Regardless of the merits of the detailed examples, a lot of the article just struct me as saying, "If it's not from Disney you can't trust it!" Never mind your local children book authors! They may be up to something no good! CONSUME ONLY DISNEY.
You open 10 accounts taking 10 hard credit pulls in a single year, your rating is going to be in the sub 500 range. Good luck buying a house or car in the next half dozen years. You'll probably be declined by card 5 or so from just the speed the hard pulls are coming in at.
I get that you're joking but the erosion of our language to this pseudo-marketing language is devolving us completely as a species.
No corporation can deny the meaning of common words.
Skill is not the same as "number of apps interfacing with a hardware system," and this perversion of language continues to be tolerated.
Corporations want this because it means they can make a word mean whatever will benefit them the most, either to limit their own culpability or to trigger a buying response.
Amazon wants to take the word "skills" and apply it to "app-count" but if this was truly an amazing product, it would work on every app and not require special coding just to get it to work.
Really interesting choice of words since Apple decided that they can 'make a word mean whatever will benefit them the most' when they changed 'app' from being an appearance in a sport to 'software interfacing with a hardware system.' In riling against the practice you subtly reinforce it. Bravo!
What MacBook Pro model has a spinning hard drive?
With small sample size, Cord-Cutters tend to have been on higher tier plans and just replaced them with streaming services. I know a several who use HBO Go and NFL season passes rather than $150/mo cable packages.
Got a refurb phone from iCare+ for another issue. It developed that problem intermittently within 2 weeks. Took it to an Apple store but it wasn't happening then so they wouldn't do anything but clearly knew the issue. Told me if it happened again to record a video of it. Within 3 seconds of me arriving home it happened and I grabbed a video. When I went back to the Apple store a different guy took a look at the video and in the first second or so said, "Yep, I've seen this happen before." and handed me a new phone.
Sample size 1, ancedote is not the singular form of data etc...
Work is force times distance. Just because they're forcing it in doesn't mean it's work if there's no actual movement.
The revenue of the entire video game industry (91 billion) is less than that of a single automotive manufacturer (Fiat at 113 billion) How much open source is coming from automotive manufacturers compared to video games?
Actually the biggest thing it adds is double the memory which will:
A) Greatly increase the lifetime of the device.
B) Greatly decrease frustration of when things get killed as you swap around apps.
Hey funny you mention that, There was this article earlier that said selfish extortion is the best way to win the prisoner's dilemma. That sounds like modern corporations dealing with local governments in a nutshell1
Should we teach everyone trigonometry? Or should we just teach basic arithmetic since all you really need is to balance your checkbook? You could just hire a professional accountant instead!
Should we teach everyone creative-writing? Or should we ask instead if the rules of grammar are enough? After all you can just hire a professional author or buy a book! Why should everyone need to know how to write?
I would think that crappy front page editorials from a single individual would make long time readers Feel right at home

Some possible ways to determine if we're living in a simulation:
Look for signs of optimizations/short cuts in the simulation:
Is there a maximum speed?
Is there a minimum size?
Is there a limit as to determining an object's position and momentum?
etc...
