filed bugs Was that using Radar? Did you try using the "Report an Issue" UI within the Maps app itself?

One of the perl guys (maybe Larry Wall?) said the same thing at a talk once about companies using perl but not wanting anyone to know it because it was a such a time saver they con…

Welcome to the 21st century, where quality, accuracy, and precision are sacrificed at the altar of "scale".

Not that he's wrong about open-source abandonware, but that's rather an overstatement. No significant amount of his code remains in any modern browser, and when the engine that eve…

iOS already has the "Trust this computer?" dialog[1], but this sounds like it disables the port to the point where the dialog wouldn't even appear and no connection could get throu…

> China has effectively been waging a trade war with the US for the past 20 years. ... America just hasn’t responded—which I find baffling. "Hasn't responded"? It was America's ide…

I'm not so sure. Developers may be excited at the chance to forgo the App Store / Play Store, but will users get onboard? They've had 10 years of training to download an app from a…

I agree with most of what you wrote, and I do think it was the right call for them to implement this feature for iPhones with batteries having trouble, and I agree most if not all …

> A third line of attack is likely to become important soon, perhaps as soon as next year. Former Facebook executive (yes, another dissident insider) Antonio Garcia-Martinez argued…

> I wait for the day this page exists: > https://www.apple.com/paying_taxes/ Not quite what you mean, but there's this, just posted within the last month: https://www.apple.com/new…

This will only become more common once vehicles are self-driving. People will live in their vehicles and have them either drive around all night or find a place to park many hours …

I refuse to believe a single number about the online ad business while things like this are going on: http://fortune.com/2016/12/20/methbot-ad-fraud/

> Besides the big 3, I also froze reporting from Innovis. Why Innovis? Who typically uses their reports?

> Even though Apple had not ironed out many of the basics, like how the autonomous systems would work, a team had already started working on an operating system software called Car…

I recall looking around at the time but didn't see anything. The most recent thread was already done when it happened, and then the convention one was opened with pretty much no me…

Count me as part of the strange group that is dismayed at the quality but for some reason I can't fully explain, keeps showing up. I've had an account since late 2000 (yes, 17 year…

Funny. But, here's a real answer: Too many people do not like Hillary, and they stayed home instead of voting for her. That's the bottom line. Right or wrong, fair or unfair, she i…

That cuts both ways. Signing it would have made a lot of people feel good without actually doing anything. All the accords and agreements in the world will do nothing to help get u…

> Waymo has around 200, we expect to pass them by the end of the year. Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound? Waymo is a serious engineering effort with a lot of talented p…

I can't help but laugh at all the comments about how the appearance of the cat paw ruined someone's masturbation session.

And it was all done in the name of improving "human rights": http://tech.mit.edu/V114/N27/china.27w.html Every human has a right ... to be poisoned on the job!

> focussed on what customers and developers want I would hardly agree with the modern web being focused on what "customers" want. How many web pages today hijack scrolling, fill th…
