For a second I thought you meant the 2013 Macbook Pro and I was wondering what the hell you were talking about.

You can keep posting the guidelines all you want. I don't bother trying because I know that you will just pop up with the word "unsubstantive" for anything you don't happen to personally think is good.

Hopefully this lets Apple move back to making great devices that look great, instead of devices with seriously compromised performance in exchange for being very slightly more thin.

Why would anyone ever trust a goddamn thing you have to say about their data?

Unless they pay your salary and are asking you to give your expertise on hoarding and abusing user data, obviously.

Vancouver has used buses that can get overhead power for a long time.

If it wasn't an exaggeration then I would think they apologize for the inconvenience and pay the guy back. 0.01% would mean 1 in 10000 have an issue.

I'd be absolutely shocked if they don't have a mandatory arbitration clause.

> Governments don't give up control without bloodshed.

You say that like it's a bad thing?

none of those require google to be around.

Far as I'm concerned, if this happens it becomes the duty of every person to destroy these sensors and destroy the ability to deploy new ones.

Facebook gets to control money, Google gets to control cities.

Seems fair and totally reasonable.

Another article about how hard it is doesn't mention the hardest part of all.

Getting to a place where you will ever get a chance to work on this stuff.

I tried joining a team working on it. Figured I wouldn't get to do a lot, but it was a foot in the door sort of situation.

By the time I quit I had managed 7 months without doing a thing, and 3 more where I wasn't even trying anymore.

Meanwhile the guys who built the thing all got pulled to work on the next big thing. Maybe they were just amazing engineers.

Maybe getting hired out of college and putting right onto a massive distributed systems project is the only fucking way to ever get your foot in the door.

I'm not gonna let this article ruin my day. It's pointless. I can think about how colossally fucked my career is on monday.

Unsubstantive == dang don't like it.

Worst moderator I've ever seen. Seriously, you are just atrocious.
