iOS developers who have done work for watchOS know that, during development, you are barely able to connect an Apple Watch to Xcode. It is flaky as hell. So thinking that someone can remotely control an Apple Watch is a bit hard to believe.

Ghost touches and typing "we are in control" with predictive text, sounds more plausible but still raises an eyebrow.

> I think Apple should have just allowed third party app stores without any guarantee of malware/fraud protection

No way they can do that, because the second something malware or fraud happens, you can imagine the headlines. Apple advertises the iPhone as a secure and private device. By notarizing third-party store apps, they still have the ability to remove malicious apps.

"- Calls for ban on addictive techniques like endless scrolling or automatic play

- Introducing a digital “right to not be disturbed” and list of good design practices

- Young people are most vulnerable to addictive technologies

Addictive design features (e.g. endless scrolling, pull-to-refresh, never-ending auto-play videos, push notifications, temporarily available stories, likes, read-receipts) play on people’s vulnerabilities and desires and nudge them into spending more time on these platforms."

Without all those things listed at the end, that's a pretty major change to how most popular apps work today.

SF is in a similar situation as Barcelona, kind of. SF is 121.4 km2 while BCN is 101.9 km². SF is sea-locked on three sides while BCN is sea-locked on one side and on the other has mountains. As per the map, SF is mainly single-family housing while BCN is mostly multi-family housing (average is 12 homes per building). Population (in 2016) is 870k vs 1.6m.

If all those low density areas in SF were converted to high density, SF could grow a lot and housing issues could be plaited temporally (years?) but after a while it be the same thing, where there's more demand than supply.

Personally, I think having single-family housing inside a city is a waste of space but a city full of 30 story buildings usually is not very pretty. I like the Eixample, were streets are wide and buildings just the right size so there is plenty of sunlight, airflow and all that. Obviously if I were an owner of a single-family home in SF I would be against of converting my quiet, low-density neighborhood into all high-rise.

Tricky problem to solve.

There sure are some things to fix (Tutorial label placement on iPhone X, some buttons look blurry) and some behaviour that is not native (like the transition between screens), could be implemented but gives a clue that it might not be a native app.

Anyhow, the game is pretty fun!

It's always sad when a company has issues for months and nobody either sees them or acts during that time. Though 'Desde la barrera todo el mundo es torero'.

A developer can generate these promo codes for their app, so a potential customer or reviewer can get a free copy of the app.

"Nowadays we have people instead of topics. I have nothing against people, but maybe, if I follow a great software architect, I'd like to hear what he's got to say about software, not about other shits."

That's so true. I want to follow some people on Twitter because sometimes they tweet very useful things, but the amount of "noise"/tweets I don't care about is too high. Tons of people put very good info on Twitter because is quick and easy compared to writing a blog post.

That's why they are doing the Model 3.

There's a Chrome extension that allows you to see the videos: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wwdchrome/lohmkcog...

My fear with LASIK (and the other procedures) is that there isn't (I think) a ton of people who have had LASIK when they were younger (like 20) and lived up to 90 years old to know if there might be issues as we age, or incompatibility with other procedures... I worry that it could cause problems further down the line, as we age.

There's lot of people who've had these procedures done, mostly without consequences but some with issues of varying degrees of severity, but there is not a ton of people who've had this early in their life and been fine for 70 years.

Though I suppose plenty of people were corrected in their 50s or older and lived much longer and never had an issue.
