Cook saved Job's Apple? Hardly. Every aspect of today's iPhone violates what Job's stood for. Craig Federighi began his tenure by advertising 200 new features for the new version of iOS. Shortly later he did the same for the Mac. Feature bloat has been Federighi's prime focus. My iPhone is so packed with irrelevancies that is hard to use.


Then switch devices. Oh but you might need to find an alternate solution for your iMessage groups. And your apple watch. And your family icloud plan. And the apple ebooks you bought. And your airpod maxes. And your protection plan. And the airtags you own.

The apple of Steve Jobs is gone, but the apple of today is as sticky as ever.


I switched four years ago.

Those proprietary periphery devices you mentioned? Lesson learned. There are more expensive life lessons than owning a useless Apple Watch.


Maybe this new title is what is needed.


It's not clear to me if what I wrote is wrong. How should I re-write it?


The HN title should match the original title of the article, unless the original title is misleading or linkbait.

We're specifically trying to avoid the Reddit-esque practice of writing a title to draw attention to something specific in the original article or make a claim about it. That's not fair to the authors/publishers of the original article, or to the audience.

If you want to draw attention to something in the article, you can do so in a comment in the HN thread.


Just look at the faces of these two men. Make your own judgement about their mental state.


Please don't editorialize titles. The guidelines are very clear about this:

... please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

Also, mainstream politics news is off topic on HN. We make exceptions when it's a major breaking event, i.e., something that can be reasonably characterized as an "interesting new phenomenon".

I recently received a battered package similar in appearance to the one shown. According to the USPO clerk packages such as mine once battered accidentally are opened by USPO personal to inspect for damage to the contents and then taped back together. I can imagine shipping labels getting exchanged accidentally in such a situation.


As one grows older, one is responsible for building one's own motivation. This is relatively easy to do.

To build motivation I spend time actually day-dreaming about success. I am trying to get an emotional involvement with an exact vision of what success would be like. I want to emotionally experience success and develop a yearning for it.

That is what I need to get started on a project. Once I'm started, I find that it is often easy to get so involved in what I'm doing that it becomes hard to stop. Remember those all-nighters when you just couldn't bare to stop. You were in the grove. You were hot!

That's it. Get emotionally involved with success and get in the grove to get it done.


I politely suggest that the point of politics is to get elected or re-elected. Politicians don't try to convince others. They use talking points known to be already favored by voters.

It's leaders you are thinking of. JFK, Bernie Sanders, and AOL are some of the very few that come to mind.


In 1968 all we had was McCracken's short book on FORTRAN and a large number of utterly inpenetrable IBM manuals. When IBM finally came out with "FORTRAN Programmers Guide", it was revolutionary. Asking other programmers was very useful.

None of this is useful for you other than discussing things with fellow programmers.


Apple started with UNIX and built on that.


The information on this site is so dense it is nearly impossible to get a clear picture of what is being said. Human beings do not write like this. Human beings do not read things like this. I'd like to give you advice on revising this, but you folks yourselves don't know what you want to say.

You want to create a high tech service company for organizations with practical projects. You need to find a CEO with practical grounding in one or more of these fields. He should be a superb communicator and a demanding leader. Only such a person can develop a vision and a practical plan for you. You are so remote from the practical world that you can't do this yourselves.

By the way sounds like you folks have got one hot technology!

P.S. Don't let a computer write your marketing literature again. It's fatal.
