It is actually incredibly clever and never thought about it until now. I can relate to so many services I have spent some time curating, managing, triaging, etc ...
It helped me create an emotional connection with the product I am using and certainly will generate an emotion if the service will closed or if they introduce features that break the existing user flow.

Couldn't disagree more with the first 2 paragraphs. It feels like saying Apple publishes a slightly different version of its iPhone every year. I think you will find plenty of differences - even major ones between the first iPhone and the latest one. Same thing with Nintendo games. IMHO, Nintendo is probably the best developer in the world and have proven this again and again.
Completely agree with your last paragraph though.

There clearly was a discoverability issue with 3D Touch. When you knew which app supported the feature, it was awesome but there was no way of knowing in advance if there was support for it before using it.
Long pressing an icon or anything just to see that nothing happens was just frustrating. Long term effect was that users probably felt this wasn't reliable/supported enough to use the feature at all or at least not in the scale Apple wanted.

If I had to guess, I would say that the HN crowd is not fond of unverified claims that are not backed by any source other than the person personal opinion.
> "Obj-C is a much better framework language than C++. How and why is that true?"
Anyone could throw these sort of claims about absolutely anything and doesn't elevate the debate at all.
> "I honestly think Objective-C is a big part of Apple's OS success."
How and why is that true? Same thing.

The very first paragraph :
> “ Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is working with Google and other U.S. tech giants to develop a new way of making semiconductors more powerful.”
The title is unfortunately misleading as it makes it look like only Google and TSMC are “pushing the boundaries” whereas it also includes other tech companies.

QA here. The article is decent for someone who has little to no experience in the field and wishes to know more about QA practices or processes.

> then content creators realized that GR is stealing thunder and started dropping RSS, and then GR died and we ended up with no Reader and no RSS.
Funny how anyone can define History.

Am I the only one seeing the irony of having The Verge talk about Firefox and privacy when the website is bloated with tracking scripts?

> Seriously, who cares about a warranty on a $6 thing?
Just because you do not care doesn't mean it should apply to everyone.
My parents would definitely use a warranty on a $6 thing if it had one because they do not spend blindly all their money on one-time items that cost $6 each. Sorry but I have to disagree with your reasoning.

The problem with this reasoning is that it doesn't apply to countries outside the US. Take Europe for example where the healthcare system is miles ahead compared to the US yet Europe is clearly not the most innovative space because of this.

The fact that iPad never had 3D Touch adds another argument as to why developers never truly adopted the feature.

and it reassigned thousands of engineers across the company to fix a security vulnerability earlier this year, delaying other Marcus products by months, The Journal reported.
I wonder if it was related to the development of Apple Card.

Ultimately people will vote with their wallet if they truly want this or not and no matter how long I look at this, I don’t see it being the future we are heading.

Maybe the goal was to find a way to get a lot of medical records and it didn't make much sense to continue Deepmind Health once that goal has been achieved - hence the move to Google Health.
