No, it's not a prestigious publication or special as this article already was on HN previously, and discussions on how it's just meaningless non statically valid ratings from internal staff. Alas, many cling to any chance to sing the old song of Apple is doomed, it can't innovate, x wouldn't have happened if Steve was alive, how people are threatening to switch, etc. But with Apple's uncharacteristic Mac Pro announcement perhaps years of griping can eventually move the needle, so I suppose whatever works for people.
Is this a real survey or just a random survey by the staff of some website? If so odd this is trending on HN. Otherwise where is the actual data and the number of people who actually made this ratings, the questions they were asked to see how statistically valid the results are.
Huh? He's a 70 year old man retiring after 47 years of work. What does that have to do with how Apple has evolved over the years?
Unless it's suppose to be satire of all the people who always say, "If Jobs were around X wouldn't have happened" about everything. Aka if Jobs were around old men would never retire.
My thoughts precisely. TouchID is neat, but it's a little slow compared to an iPhone home unlocking, and most days rarely need to use it at all since I'm wearing an apple watch that automatically unlocks the mac anyway.
Completely agree. Having too look to use it makes it not very pleasant to touch vs a responsive key. While it's a neat feature for the day doesn't seem to help with productivity since I can do anything quickly already blindly with the keyboard. If the next MBP I buy has a version without (but top of the line in all other respects I'd opt for one without the touchbar. I'm often using that space to adjust the sound or sometimes manually the brightness and that always becomes a conscious chore with the touchbar.
I like many are sticking with it hoping someone will find a user for it that makes it a killer feature even if niche.
But Google and Facebook are Free, so giving are data is a way of paying for that. Comcast and Verizon we already pay for, so they are double dipping. Also Google/Facebook can prioritize their content over competitors, where is as an ISP with the changing laws Comcast/Verizon could. If Verizon wants to offer its services for free, then yes I believe if we allow it with Google/Facebook we should allow with it Verizon. Now of course Google/Facebook shouldn't either, but to say that Comcast/Verizon should be able to because Google/Facebook does not appear to hold because of the difference in pricing.
Don't see anything about the MacBook, just the store is down again. Can you update your title to avoid confusion. Also isn't the new red iPhone launching today? I assume they have to take the store down temporarily for that.
Interesting where do you see that confirmation? I would be beyond surprised if they used their "Something special in store" for regular maintenance, versus their' We'll be back. Or if you mean yes, they are going to be adding new products but you consider that smart marketing to do versus having a more typical event, then yes, I agree it's smart marketing.
It's an animated gif, weighing in at 4MB, which is already massive, do if they doubled the resolution that would be very large for a very subtle visual difference for that particular graphic. The file name includes 1x, so I believe it's intentional for performance reasons.
It says Gmail but is on the G Suite blog and mentions specifically G Suite Editions. So was wondering earlier today if it applies to G Suite Gmail Only or all gmail customers including @gmail.com?
My main question is however how will the receiving more help if the sending limit is still low? Are there any top email providers such as Microsoft, Yahoo, etc, that support sending more than 25MB emails?
I think when sending emails to other gmail/g suite users the send limit should be 50mb, but when sending to anyone else should be 25mb, since 99% of others would only be 25mb receiving limit and would be a lot of email bounces otherwise.
Seems like another commenter beat me to the punch, but to me the obvious answer would seem to be not hosting images at all as they could create a red circle in css.
Or as others noted reverse the logic so that it shows red icons by default but as long as the services are working then it replaces that with a green icon. And when those external services are down it would go back to a red icon.
Definitely 401k especially if they offer any sort of matching. Roth's are a good additional option, especially if you just starting out in a low tax break and expect to eventually be in a higher tax bracket as you advance through your career. Roths however have a relatively low limit so many of us cannot use them once we reach a certainly income level in the 100ks.
While I long upgrade from Firefox, I imagine most don't change because people hate change. I remember back when I switched I noticed all the little tiny differences, and while there were different and in most cases better ways of doing that in Chrome, I was use to my current way and any change slowed my productivity down. In the long run, I knew Chrome would be a better solution when I finally dove two feet in. But for many they are happy with what they have and while Chrome would offer a superior experience, the change wouldn't be worth it for many. And the rest I imagine fall into the category of I hate company x, so don't want to use it and then end up sticking with company that they believe on the surface is more inline with their values.
Middle class cars at aimed at different needs than highend cars. A highend car like a Ferrari may aim at image and performance solely and not consider how that car would handle/drive in adverse conditions like snow or concerns for MPG.
Most middle class cars are highly optimized shape wise for MPG as well as handling all types of road and weather which is why tires on performance cars look so different than middle class cars, because their goals are completely different.
