They’re very supportive of anti trump crowd on twitter. Could be a front, but I would expect them to be anti trump in general.

Everyone resents these guys. I don’t blame you. There’s some serious hatred from ivy leaguers. Serious hatred.

No I see your point. I also think this is a harmful stereotype. It’s not about your point.

I'll rewrite this comment:

"Users are idiots!"

Seems like an inappropriate contribution

The first link you have makes it sound like clearance does not transfer, unless I’m reading it wrong

Hmm that’s a good point, I hadn’t thought about team size. Although even with a large team, there may be limits to what you can do if the product must be cross platform. It’s funny I use windows myself so this is not a feature for me, I’m really just trying to see it their way that’s all.

They do that for the rest of their audience, for whom that is important motivating context, or just informational context. I think It’s a good approach to writing, and it’s he really awkward to their main readership otherwise.

There’s even evidence that this is true, for who knows their audience better than them? You, while making up a a portion of the audience, are not the main portion, or so it seems, unless they don’t understand their audience that well after all... although that seems pretty unlikely

For Mac users t is a feature, it means 100% dev focus on their platform and tight integration/up to date ness with all Mac features. It’s also obvious a problem, if they have windows users team mates or friends. It’s got pros and cons.

What are you arguing? You wouldn’t take the position that it’s guarenteed to succeed, that seems absurd to me. The person you replied to only made the point that it could fail. And in your reply you actually took the opportunity to degrade artists and thinkers, which seems cruel and unnecessary.

You’ve found a flaw, I think a pedantic one, in the example they gave.

Here’s an example that is less flawed, and I think if you had considered their point rather than sought minute flaws you could see this yourself: the palm note vs the iPhone. Hopefully, even if my analogy is not literally flawless, you can take my point.

Also, sorry for spamming you, something you wrote struck me and I wanted to see what else you wrote. Hope you don’t mind this.

Why do you say thanks? They may not want to say any more than they’ve already said, or they may be unfriendly to you.
