This sure seems like a niche case that rightfully Apple wouldn’t see in their actual-use statistics when making decisions like “should we remove the analog 3.5mm?”

> so I'll stick with my current SE as long as it's supported.

Seems to me you can assume that’s about to end.

You aren’t in the minority. You are in the silent majority though. Most people -and really emphasizing most in terms of what people actually buy not what they complain about online- don’t care about a 3.5mm jack.

It’s gone, it’s never coming back. To that end, once iPhone goes USB-C it’ll accelerate this majority non-issue.

No, you are entirely misreading that. You don’t just get everything reset to zero. So bad credit, yes, but also maybe a condition is that you are still on the hook for legal fees but they have been worked down to 50,000 and the payments have been rescheduled to 20 years.

It’s a legal process, not an eraser.

That’s not how it works Michael.

You don’t “avoid” fines by declaring bankruptcy. You can go through a bankruptcy process and as the debtor you may be forgiven from certain things that the other side will clearly never receive money from, but this isn’t a clean slate trick you just do and walk away from.

You basically convert your obligation into distrust. And can “refinance” some debts including judgments against you.

So, could Manning go through bankruptcy and have the court never receive their money, yes. But I wouldn’t say this is “avoiding the fine”, just changing it.

Can you help me understand the difference between leaker and whistleblower?

I don't know if you read your own link or not, but he's first off complaining about a community plugin and not an official one.

There is some truth that overlapping isn't well supported in Flutter CURRENTLY, but I can think of things that were well supported in RN 4 years ago either.

I can't think of a single reason I would want an overlay EXCEPT an alert, and even then, I don't think he's right.

Not to be TOO snarky but... I'm sure there are a whole bunch of Angular 1.0 people who said the same thing.

I'm not convinced it's a worse idea to guess lottery numbers than to guess what will be successful languages. To that point however, React isn't a language (or a framework) it's a library.

I would say Google has more to lose by dropping Dart and Flutter as a language and frame work than Facebook has/had by dropping React.

Isn’t that them starting by declaring that mobile is really important to them so they didn’t take this choice lightly?

Subset of a subset would be the first reason I would come up with.

Sure. But what if the entire world doesn’t want to learn JavaScript? What if you don’t already know HTML, CSS, and JS? RN makes ZERO sense at that point.

As a C developer, man, Flutter looks pretty damn logical!

They use the word once to say “we did a deep dive”. It’s never mentioned again.

I don’t know much about RN or Flutter; but why is it “insane” that flutter cant exist in 10 years but RN will still be king?

Why can’t RN die within 10 years? Because it’s been around since 2013 vs 2017? Because you like one more than the other?

I have concerns about Google’s commitment to Dart/Flutter, but I’m not sure one scenario is pants on head insane and the other just fact.

Right! I ran in to this when I wanted our app to “portal” to the website and just move Bluetooth data along. Apple thought about this and doesn’t like it.

Yea, it’s usually something with Motion or Smooth in it.

What’s crazy to me is that some people can’t see it! Or think they line it... or the lunatics that actually do!

Once you see it; I don’t think it can be unseen.

Not only are the built ins awful. Their lifespan is very short. I had my Samsung for about a year before it would let me know that “XYZ service was ending in one month”.

Disconnected that thing from WiFi and have never hooked it back up. Xbox/PS are just far superior smart devices.

I’ve never personally seen a TV that can’t have the soap opera effect turned off, but I believe you they are out there.

Apples to oranges feature though.

The signal should travel through walls better.

It’s wider bandwidth and faster nitrate so it should be cheaper.

All things equal with both factors above it should take less power (if for nothing else radio is on shorter time).

If not part of the spec itself, it likely will coincide with from the get go.

I have to agree that IoT (bleh. Coming from someone with an in-development connected device) will only become bigger with 5G.

It takes a little longer every time someone implies ad blockers are “stealing” or that it’s all ok because “it’s the model”. I completely refuse both of these ideas.
