The "Alternative Marketplaces" that are already in Apple's approval queue to launch imminently in the EU are filled with emulators.

The problem here is that the open app ecosystem available to the EU creates a massive disparity between the capabilities of the platform there vs everywhere else in the world. The headlines about emulators coming to EU iPhones have been going for a few weeks now. If you can run emulators in Europe but not in the US, users simply are not going to stand for it.

I was going to say the Apple is about to have their Lunch eaten, but in the context of gradeschool cafeteria analogies, it's really more like they are the bully and they finally got their nose punched in by the little scrawny kid.. only that kid was the EU and maybe not so scrawny. Keep it up!

"Going Sleeper"? I don't get it. If you were laid off, why wouldn't you say so? You're under no obligation to a retailer you no longer work for, least of all to use some kind of coded language.

For economy cars its cheaper and has less losses. Robot auto gets the losses to same but that costs more. The less losses part then matter(ed) for gas and to get better acceleration out of the small engines.

Goes for scooters and motorbikes too, cvt is nice and all but for same engine its kinda suck and cheaper smaller engine bikes that sucking kinda matters just for running your errands.

As for ev's so? Are the ev's going to kill small engined econoboxes? Does it even matter when you can just learn to drive it fairly quickly anyway?

Now some 3rd world weirdness perspective. I know some people who "can't" drive an automatic, not really sure why but they just scare it.

John Oliver on Last Week Tonight did a whole show on McKinsey. The service they actually provide, as has been noted earlier in these comments, is a way for management to deflect responsibility for what they were always planning to do, anyway, which is usually budget cuts and layoffs, and/or massive boosts to executive pay packages.

Here's the show.

Oh, and there's no such warning. When you get into the backseat of a robotaxi, it won't even start moving until everybody is wearing their seatbelts. I hardly see any passenger leaping into the front seat and grabbing the controls in a traffic incident.

Nah. I've rode a couple of robotaxis around the city, and while the ride is nice, it's clear we're nowhere near "get in a car and go to sleep." For one thing, the vehicles aren't even allowed on highways yet. And they require months of training on any particular urban area before they can perform reliably. I don't think there's been any training in rural or even suburban environments, which have different challenges. What you say may eventually be possible, but we're still a long way off.

If it works. We had these demos on kickstarters a decade ago.

A phone can be the same size too. What one needs to ask why is it a device.

How does the publisher of a newly launched website go about seeking advertisers to advertise on that website without going through a network or exchange?

Ios has been the most hacked mobile platform to date.

Anyway the point is that you would need to pay for off-appstore installs which is just 'tarded all around and against the dma anyway, the whole point is the exact opposite.

There are countless problems with this study. How about: People who are asked to self-report what they eat to strangers might be more likely to lie about what they eat to seem more healthy. In which case, any correlation with outcomes is meaningless.

How would you make, say, an IRC to HTTP proxy without JavaScript? Would it be practical to require the user to periodically press F5 to refresh the view of the channel to check for new messages sent to the channel?
