Re:Apple, Google criticised for Saudi Absher app that tracks women

Living in constant fear because of your gender and where you were born is direct harm. Being controlled by the opposite gender is a direct harm. Not being able to become educated because you are female is a direct harm to them AND men(and those in between).

Are you not arguing and attempting to impose a stance on others right now? You don’t know which countries we are from and if our governments are aligned.
There’s a thing called human rights and we should all stand up for them.

I think the stockholders would understand that SA is absolutely wrong and both should yank the app.
This app goes against human decencies and rights and that overrides the legality.

Yeah but look at our totals. It’s very low. Per capita it is bad. We are wasteful and an oil producing country but our population is spread out and we have a colder climate. Check out the breakdown and you’ll see transportation is the offender.

There's no need to put emphasis on it - unless your real motivation was to suggest the test is a joke. Which your claim to have been drunk and finished in nearly a third of the suggested time also implies.
Re:The Phone That’s Failing Apple: iPhone XR
on Monday January 07, 2019 @02:00AM (#18843339)
Who wants a 32gb iphone too, 16gb is barely usable nowadays. The typical app is 500+mb plus the extras it downloads afterwards. Which is a whole other story.

Because they're still the same price as they were at launch. It feels really bad paying 90% of the cost of current gen. In some cases Apple increased the price years later on the same product - MacBook Air 2013/2015. Combined with hitting a trillion dollar market cap it really makes the customer wonder.

I would assume graduates that obtained high paying jobs would be more likely to complete these surveys. Of course they could include how many graduates were polled and how many responded.

Don’t undersell it either. The minimum, as you pointed out, is safe. Your capitalization implies “it’s barely acceptable” and any engineer that has passed those tests would know this.
Re:Did Google Cripple Edge’s YouTube Performance?
on Wednesday December 19, 2018 @04:09PM (#18719658)
No technical reason to use Edge over Chrome? Are being purposely ignorant? Edge has good pdf editing abilities - at least in the Surface line. When google can stop eating your ram and battery I'll consider it over Edge. Unfortunately MS is throwing in the towel.
Safari is also a good browser. I don't need justifications here.

Re:Electron and the Decline of Native Apps
on Friday December 07, 2018 @05:26PM (#18632254)
I think it goes further than just eroding expected behaviour. There is a noticeable performance impact when using these Electron based apps. Idling in the background they'll happily drain your battery. Since consumers are using mobile devices more now, battery life is an important consideration. Scroll through text document on any electron app and check the processor usage. It's really surprising that you can get up to 60+% cpu usage.

Try viewing Imgur.com on Safari. Just scroll a bit until you get a couple gifs displayed and check the CPU usage on the imgur.com tab. Just insane that a few gifs destroy an i7. Is it bad video compression? I notice imgur attempts to make gifs from mp4 files and vice versa but damn. A 5 year old iPhone has no problem with this task.
It'd be nice if you could throttle processor usage. I'd rather have a choppy experience on the occasionally website than constant fans and having my Mac turn into a heater.

She's the Chief Financial Officer which means she is at the top. She is an extension of the company and responsible for the companies financial decisions - which would include concerns related to sanctions.

Really? There are extradition agreements between Canada and he US... let’s say you murder someone. You can’t just leave the country and expect the new host to not care!
What she is alleged to have done would be a crime in Canada too so her nationality isn’t relevant.

Sweden doesn’t view that as a crime so they don’t have any interest in further oppression. Many western countries will arrest foreigners that attempt to use their country as a hiding place. There are extradition agreements that outline this - the long arm of the law.
