My M1 Pro still randomly loses internet requiring a restart.

IF it's fine then why was Google data collection ever an issue?

I mean, Apple sold lots of paranoia around privacy as a way to boost their own offerings, so I'm fine with it.

Live by sword...

Actually they explicitly said uncapped re years of service.

Very generous I'd say.

I get your point about pattern of behavior, but it doesn't change mine about who the onus is on. If Apple cannot verify whether gift card usage was legitimate, and takes no steps (e.g. a hard limit on how many gift cards can be used in a transaction) to prevent people from accidentally getting their account killed, that is on Apple.

You're coming off like a "technically correct" guy that completely missed the user experience.

This is a lot of words to say that Apple should then stop selling gift cards if they can't even verify the automated flag. Burden should still be on them since they sold the gift cards.

> You can reasonably want the burden to be on retailers to prove fraud before taking action against it

The issue here doesn't seem to be that they took action, but that they won't restore the account. I think it's reasonable to expect that, upon producing evidence, the burden is back on the retailer.

We had already proved with Trump's kids that, no actually, we don't give a shit as a society about leaders having close family members (even when they're actively working in the Whitehouse) involved in shady deals.

You suggested it's the "mother of all conflicts of interest". It's clearly not.

Yes. And most wouldn't make a statement this dumb.

The issue is Apple considers anything running on an iphone to be their property.

Name another big tech plugged directly into the Chinese Government.

Yes, that's what I want. It turns out a phone and a web browser are different products.

This isn't rocket science.

They can on Android.

Are you unaware that Twitter is a private entity?

> It is nowhere near Standard/Caltech/MIT

Based on my experience at multiple FAANGs and medium sized name brand tech companies... they'd much rather have a Waterloo grad than the above. Can't beat the education combined with the co-op experience.

Really? OP should have put every requirement in the title? You couldn't have just read the requirements then moved on? And because you didn't then OP deserves these nonsense responses?

Get a grip.

You don't know why any random scraper is scraping you and thus you don't know what api to build that will do them from scraping. Also, it's likely easier for them to contribute scraping than write a bunch of code to integrate with your API so it there's no incentive for them to do so either.

Definitely not the most prestigious FAANG to work at. Perhaps if you're a hardware designer/engineer? Certainly not for software.

> For example, when someone calls a statement "x-ist," they're also implicitly saying that this is the end of the discussion.

What a load of shit. So he sets up this opinion piece with a poorly constructed straw man (quite literally a false statement in every _discussion_ I've been part of) then uses this as an anchor for the rest? I mean, this is one of the most aggressively conventional takes on cancel culture I've read over the past year.

Maybe he should get back to being active with YC again so he has less time to embarrass himself like this.

Some skills come with experience.

Yup. When people are "senior" engineers with less than 5 years experience they need to have something to look toward.

So the solution is the import from countries where the practices are more destructive and there's less regulation to reign them in?

> If we can slash the real cost - the externality cost - by just buying it from elsewhere, we should.

I wonder what you think "externality" means?

I'm curious about the typing experience. Is the Simula One able to bring the keyboard into the virtual environment or do you need to rely on touch typing? I know Meta partnered with Logitech on a special keyboard (K830) to try and solve for this. How are you thinking about it?

That doesn't make the advice problematic. The section is called "reasons to _revisit_" not reasons to kill. If you revisit and find that the policy is still beneficial then keep it.

Yeah, just like Apple did.

Ruby allows you to do even more stupid things than PHP does. It's also slower.

18 continuous years of user growth, covering almost literally half the population of planet earth, and they FAILED as a social network?

I beg you to please get some perspective.

Maybe the problem transformation will be both the beginning _and_ end of the developer's role.
