How can you know when it's really "The Year of the Linux Desktop"? Whenever you don't need a "how to make it not suck" blog post to get it to run for normal users.

“Google Pay will never sell your data to third parties or share your transaction history with the rest of Google for targeting ads,” the company said. From what I can tell, nothing…

A clever move. Apple essentially knee-capped the Epic claim that they’re in the same boat as small developers by putting a high cap on post-commission earnings ($1m sounds like a l…

Why do you think so? The article comes to the opposite conclusion.

How can it be a “purely cynical PR piece” when there is an actual reduction in cost for developers? In other words, what should Apple have done here? What is the right cut, and how…

I find your perspective and interest in your genealogy fascinating, primarily because I don’t share it. Like, not one bit, and I’m not sure why. If I found out tomorrow that my par…

The fucked up thing is that you can’t opt out. Facebook is capturing the world around you and you can’t stop that. There’s no guarantee that the house you rent next year won’t have…

My husband and I took a road trip of 4,682 miles in a Tesla, with a dog. We stopped every 3 hours and charged for 30 minutes. It was not only possible, but easy, because those stop…

This take is stale. Some people will pay for less freedom on their machines and some developers will gladly take their money. That’s not force, that’s capitalism.

Well, luckily when you ban the sale of new things, it doesn't instantly take off the planet every used version of that thing. The average age of cars on the road is 11 years, meani…

It hasn't been that way for the past 8 months.

Going that slow on, say, 101 south of San Jose w/no traffic would get you honked at, flipped the bird, or worse.

>Sorry TC the reality is barely anyone but aging millennials are keeping 20k songs around in mp3 format. And yet iTunes Match remains in service.

Call for the assassination of the President on your verified, highly followed Twitter account and, when the Secret Service calls you up, ask them if they really believe you were li…

This is a soft failure. If the computer didn't have access to the Internet, it would still open.

Not sure if you’re saying that’s cheap or expensive, but I am tempted to get .audio just for this

>Were the OP's suggestions/observations really that outlandish?! I wouldn't call them outlandish. I think there's merit in the ability to install whatever software you want. But I …

I think I've come up with a reasonable solution for Apple to implement that MacOS style of openness: the iPhone Developer Edition. "Developer" is being used here as a byword for "p…

> You want to incentivize future growth too I would say that SF doesn’t want to incentivize future growth. That’s the source of the inequality, right?

Here's the English translation of Section 130: http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_stgb/englisch_stg... Which might help explain what is considered hate speech. These discus…

>Except that you already agreed to this behaviour when you signed up. This is victim blaming, and it legitimizes the heinous practice of putting onerous terms behind a click-throug…

(2018), please.

There’s a distinction between one-to-one messaging and one-to-many messaging that needs to be considered. But in general, Google doesn’t control the email protocol so I don’t see a…

>Ex-migration will find SF strapped for taxes Why do you think there won't be a crop of young people moving to SF now that it's cheaper?

>The company also argued shoppers were made aware of the activity through decals it had placed on shopping mall entry doors that referred to Cadillac Fairview's privacy policy. Do …
