I can't see this being a very happy transition, especially for developers and product support.
Apple has done transitions before: classic MacOS to MacOS X, Motorola 68000 to PowerPC, and PowerPC to Intel. They survived all three. Given their history, they're obviously capable of handling transitions well enough.
The correct solution to the anti-vaccination movement isn't to censor and delete their speech as fake or non-truth. It's to educate people so that they're able to determine for themselves that it's flawed and incorrect
The problem is there's no convincing these people with education or evidence. Anything that contradicts their world view is considered a conspiracy by "big pharma."
It's just like trying to convince some religious people who believe the earth is only several thousand years old. Fossils? Satan put those there to test our faith. There's just no convincing such people no matter how much you try to educate them.
I try to. But the reality is that sometimes local stores simply don't have what I want. For product X, I tried four different local stores before giving up and just buying X on Amazon. For product Y, my local store imposed a minimum order quantity of 6 Y. I don't want 6 Y; I want 1 Y. Again, I gave up and bought on Amazon that was happy to sell me 1 Y.
Hyperloop is delusional. Aside from having to deal with exactly the same right-of-way and environmental things conventional rail has to deal with, if you get a single seal failure (of the thousands that must exist) in the depressurized tube, the whole thing comes to a grinding halt. Laying the concrete ties and steel rail of a conventional rail system is the easy part and it requires much less maintenance than thousands of seals.
Why should a browser software vendor be forced to continue to support applets or Flash forever in new versions of browser software? Why don't they have the same right to decide what to support? You're free not to upgrade.
How is this different from using 3rd-party parts? Or must I buy only parts from Tesla for a Tesla? Or Only parts from Ford for a Ford? If anything, I think it is more on the software author, not the end-user.
Yeah, I'll never use Sprint again. I tried them a few years ago with an LTE-equipped iPad. I was standing on Market Street in downtown San Francisco and was getting litterally an order of magnitude worse bandwidth than my Verizon iPhone at the exact same location. I dropped Sprint and and now both devices use Verizon.
When companies actually pay damages, they'll start being A Lot More Careful.
Good, cheap, fast: pick any two. If you assume good = careful, then either the software will be cheap, but slow between releases; or fast but expensive. Most consumers prefer cheap. One problem with cheap but slow is that companies need to be able to pay their employees between releases.
Since this article is about Twitter, I willl stick to that. How could Twitter be broken up? They only do one thing. Please enumerate what each of the 6 or so companies would do if Twitter were broken up into them.
I am very much in favor of privacy and protecting your data, but I cannot see how a finger print, iris, facial, or other bio-metric unlocking method can be considered protected by the 4th Amendment.
That's because it isn't. It's protected by the Fifth Amendment.
This legislation is designed to impose high costs on the corner hardware store...
What high costs? My local hardware store already has a computer and internet connection. What additional costs are needed to e-mail receipts rather than print them?
That aside, Trump has been in office 2 years. If a wall was such a priority, why didn't Mitch McConnell give it to him when the GOP controlled both houses of Congress?
It was a success for its time, the late 1960s during the cold war. It's myopic to suppose that any success (regardless of when it was done or why) would remain the dominant success for eternity.
Any time a company brings in someone new at either the VP or C levels, that someone always has to change something to justify himself. Nobody gets hired to do more of the same as the previous guy even if everything works well already.
(c) Once the lottery drawing for a particular set of tickets has been held, all the non-winning tickets are worthless forever. At least a digital (not crypto!) currency could, in theory and however unlikely, be worth something again in the future.
While Apple may get a lot of press, their products are not dominant in any market segment -- very unlike IBM at the time of the ad. So the parallel, and alleged irony, doesn't really work, IMHO.
This comes from the people who made the infamous 1984 ad.
The ad was done by Chiat-Day, an advertising agency. That aside, the ad was commenting on the "big brother"-ness of IBM and their mono-culture. Apple was the subversive liberator.
When a company starts out, if it's really lucky, it'll have a few really talented people. As the company scales up, finding more really talented people to meet the scaling becomes impossible, so they company is forced to hire somewhat talented people. The company has to put procecesses in place to mitigate the somewhat talented people doing dumb things.
3) People who were living paycheck to paycheck and had housing, but then lost their job and do not have in-demand skills to easily get another one and so become homeless.
4) People who through either never being taught or natural stupidity can not function as an adult in modern society and so can not do things like budget, set priorities, etc.

Everything about an organism is a product of evolution.
There's a difference between collusion to make (more) money and efficacy. We're not discussing the former.

The moon landings were about beating the Russians into and for dominance of space and the moon. They were not science for science's sake.

It's just a bad analogy.

I would assume they referenced Netflix to give the reader a sense of time. It's like saying "Company X, founded when Hayes was President, ..."
And the telcos can't implement a phone equivalent of SPF because...?

Sadly, no. Luna is just the Latin word for moon. The words were created before Galileo discovered that there were other moons.
