I'm not sure what the business model is here (I have no interest in iMessage) but unlike the previous ones this solution doesn't require a Mac mini farm. Messages are sent directly from the Android device.

So it doesn't require a monthly fee to be profitable.

Most kids are clueless with tech to be honest. Yes they know how to use it, but they have no idea how it works behind the scenes. This has pretty scary consequences on how they are easily manipulated or scammed.

Some of them are very smart, sure, but on average I'd say they are less tech savvy than Gen X and millennials who grew up at a time you couldn't use computers without some kind of knowledge of how it works (and smartphones didn't exist).

It's possible to implement XMPP with E2E encryption, there are at least 2 ways to do it.

But of course it only works if both users use a client and server that support it.

The name won't tell you if they were born in France or not.

And you can still be French even if your family hasn't been living in France for 4 generations.

I guess what you mean to say is "you can't really be French if you're not white"?

Dude it was done by a French citizen.

Terrorists who do this kind of thing don't care about Palestine, and they don't want to reduce Muslim hate.

On the contrary, they want more conflicts. Just the the far right Nazis that will jump on the occasion to antagonize all Muslims over this event.

It's hard to find quality games in the sea of single dev weekend projects on itch io...

Yes, especially when you consider that the human brain runs on 15W of power!

Yes, that's the thing.

The 3DS and before had a smaller screens, but games were designed for that screen size.

The Switch is basically to play games designed to run on a TV so there is a limit how small you can go before it becomes hard to play.

Yes, I thought he was talking about the film industry ("we're fucked") and how AI is/would be used in movie. In which case he would be competent to talk about it.

But he's just confusing science-fiction and reality. Maybe all those ideas he's got will make good movies, but they're poor predictions.

Google developers can easily find a job elsewhere. If they stay at Google the chose to.
