I thought the assumed deal with faang companies is long hours in exchange for great pay and benefits. Am I wrong about that?
Amazon is famous for treating it's employees like shit. As soon as a recruiter mentions them, I'm not interested. Why do people return their calls?
So... it's just a $300 version of cheap "hidden camera" glasses people use to film shitty porn?
Any head unit that doesn't update frequently will eventually suck.
I don't know why this was modded down, It's absolutely correct. I have a paid version of NBCs Peacock service (provided by some unrelated purchase). It boggles my mind when they think I'd be Ok with commercials in paid content.
As a bad developer, the idea of less shitty code appeals to me!
Ignorant boomers sharing his BS on facebook was a direct contributor to his victory in 2016.
In addition to removing Fortnite from the App Store, Apple has threatened to cut off Epic’s access to development tools necessary to create software including the Unreal Engine as soon as Friday.
True, 1/2 poverty level and only 2K people is far from proof. I only said the Finland study suggested a negligible impact on employment.
No study I know of has proven UBI will or will not work. That's why it needs more study. One giant study would be prohibitively expensive, so we'll get a few smaller ones and draw our conclusions from that.
Unlike most welfare programs, they can make more money if they still go to work. Most people want more money. Most people will still go to work.
Some people may go to school, or stay home to raise the kids. I'm fine with that, it's still good for society and worth paying for.
The kind of person who is able to work, but instead chooses to live on only 12 grand a year is probably a drain on society no mater what. I'd bet we're all better off paying 'em to stay home. Hospitalization and incarceration cost a whole lot more.
Do you have a link to a study that suggests this outcome?
Here's a link to the largest study I could find so far. It looks to suggest no change in employment. IE: People who receive basic income are about as likely to work as people in the control group.

Thats just it, Epic wants to design, support, host, etc, it's _own_ app store on iOS. The direct cost to apple should be near zero with the exception of removing the artificial barriers they put up in the first place.
I love how fast they filed suite. They had papers written and the lawyer at the court house just waiting for apple to pull fortnite.
In 2016, Saleen entered a joint venture with the government of Rugao, a city in Jiangsu province with a population of roughly 1.4 million. The plan was for Saleen to use his experience, design, engineering and related technologies worth $800 million in the joint venture while maintaining a majority stake in the company with his American partners. Meanwhile, Rugao would bring $500 million in capital and $600 million in subsidized loans over three years to fund manufacturing sites and operations in exchange for a minority stake.
Writing in The Wall Street Journal, Saleen claims “the deal was a sham.” According to the racing legend, the joint venture applied for 510 Chinese patents based on his designs, technologies, trade secrets and engineering developments. He adds that most of these patent filings didn’t list him as an inventor. The company, known as Jiangsu Saleen Automotive Technologies (JSAT), unveiled a range of models 12 months ago.
Saleen asserts that the government of Rugao is attempting to take over the joint venture now that it has his intellectual property and patents. He claims that the director of corporate affairs for JSAT, Grace Yin Xu, has been missing since June 22 when she entered a government building shortly after refusing to lie to local law enforcement who wanted her to state Saleen’s business partner had provided false information and embezzled money. In addition, the company’s vice president of manufacturing, Frank Sterzer, was allegedly detained for six hours by the authorities.
Apparently the company and its IP have been effectively nationalized by the mainland Communist Chinese government.
Automakers need to find someway to keep the computers in cars up to date. Of course, I'd rather they followed the model of making each new version available to whatever generation of hardware will run it. Perhaps some automakers will. If so, that's who I'll do business with.
...but the OS lead was never to be regained.
Perhaps not in terms of desktop marketshare or revenue directly attributed to desktop operating systems. In terms of market cap and stock price tho, they seem to be doing just fine. I'd also argue MacOS is doing well in terms of quality.
They got a rare 2nd chance with iOS. Did they learn the lesson?
