Unfortunately, Samsung have decided that only developers can transfer files to/from their phone over USB! There are reasons why people prefer Huawei - and usability is one!

The persistent redesigning the UI just when you have finally figures out where the last change put the things you need daily is another.

If Google designed cars the brake pedal would go somewhere else every three months!

Comment Just more leftist propaganda (Score 1) 251

For those who have been asleep for the last ten years: the left claims that *everything* Trump does will be an end-of-the-world disaster. The left has barely finished screaming about how dropping a few bombs on Iran will start WWIII. Just like Trump making fun of Kim Jun Un will start WWIII.

The left is also screaming about how 14 million people will die if Trump stops some obvious government waste, fraud, and abuse.

None of this stuff ever happens. It is just propaganda.

BTW: diversity hiring is a civil rights violation, and - in the long run - the worst thing you can do for minorities.

Comment Re: Meaningless metric (Score 1) 70

Quality is more important than quantity.

Not in modern bean-counter business management. All the product/service has to do is pass the bar of "good enough" and how much of it you can accomplish is the primary metric after that. For many businesses now the good enough bar is just what the competitor offers. As long as they are not significantly better in the same price class there's no reason to do better.

And since healthcare is a for-profit venture most places, that's what's used. How many people can we get in/out the door in a day?

Except this wouldn't actually solve this. You'd be able to share the business logic, which would be a benefit. But you wouldn't be able to share any of the UI, system, or OS interaction code which is where all the incompatibilities come. If you just wanted to share business logic, there were already ways you could do that (write it in C would be one way).

Also, if they really wanted to do that, they should consider going the opposite way and bringing Kotlin to Swift. Kotlin also has a significant server side use that's growing (mainly by replacing Java), Swift is iOS and Mac only. They'll find a lot more people willing to learn Kotlin than Swift. Of course Apple won't consider that due to NIH and control issues.
