That's an apocryphal story: https://www.history.com/news/did-marie-antoinette-really-say...

According to the school, they place an automated phone call every time the student is absent so, supposedly, they got 272 phone calls notifying them of absences.

It's very likely that the team that said "yes" is not the same team that said "no". Apple is a big company. There's more than one person there.

He's also still head of the App Store which is the center of the majority of the antitrust firestorm, so it honestly looks more like he'll be able to focus on that for now.

It’s nice that people are trying different things but the N word is plastered all over the site and when I emailed Lucian about it, he was curt and dismissive and told me to use a “delete” button that doesn’t work. Subreply has no guards against abuse.

It's open-source so there's no barrier to adding it, other than opening a Pull Request.

I'm not sure if you're joking or just don't have any kids yourself, but those are more age-appropriate for a 3-month-old than a 3-year-old. 3-year-olds generally can make art independently, turn paper pages carefully, pretend and role play, draw by holding pens with their fingers, speak 300-500 words in sentences of six or more words, tell stories, climb, ride tricycles (maybe a scooter!), use safety scissors, and so on.

3-year-olds are far beyond the goo goo gaa gaa phase of life. Simple STEM toys (like what OP is looking for) are totally appropriate for most 3-year-olds. Sure, you're not going to explain tensor physics to them but you can certainly build a bridge with Duplo blocks with them and experiment with different ways of making it strong.

Not sure about how the rest of the company does, but in the iOS App Store, the Gmail app has 147K reviews and Yahoo Mail has 2.1M reviews. I think that's a decent proxy to tell us that Yahoo Mail is _hugely_ popular still.

That’s a pretty serious accusation to make with zero attribution or sourcing.

If YouTube isn't for kids, why do they host videos that are clearly and explicitly targeting toddlers? For example: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=videos+for+todd...

The most egregious thing, in my mind, is that YouTube wraps toddler videos in ads for things like the John Wick movie and local breweries in my area. The fact that this isn't a difficult problem to solve is the strongest indication that A) YouTube knows exactly what's going on, and B) they frankly do not care because they can make a buck off of showing shockingly inappropriate content to children.

(Author here) Absolutely! It's amazing how complex things get on the configuration side as you try to get smarter about autoscaling. The big downside of trying to be too clever here is that you wind up with a wildly brittle autoscaling setup that falls over as soon as the underlying assumptions around the relationship between your metrics and your scaling needs change. As in many things engineering, we've found that it's best to keep the configuration as simple as possible and use a solid foundation of reporting / alerting to give you an early heads up that you need to revisit and update your autoscaling strategy.

APFS is already out in the latest versions of iOS 10.

TFA states: "Amazon Athena uses Presto with ANSI SQL support and works with a variety of standard data formats, including CSV, JSON, ORC, and Parquet."

How would that be different than just putting ads right on the main display?

Stack Overflow Jobs allows you to do this, in addition to specifying the technologies that you like to work with.

Their HN username gives you a hint as to why.

It did not. You might be thinking of the fact that the headphone jack was recessed in a way that caused many 3.5mm headphone plugs not to fit:

Tim mentioned on the earnings call today that the SE is supply constrained because the SE is selling far better than they projected that it would.

Yep, Apple has a public beta channel now: https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/

They explicitly stated in the last earnings call that they would not break out Apple Watch sales separately for competitive reasons.

What problem does the extra 176MB present to you when you likely have 256+GB of disk storage?

Is this official or otherwise endorsed by Heroku?

Declining print subscriptions, most likely, and pressures to increase profit margins. They're ceasing print publication, but continuing to operate the website.

This is unfortunate, but that's the nature of publishing in this newfangled media landscape. (As they say.)

You have an impossibly selective memory. The iPhone was announced 6 months before it shipped, for example.

The problem is that to simplify an interface further after a certain point, you need to remove features. But the features you remove will be inessential to some people but absolutely essential to others. Even if you've reduced your target market to "the elderly who want to use email to send and receive pictures", you've still got a huge pile of features that you'll never reduce far enough to make it simple for everyone.

Overcast has a web client, too. If Overcast used the UUID, it wouldn't be able to give you the web client side of things easily.

Incorrect. You see a flash because the new image has't been loaded yet, but all the other images have been previously loaded and cached, so your browser can display them almost immediately.

Try going back to page 1 — each page will appear to load instantly if you have all the images cached.
