dmishe··on Silicon Valley Could Offer a Public Bus Commute That's Quicker Than Driving
Yeah I've moved here 6 months ago :)
dmishe··on Silicon Valley Could Offer a Public Bus Commute That's Quicker Than Driving
I like how it takes the tech center of the world 3 years to add a bus lane and then another 22 to make something of it
dmishe··on The Algorithm Design Manual
It was published in 2008
dmishe··on Chrome for Mac 64-bit Support
Yes you're right. At the same time, you probably have some other 32bit apps that forced those libs to load, e.g. Dropbox, which is still 32bit and starts with the system.
dmishe··on Chrome for Mac 64-bit Support
With current ram sizes this might be negligible, but 32bit chrome would have to load 32bit versions of all system frameworks, while you have 64bit in memory all the time. The less 32bit apps you have, the better :)
dmishe··on Kevin Rose Introduces New App Watchville
It's been very long since those reviews actually took 2 weeks. It's 5 days now http://appreviewtimes.com

And it's really a super easy process, I'm sure that speed/ease of development and team experience is the major deciding factor.

Plus, in this particular case, I can imagine that iOS uses are more interested in luxury watches.

dmishe··on What an Uncensored Letter to M.L.K. Reveals
Fantastic username choice.
dmishe··on Apple’s Cool iPhone Fingerprint ID Means You’re Screwed
It's the whole apple/android full encryption debacle that has been going on for what, two months now? Brute-forcing an iPhone with iOS 8 is extremely slow.
dmishe··on Microsoft Band
Even if they do, it seems that you get the best of it by syncing to MS cloud with algos to run over your data.
dmishe··on The Affordable Care Act: Who Was Helped Most
you're young and healthy until your first visit to ER without insurance
dmishe··on Retailers are disabling NFC readers to shut out Apple Pay
I can, because:

You need to give them your checking account access.

You need to somehow show that QR code, the fastest I can think of on iPhone is getting it from location-based Passbook notification, which is still way slower than touching my finger to home button.

Sure, they won't notice me, but, well, Walgreens got a new customer.

dmishe··on Retailers are disabling NFC readers to shut out Apple Pay
Not sure how this is good, I for one won't use CVS/RiteAid just because of this. And I'm sure their app will be terrible.
dmishe··on US Army Survival Manual (2006) [pdf]
Very nice. Is that some kind of US military standard issue cigarette? Because they so many varieties in content now.
dmishe··on America Is Becoming Less Religious
Well, hopefully? As well as telling that abortions are up to the woman, contraception is ok and gay people are actually just people.
dmishe··on America Is Becoming Less Religious
It looks like we stone people to death less and don't burn witches and less likely to put your penis inside a metal tube to prevent masturabation.

Now, if somebody would teach more people not to put their dirty feet on seats that would be nice.

I definitely like your argument that all of those old books were written as a life rulebook, but it got kinda carried away after and I think we're due for update, like bible 2.0 or something.

dmishe··on [dead]
Because they can?
dmishe··on Apple Built A SIM Card That Lets You Switch Between AT&T, Sprint, And T-Mobile
correction: pre installed and NO sim tool
dmishe··on Apple Built A SIM Card That Lets You Switch Between AT&T, Sprint, And T-Mobile
And that's why you get a SIM pick tool.

In US you just get a phone with everything pre installed and sim tool :). So this thing does make it easier for Apple and a bit more convenient for users

dmishe··on Apple Accidentally reveals iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3
Well they have an event tomorrow anyway
dmishe··on Performance and Opportunities of HTTP 2.0
Hm, I think it's a feature
dmishe··on Performance and Opportunities of HTTP 2.0
Really? It scrolls up for me, fixing the video on top
dmishe··on Performance and Opportunities of HTTP 2.0
What a very well done presentation/website. More venues should think about this.
dmishe··on Uber Flunks the Better Business Bureau Test
Not sure if this was updated recently, but:

With surge pricing, they always show the multiplier at the time of booking.

And it's easy to tap "quote fare" button to see the price. I agree that it should be there all the time, as soon as you select the destination, but that's the thing, lots of my rides do not have destination before I get into the car.

dmishe··on Tesla wants to sell you a used Model S
Great car, great company, lots of good publicity lately, obviously tech related.
dmishe··on How does a computer chip work?
Thanks
dmishe··on How does a computer chip work?
Too bad there are no videos
dmishe··on Why can't Apple decrypt your iPhone?
But Apple says "iCloud secures the content [backups] by encrypting it when sent over the Internet, storing it in an encrypted format, and using secure tokens for authentication"
dmishe··on Advanced iOS virus targeting Hong Kong protestors
Ok so it's only jailbroken devices, again.
dmishe··on iOS 8.0.1 released, broken on iPhone 6 models, withdrawn
So they all got bent exactly this morning?
dmishe··on After Surgery, Surprise $117,000 Medical Bill from Doctor He Didn't Know
