The problem is Apple makes it as difficult as possible to install apps that don't come from their app store. And they will also spin massive amounts of propaganda that any app not directly from the appstore is malware or worse. (Granted, Google also tries this scare tactic with Android as well) Can you imagine if Microsoft tried spinning that any applications not from their MS/Windows Store were unsafe, and made it take several extra steps to install any of them? And yet that is exactly what happens on mobile.

At the same time, I do understand Apple's position a bit. Their app store provides a huge amount of captive consumers and a huge nascent SEO that would be hard for Basecamp to match just by using their own website and search rankings.

How so? I've used Brave on my phone for about 2-3 years now and granted I do turn off all of the added rewards nonsense etc. It's still a very serviceable Chromium-based browser that includes an ad-blocker. I'm not married to the idea of using it, but at the time there weren't any other Chrome-based solutions that offered an ad-blocker that I could find. I dunno what Google does, but Chrome always renders pages way faster than Firefox or Puffin, and at the time FF mobile crashed constantly as well. It's much better now, but still renders incredibly slowly even on flagship CPUs.

Making mobile shovelware is significantly different from developing for PC or console hardware. The market and what consumers are looking for in content aren't the same.

And time per order fulfilled. And time per item picked. And route deviations compared to the theoretical optimal path.

If you like being a robot, go for it. Most people don't.

Little bit worse than that. Their time is managed down to the second as they are tracked. Even taking a bathroom break counts against your quotas and averages. In some Amazon warehouses pink slips are generated automatically if your numbers are considered...inadequate.

Reminds me of the scene in 5th Element where Corbin gets fired by mail.

Because you get that for free on any airline right now: Flights have between 5-20 people on them. Everyone has their own row because barely anyone is flying.

I'm sure none of that has anything to do with repeated budget cuts for the CDC in the last several years, including dissolving the Pandemic Response team in the last year. Can't be held responsible for any of that, nope.

The issue is Trump isn't a doctor nor a scientist, and Whitehouse briefings aren't the time to be armchair musing about the latest pseudoscience or highly experimental testing being done. He doesn't have some secret sources, he's just reading random shit some bumblefuck on Fox and Friends or Twitter retweet he saw earlier that day said. It's irresponsible and inappropriate on multiple levels. Especially given he has a personal cult that hangs on his every word and is constantly "interpreting the word".

The rapid prototyping is being welded by human welders, but I believe they plan to move to more automated fabrication techniques once the design has been proven. Compared to Boeing who computer-tested and built the entire fabrication rig before even building their first test rocket. Both will get you to where you want to be, but the latter is the more cautious approach.

What if I told you TFC was a poor man's TF1, and the term TFC was a misnomer?

Which is why they specifically said it was being used to pressure the company to "rethink" their assertion that it can't be used. Because as they said, if it was that or dying from no ventilator at all, this may function acceptably as a stopgap. Likely the company just didn't want to assume any possible liability or bad press, so they claimed it couldn't.

I don't have much sympathy for airlines that spent 97% of their profits on stock buybacks and now require a bailout after a single quarter of rough earnings.

Ten years ago when the economic stimulus was being lampooned as fiscally negligent and "mortgaging our childrens' futures" by the GOP? Where they fought tooth and nail politicizing the budget like never before. Then Trump ran budget deficits even worse than the Obama years and magically they don't comment on those deficit numbers anymore and apparently the kids are all okay...

AFAIK they said they will support DS4 controllers, but I would assume most first-party titles will make use of the DS5 features in some capacity. I could totally see them being fully functional for many 3rd-party games, however.

I drove CA1 along the Big Sur leg the other week and while I wasn't racing anyone, I was making a spirited pace of about 100mins for the 75mi route. When I pulled in for a break after that I needed some ibuprofen as the focus required really drained me. Much respect to racers.
