I'm thankful for having had people in my life that have given me opportunity when I frankly didn't deserve the opportunity. I'm very conscious to make sure that I pass that kindness on when it's appropriate.

This is absolutely, unquestionably, spot on. It's a societal level change that's required to unpick what we have right now. It's incredibly complicated and there's issues everywhere.. but I think we can (mostly) agree that our current system doesn't benefit the many. And that can't be the way we want to be forever.

Open question; What's the long game on securing the way credit cards work? Who's working on something interesting that could thwart the whole 'name+number+ccv' leak thing that's been perpetuating in this industry for decades?

I'm just reaching out for anyone who knows about any grand plans, initiatives or rehabs of how credit cards currently work. Keen to read more.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. You've got a point. There's no perfection in the App Store when it comes to review, but it's an ecosystem that is built around trying to create a sense of control and privacy. Sorry if you don't disagree but I reckon facts overwhelmingly disagree with you if you do.

That's not to say in any way ANDROID BAD or anything like that, it's just a broader attack vector that you're up against with Android unless you're a very careful experienced customer. Most people aren't. :/

Again I feel like I'm reaching out to be educated here.. but if Safari is attempting to validate URLs for safe browsing using the Google API (which it states it will do, quite openly), and Google products is quite clearly blocked in China so it resorts to Tencents API (which it states it will do, quite openly).. why does this seem to provoke anger?

I mean this in the most equitable way possible, I'm more trying to understand where Apple has done anything wrong here?

This, if accurate, is quite reflective of all online forums of discourse unfortunately.

The game is rigged.

Here's a broad and perhaps a bit naive question on this;

Reddit, Imgur, and any other site that uploads significant amounts of images from significant amount of users.. do they attempt to do this? To de-dupe images and instead create virtual links?

At face value it'd seem like a crazy amount of physical disk space savings, but maybe the processing overhead is too expensive?

To (most) people commenting and reading this, the question 'why would you pay that much money for a car' is just about context.

To much of non-first world countries, buying an iPhone Pro Max would evoke the same question. That amount of money symbolises food for a long period of time.

Unfortunately your context shifts out a lot. It becomes normalised to buy an iPhone. It becomes normalised to pay a lot of money to buy a house, and if you're lucky enough to build wealth the normality bar just keeps being raised.

And then, poof, you just bought a supercar. Or a Patek Philippe. Or whatever other expensive thing that has no real purpose beyond it's a thing that you like.

I feel the same way with private jets. But a private jet was a completely trivial sum of money for me, maybe I would. Hard to say.

Correct or incorrect, good answer. Appreciate you taking time writing it!

I have to say, as someone who's been somewhat critical of Facebook's dealings for the past years, I read the entire thing and I can't pick up on anything that doesn't seem like a reasonable thing to say to your team.

Is anyone able to educate me on why there seem to be some air of hawks swooping on Zuckerberg because of this?

How is the FireFox experience on OSX these days compared to Safari? This is 100% a nail in the Chrome coffin for me.

I'm in the same boat, friend. Expelling Google from my life.

Apple Maps works for me. I appreciate that's not the case for everyone, but it's come a LONG way. I sincerely use Apple news (on iOS) and have been loving it, but appreciate it's not for everyone's use case.

Google photos.. yeah wow. There really isn't much like it. I've resigned to storing my photos myself on a private server and slowly making albums/things come together. But I have to NOT use google photos. It's too scary.

Gmail was easy

Youtube I use a fake gmail account that's not linked to me in the slightest and only use it on 1 iPad, else not logged in.

It's a quest. But I'll get there. Someone really ought to make a Google Photos competitor though, there's nothing that has the same level of polish right now.

I'm surprised at the lack of support (hacker news) for Safari. It's a fantastic browser, made by people who have a track record of not being evil with data. I know that might seem like a big statement, but in the face of Google I will happily trust Apple.