Cars like Hyundai are building their own brands based on great technology, reliability, strong MGP etc. If they attempted to simply through that out the window and look like a ferrari, they would lose their core customer base and also not attract ferrari's customer base because they don't want a something lat looks similar on the outside but has lawn mower on the inside.
If you are experiencing inconsistent Internet Speeds, it sounds like you will want to look into getting support for your router and or network connection. You could also check with Apple to do testing to see if perhaps you have a defective Wifi card? Does your iPhone get consistent high speeds, if so then sounds like you may have a defective wifi card or something. If iPhone is also intermittent would assume its your router setup/internet connection. As there isn't any wide spread internet connectivity issues with this model. My home gets 250mbps with Comcast. Depending on my location on the house, how many, and which devices are currently active and their load, I typically get about 220-240mbps. Plugging in via ethernet does give me consistently 250mbps, but that is the case with any computer.
To note it did take a long time get my network setup to give the best speeds as there are so many factors that affect that beyond the computer.
Exactly. I imagine people are moving towards Apple more than they ever have. Though the author neglects to provide any actual data proving either way and rather assumes all share their narrow view based on headlines. Apple doesn't update Mac hardware and software for developers in the way have in the past, but developers are small subset of customers so make of course sense they should be focusing on their main massive customer base. Developers assume MBP to mean meant for only Pro users, but imagine (Without data), that even most Pro customers are not developers/creatives, and rather normal consumers who want the best or bigger screens. As a developer and designer, I would love if Apple were to focus more on our needs, but more importantly, I want them to do what's best for their business so that will be able to continue to produce solid products as no other option comes close to what the Apple Ecosphere can offer currently in my opinion, Linux and Google included. But we all have our own needs some for those that don't like Apple's direction, like the author, glad they are finding other options they find more suitable.
Lol, "we all", is probably only appropriate if the author has multiple personalities. Was interested to see what dataset the author was using to support their belief that "we all" are leaving Apple for presumably competing companies as I'm not aware of any such movement or data.
I imagine rather they chose a sensational title and choose to speak on behalf of all humans rather than saying more appropriately, "Why I am moving away from Apple" or at most, "Why some are moving away from Apple".
Yeah very sensational headline noticed how it starts with "Tesla just killed". That's certainly not one of it's biggest benefits since you were already limited on how frequently you could use the chargers (you weren't able to use them all the time for regular charging, only meant for large trips or when far from home area. So the amount of extra you will have to pay not/how much you saved, will be negligible compared to how much the cars cost. So while it's a neat feature certainly not a big deal and of course wouldn't be practical to continue offering it forever as they grow, yet they are still giving another 1K for free per year which will cover the majority of people who have that years big road trip.
Sounds like the website owner didn't setup up a page rule properly for it's RSS feeds in CloudFlare. If you flip a switch and don't customize it properly you will likely run into issues like this, but that's not Cloudfare, rather the webmaster for the site who you should be contacting.
Um because many people use phones in cars who are "not" driving. How are companies suppose to determine when a phone is being used by a driver vs the passenger right next to them or the people in the back seats? For someone not driving there are countless good uses such as taking photos/video of sights, games, directions and more such as calling someone for an address, or for reporting your own or someone elses emergency.
Trying to ban it will never work since people will always find a way around it or even worse alternatives, and any company that does, another company will exist or popup offering the ability.
Just like with the industry trying to stop illegal music downloads it was futile to stop them until instead the provided a better alternative (cheap streaming, easily accessible high quality music). In the case of cars, Apple and Google are hoping to entice users into using safer more convenient options that holding a phone in their hand, with CarPlay and Android. The downside being it will take a long time before the average person has a car with that available.
This is odd. Clearly anyone can make a lighting fast page by making a single page since then you can have css inlined versus needing to link to css style sheets with multiple pages, and of course not having javascript would make it faster, but thats a requirement for most all typical sites these days, and loading images that way is nice for hackers but not for real people using cms's by common people and clients. Also paying $25-35 for hosting is not very bright since you can get a $5 digital ocean server ssd, not shared, that would load this particular page just as fast if not faster.
Have been using the iOS and MacOS betas since day one without a problem as my day to day devices. There are certainly bugs and crashes here and there but no deal breakers. However, I wouldn't recommend it for most anyone, since when things do break I can easily find work arounds, where the average person may not, and if compatibility for something you rely on breaks then you are out of luck if you don't have extra mac laptops or phones to work on. These betas are far more reliable than previous years. To note, you have a typo in your title. "macOS" is a thing, "MacOS" is not.
This should be removed as it says sharing any password is now a federal crime, yet the title of the linked article says "could" not is, which is a major difference.
And it even says explicitly that the ruling wouldn't presumably apply to things such as "sharing a Netflix password."
@Esalman, please read the full article before posting.
"Tesla Says" would be more accurate, since Tesla was the one to officially report it first via their blog and they also notified the US Highway department so they can do an independent investigation.
