Wow, did not expect that from Apple. Disappointing indeed!
I am in the same position except 7 years earlier and on my first bootstrapped startup. Any general advice to your younger self? Funnily enough there's another thread on HN for someone about to embark on this journey:…
Since yours is software its much easier to give away freebies. Discount codes, special features, early access features, etc are much easier to do than a physical product. Also its a great way to get feedback and…
It's entirely possible that a different app (that sells your location data) notified FlightRadar.
Customization.Yes DigitalClothing.No A bit confused regarding your formatting requirements there... but basically fitment and quality are most important to me and I'm not sure it's in your list. No, I don't know what…

It wouldn't be surprising if some Smart TVs are already doing this.

It sort of depends on the candidate. For a new grad, I'd be asking interview questions that are a little more textbook. Write something to traverse a tree, sorting, etc, i.e. theoretical stuff. For someone with…
If the government entity really is throttling that site, assuming they are competent, you're unlikely to find conclusive proof that they're actually throttling. Compare this with a full on blackout (i.e. Great Firewall…
