Move to a slew of other great states to live in.. Tennessee, Florida, Texas and others have NO state income tax. You could work as a software engineer making 50% less and still come WAY ahead on your money. Why is there a deep need to work for Apple or Google?
exactly. i mean whats the point? If you are close to dead even staying with your cable co. or the equivalent, its not worth the hassle. I have spectrum and if i just choose the basic internet plan (which i think is 75 mbps). its $80 + tax. So i go with youtube and pay $40 + tax and now i'm paying as much or more than what i pay for the previously mentioned basic internet plan + the lowest tier cable package.
Coming from the Objective-C and Swift world I get you. Coming into the language with no prior experience with it leaves a sour taste in your mouth. It didnt take me too long to figure out I would hate it with a passion. The languages is deceptive. DOM is deceptive and unforgiving for those that have never worked with. It sucks. Why do I have to install Typescript just so I can use Javascript?
Javascript has no classes (while at the same time, trying to pretend that it does). To your point about array, Javascript arrays aren't really arrays - that is, it's not a list of items. JS defines these as 'associate arrays', meaning that they can be whatever they dev wants it to be. You can also divide arrays by each other and there will be no compiler error or it might not even crash. You will still get an answer to what is in the 'array' but it won't be right. The program might crash 1,000 lines later but there is no way to trace the problem. How do you even debug a large application? I couldn't even find a method to see if an array contained a specific item, or to get the number of items in it or to test if it was empty. The " == " operator isn't what you think it is.
Where's the basic data structures? Classes? Not on your life. Inheritance? (of a different kind). Reading from and writing to files is awful. Especially when reading files other that contain other things such as data streams(i.e. pdfs, general binary data, etc).
They need to completely start over, get all the browsers to agree on a standard and force people to stop supporting older versions and upgrade to the new standard. Establish a consortium. Until then, I'm not trying again. I'll go back to Swift.
what about the Macbook Pro? They've thinned that out to where its just a shell of what it once was. I still have my 17" that had a headphone jack, SD card slot, a great GPU(for its time) , 4 USB slots , etc etc.
When did macbook pro users ever say anything about losing function or useless form?
Yeah - ever since msn and yahoo cut off the protocols that Trillian used (and other 3rd party chat clients), theres not much left(except ICQ). I have Adium running on my mac and i am still signed into AIM, so not sure if someone forgot or someone ended up calling in sick.
I don't get the legalization of a content service provider determining what they will slow down and speed up, considering that most of that content they don't own. They are just there to provide service of data to from one point to the next and back. Period.
What or who gave them that right?
The real question is how come, after 13 years, they decided to separate what was evidently a very successful pair of sharks? Seems that it would be wise to just keep them together.
There was roughly 120 Million votes cast this election. Hillary only has trump beat by 207,000 votes... out of 120 million. Thats insane. 0.002% difference. The reason that is even this close are the huge cities for the Democrats on the coasts. I think the current electoral college doesnt allow for every vote to count as well the popular vote because the larger cities would basically always decide the election.
The best way for every single vote to count is to provide a way for all candidate to take partial electoral votes based on the number of votes you got in each state. So for California, 55 Electoral votes, Hillary: 61%, Trump: 33%. That would give Hillary 33.55 electoral votes and Trump 18.15 votes. I know that leaves up partial percentage points but I'm fine with it. This way every single vote matters in each state.
at $11,000 per month - that would pay for any kind of house you want with much more sq footage just outside the city in the suburbs. why someone would fork over that much money for a space they don't own is completely foreign and unimaginable to me.
Example 3: Gay Marriage (or any type of marriage really). Lower courts/state supreme courts/SCOTUS all weighing in. the federal government should not be involved in marriage at all. instead of getting tax breaks for being married or being married with kids, dogs, cats, farms, etc, the states should handle that. that was clearly a states issues. Why do 7 people get to make a decision like that for everyone?
They FOUND a right in the constitution that was never there just like courts throughout the last 80 years have slowly tried to change the original meaning of what the Constitution meant and stood for.
Example for Gay Marriage. The 13th amendment abolished slavery. The 14th Amendment was intended to help guarantee civil rights to the freed slaves. It was never meant for gay marriage(or anything else) despite yet our 'well studied' supreme court used this amendment, at least in part to make their ruling - but lets not let actual historical facts get in the way right?
i dont understand - why would a lawsuit prevent them for having all their movies available sorted alphabetically? (dvd or streaming). i don't see why the studios would want to prevent someone from finding one of their movies more easily, in that way...
uhhh yeah there is "popular" and "trending" but its just a very small subset of all the movies that are out there. Right now I am logged in, I see:
Animation, Trending Now, Reality TV, Dramas, Because you watched, family features, crime, horror..etc etc.. and those are layed out horizontally for you to scroll through. But all those movies are just a subset of all the movies that they actually provide. For instance i see the category, Crime Thrillers. If you scroll you might see 50 different things to choose from.. but I am sure that they carry more than 50 movies that fall under that category. It would be better to just be able to search ALL movies under Crime Thrillers instead of just being able to see a small subset. (assuming there is more, which I sincerely hope so)
they've also removed a LOT of content in those two years....so frankly maybe even less content overall than they had then, although i can't go back and count every single addition for every subtraction. They removed Miami Vice, Knight Rider, a bunch of Law & Order stuff, the Mission Impossible movies, Rambo movies, Rocky movies, a bunch of kids stuff (Sesame street etc)... to review it even closer to can go to Whats On Netflix
A lot of those shows come on regular tv often but they have removed a LOT of 70s-80s shows/movies that a lot of people watched regularly and the main reason I even joined Netflix..before marriage and kids b/c it was just so much cheaper than going out and paying an insane amount of money for just one season of a tv program.
The other thing is, is that they STILL have not improved their user interface. There still isn't an way to search a list of movies that are new, old, popular or just look at all of the movies in an alphabetized list. Basically you have to know what movie you want to watch, search for it and then hope that its there. Thats a pretty epic fail. So yeah, I think $2 extra a month is pretty ridiculous when they haven't even made any improvements on that front either.
Terminator 2.... and the list goes on of ALL the movies and shows like this that they have removed that, I imagine, had a good following. Everyone that I know that has Netflix had those old 80s shows as favorites. It seems to me that keeping those kinda of older shows would be a priority.
1. if someone is going to buy an apple tv or not they will buy an apple tv (or not) whether iFixIt does a teardown or not.
2. if someone is going to wait to buy an apple tv until they find out what iFixIt does, they will either buy one if they like what they see or they'll not buy one if they don't like what they see. Whether or not iFixit does the teardown early won't make that person change their decision one way or another - whether they decide on buying one early or not or buying one or not after it goes public.

You also need to ask yourself why they chose Little Rock. hmmm. The answer is 200 miles away.

How did they manage to double the shelf life? Double the preservatives? Double to toxins?
