It's a nice language too. It seemed to hit a peak popularity though. Mozilla could have used it but I suspect there's a lot of thinking about how to do even better, better implementation, better tuned to their local needs, etc.
Generally it's "please use this new language that has minimal support and is single sourced and apply it to your critical systems now!" It's nice to have new languages, but if we all rushed to the latest one then we'd just be repeating the same mistakes of having a monoculture.
Remember when Java was the perfect language, designed from the ground up to make sure you can't do anything unsafe with it and it runs in a perfect sandbox that won't harm your computer.
Now Rust is a nice language. But it'll take a whole lot more than "goddammit people!" to get projects to switch.
What's the guarantee say? Perfect safety or your money back?
All magic bullets are essentially myths. You fix some errors more easily but then get lulled into a false sense of security instead of always being on guard.
Get an older model. I have Galaxy S5 and it's not bigger than many of the iphones I see people with. It's still bigger than I like, but there are other brands with older models as well. None of the new phones have new features worth getting anyway, I only upgraded because the old one broke.
I almost always use the external monitor. Sadly though, OSX just does not seem to make that mode work very well. It's been buggy for the last seven years. Unplug the laptop to go to a meeting and it'll rearrange and resize your windows. Plug in a projector and all hell breaks lose with the windows. Once I had windows resized to one inch by one inch, another times half the icons were moved off screen, etc. Half the time when I reboot it won't see the monitor so I have to open the laptop to type in my password.
Ha had a lousy web conference call a few weeks back, new remote building and things weren't working so well. It was mostly audio only but at one point we wanted a picture of what was being projected so one person used his laptop as the video. Then when done he forgets to turn it off, pulls the laptop back to himself, then partially closes the lid. The camera is now pointed straight at his groin. His hands are in his lap twiddling his thumbs, tapping his fingers, clearly bored and impatient. Luckily he never adjusted himself...
Ugh, Doctor Who is on Amazon Prime, the wannabe sucky streaming service. Oh well, I hear they're thinking of a month-to-month service, so I can wait a couple years, sub for one month and binge it all, wait another couple of years...
Which is fine with me, I like having the full season I just wish they'd release it a bit earlier than waiting until the start of the next season. The stuff Hulu advertises are shows I'd never watch anyway, like stuff from the big broadcast channels.
True, we were doing good and you can point to both sides of the aisle for helping there. But then we went to war and spent more money than we had on it all while being told "just go about your daily business as if we weren't at war, otherwise the terrists win."
Politicians like to think short term, because most of the voters only think short term. Worrying about what will happen 10 years from now will lose you the election even though it's the sort of thinking smart people would like the politicians to have. When times are good politicians ignore the deficit, except in order to bring up how bad it was in the past under a different party. When times are bad they point to the deficit, build up panic, then trot out their standard tried-and-failed approaches to reduce it. For Republicans, when times are good you refund taxes, when times are bad you cut taxes. For Democrats when times are good you restore programs cut in the past, and when times are bad you add in programs to help people who are hurt by the bad times. Or you get a centrist that is hated by both sides (Jerry Brown in CA who tries to be more fiscally prudent than the democrats want but isn't into wholesale government dismantling like the republicans want).
I want a thicker battery AND a card slot. There's no reason to make them thinner anymore. It's just going to either make the phones more fragile or cause more damage to you when it's in your pants pocket and you bend over (only to hear the ghost of Steve Jobs tell you "you're bending over wrong").
They just want to make the phones thinner. Apple doesn't care how much it costs the customers since it's used to having customers that will buy anything they're told to buy. Apple has a tendency to make newer models with incompatible parts and they've never apologized for the inconvenience but rather brag about how much better the new product looks. Which is strange since the current iphone is thin enough that it's not difficult to bend it, there's no reason to make it even thinner and more fragile.
Amazon has a very limied access to content overall though. And chances are if it's in high demand then you'll see a surcharge above the normal Prime membership.

Then maybe the solution is to get rid of the no fly list. That's a much larger infringement of rights than requiring checks before purchasing a gun.
Defined by an act in 1903 and thus can be revised and changed by congress.
If this means I'm too old to be in the militia that I can be theoretically denied the right to own an assault rifle? What about females?
Which you are valuing above all other rights. And it's not god given, it's constitution given, I hope you can still tell the difference.
That's why its linker should be called Duck Tape.

Ok, misread, I thought the quoted person was an Apple employee. I hadn't realized that "Apple commentator" was a real profession.
The reasoning is something you'd do in a closed backroom with executives, and yet he comes right out and admits it publicly:
Right now any headphone maker in the world can make any headphones they want for the standard jack. Not so with the Lightning port.
That is, they want to remove customer choice and discourage competition.
Just add a looped video of yourself picking your nose.
Use it? There's an actual use for that camera?
And you pay someone to rip the tape back off again? I really don't like some of these day spas.

ASCII-7 is overkill. Baudot was good enough for grandpa so it's good enough for me!

Vote all you want, but the iPhone crowd will still win the election while standing in line to buy new overpriced dongles.
