This means a standard spotify user will now have a better case for torrents than for staying with their current contract.
I thought spotify had figured out how to work in the music business without forcing users towards illegal sharing. Apparently they are as clueless as the so called old style business models.
Any business model where using torrents is better than a paid subscription is going to fail. In this case it's even worse, because they will drive their own currently paying customers away.
I'm a big fan of Samsungs phones, and have been using them for the last years, ever since I bought the S3.
But it's always in spite of their software. If I could get a clean Android on my S7 now, I would do that right away (and please don't show your ignorance by mentioning cyanogen now). They are great at building hardware, they suck at building software. I can only imagine how sad this is going to be when they now infect many other apps with their systems.
These "helper" apps have been coming and going ever since Clippy. And they are still close to useless.
There is no command or invocation I do on the phone to get me from the current state to another that takes more than a couple of seconds at least. So what is it they want to optimize? If I have to talk to it, then I annoy everyone around me. If they want to do generic gestures, I can already set up 3rd party apps for that. So please explain why this is anything but a marketing stunt that forces crap software down my throat.
It's so sad that those who do offer an almost generic Android on their phones is either really expensive - even compared with higher end Samsungs - or crap hardware or not available here in Denmark.
If you ask this question, then I would say that you shouldn't have a job where it's necessary to know.
I'm not trying to troll you, but this is important to understand.
I'm a developer as well as a business owner. I understand that it would be fantastic if we could have a meaningful set of KPIs on developers. But they do not exist. Sure, you can create them, but they will be wrong.
For example, bugs. My best developers also create the most amount of bugs. Because I naturally assign them to the hardest part of the application and they usually write the largest number of new lines of code.
I'll also say that any talented software manager I have met, have not needed a set of metrics on the developers in the teams. They know who is good and who is bad.
Guys, a lot of you are talking about tax evasion, which is not the point here. No one is accusing Apple of not paying the tax that they should to Ireland.
This is a case of illegal government subsidizing. Ireland has illegally (at least according to EU) given Apple an unfair tax and by doing so have illegally given state funding to Apple. This is not allowed in EU. The ruling is that Apple must have the standard Irish company tax, which leads to the enormous sum.
Whether this is right or not is a legal battle. But it's pitifully bad form by Apple to start throwing personal mud. "It allows the commissioner to become Dane of the year". That's far more than crossing the line.
This is not a troll, although I understand why some would read it this way.
If Trump wins, the majority of people in Europe would worry that the internet is effectively in the hands of an insane leader and a country that is moving in the same direction as Putins Russia. Europeans will never trust any country that's ruled by a guy like that.
You Americans still treat it like *your* internet. And even though you apparently don't trust any American politicians, you still think it should be them that have control over something as global as the internet is. I'm puzzled.
What is the relevance of these scores? Should it help people somehow, for example that you should choose to work with a language that's popular?
There are tons of great jobs out there for any great developer, be that Java, C++, C, Javascript or a bunch of others. Choose the language you love to develop with and work on getting better on that instead. If you're a great developer, you will be able to find a very good job and good things will happen to you.
That said, the methodology of this score is hilariously stupid. For example, I doubt the gaming industry - which is almost pure C++ - will make an effort to save stuff on github.

If it wasn't so sad, it would be hilarious.
