  • Apple Explains Why It Doesn't Plan to Create a Search Engine

  • Maps is core to privacy and utility for their whole software ecosystem. They offer maps free to devs on iOS so they're not forced to leak a boatload of data to Google or pay big API fees. It's a built in that thousands of apps use.

    Thousands of apps aren't using search.

  • How do people end up winning lawsuits against companies due to a missing label or sign?

    Jump

  • I'm not talking about the amount.

    I'm saying they're much less predictable, so nonsense like having obvious signs saying "don't be stupid" can affect their ruling regardless of how necessary it should be.

  • Lawsuits often go in front of juries.

    Civil juries do whatever the hell they want.

    Every step a company takes to make sure that a reasonable customer will avoid hurting themselves makes it more likely a jury will blame an unreasonable one who hurts themselves being unreasonable.

  • The title is pushing the narrative that "real companies" doing hostile bullshit isn't "real malware".

    When companies ship malware, it should be called malware.

  • If it's unwanted, disruptive, and (allegedly) impacts performance, that's not "malware-like". It's malware.

  • YouTube is cracking down on clickbait

    Jump

  • YouTube is the one pushing them to clickbait. Their metrics are designed such that if you don't bait clicks a huge percentage of the time you're shown, you won't even show up in the feeds of your actual subscribers.

  • TSA finds 'surprising number of prohibited items' in woman's bag, including 82 fireworks, 3 knives

  • lol yeah that's all nothing.

    Except the bottle openers, "you can't bring that on a plane" is perfectly fine. But you don't need to play make believe that it's some big bust either. Just let her throw it away or leave and get someone to take it for her or whatever and move on.

  • They're a mess for everyone, and there is very little correlation between reviews and actual quality. There is not statistical value to using them.

    More importantly, the confidence in any prediction you make using them is damn near zero. They absolutely should not be able to fire anyone with reviews being a factor in any way.

  • No, there is not. A license is just a contract.

    Buying a company because they have a license you want is not remotely unusual. It's perfectly standard behavior, and the entire enterprise world would fall apart if an acquisition lost the rights to licenses the purchased business owned.

  • If costumer reviews/ratings were ever actually useful in any way you could make an argument for it.

    But they're a huge mess abused all over.

  • Yeah, the terms would probably be legal, but they'd be so prohibitive that most companies wouldn't sign them. Having to get a new license to key technology negotiated when you want to sell is a huge handicap.

  • Companies get acquired all the time. Losing licenses is not the norm.
