. But the population is not currently declining. In fact China's population is projected to increase, not decline.
Why do you think that?
There are plenty of Android games already in existence which would run natively.
Well there's the point, the company doesn't care because they can make it your problem.
Introduce government regulation to make it the company's problem and these things would be solved for the benefit of everyone.
Why pay for you to drive to work? Are you working while driving?
You're carrying out an activity solely for the benefit of the employer that you wouldn't be doing otherwise and you're unable to use the time for your own activity - you are working.
I'm fairly sure the $80-100k salary you make at the office is perfectly fine... the $9 a day ($0.45/mile, 30 miles) you make on the drive to work isn't going to add a whole lot.
Those who live closer or work remotely don't have these costs.
If you assume that there are 252 working days in a year, then your commute costs you $2268 annually, which you have to pay after tax. Many people pay significantly more for commuting, and earn less than $80k.
If you didn't commute daily then you might not need a car at all, or could reduce the number of cars in the household.
For example the following figures published for the UK, where most people commute using public transport:

These costs are paid from people's post-tax salary and the tax rates there are higher than the US.
Another goal should be to make companies put proper thought into where they locate their premises if they need one. Currently they will just gravitate towards the business districts where there are lots of offices but usually very little in the way of affordable housing and extremely congested travel routes at peak times. They don't care about the high cost of housing or the high cost (both time/money) of commuting because that becomes the individual employee's problem. If you make it the company's problem then they will start doing something about it.
Are you on drugs? The story here is on a robot (!) walking (!) or rather failing at it. Your comment makes zero sense.
You are clearly an idiot with a gigantic ego. These terms are decades old established disciplines. If you had any actual on-target understanding, you would know that. Do not expect everybody to think as sloppily as you.
"Communicating with a system in natural language" is a sub-discipline of "NLP". Incidentally, LLMs cannot really do that. They need an NLP layer for that to work. Raw LLM output is not something you want to use.
And your claim is that one-fourth of the entire human race is not only online, but is on a high-speed connection and gaming DAILY?!?
If we define high-speed connection as 200mbps or faster, than over 70% of the entire world has it. So, yeah.
I have NO fucking idea
You sure don't.
Since you claim to, prove it with factual statistics. 1.9 billion. Daily. Define gamer first, since Grandpa still playing Pac-Man is something Capitalism already forgot to give a shit about.
So the need for an airline-specific app is...?
There isn't. You would still be able to check-in and do everything else from their website. The only thing that will go away are their check-in counters at the airport. The "app" part is because a) many people don't know what a website is, and those who know assume that a website can only be accessed from a PC..
If people are going to participate in the online world of today, then perhaps they should be forced to take a test first. Because I simply cannot subscribe to the concept that people don’t know what a website is. The fuck do idiots think our clickbait infected world hyperlinks to? The toilet seat?
Browsers are literally software that vendors pay tens of millions of dollars every year just to fight over who is default browser. THAT is how much websites still matter. Assuming a smartphone junkie doesn’t know what a website is, is like assuming EV owners don’t know what gasoline is. Or why it exists. I want to hope that people are ignorant but not that ignorant.
and there is no such thing as some kind of right to infinite discovery.
Thanks for making it clear that you are not interested in the facts of the matter. How pathetic.
Seems to me, they are just insuring their income stream stays nice and healthy.
Yep. Commercial education is something that does not work.
Sorry, but "multiplication tables" and doing basic algebra in your head is not Math. It is bullshit make-work. You can carry a calculator (most of us do), a slide-rule or pen and paper. What counts is whether you know what multiplication does and how it works, not some rote memorization. I say that as a PhD-level engineer.
