Anemic extra battery Projector (kinda cool, but a niche) Speaker (very niche area between a phone speaker and a bigger Bluetooth one) Camera (great in concept, but it sucked).
I bet if the camera was good, things would have been different (I was going to buy one until I read the camera review, and I know of one other person that felt the same, considering how few Moto Z's I've seen, 2 people seems relevant).
Android definitely has the option (if you turn it on) to have notifications not show up in the status bar. I don't use that option, but likely would if notches became a thing.
I like seeing what I have at a glance to decide if I even want to pull down the status bar, but definitely different strokes for different folks there. And as you point out, only one way is notch compatible.
Does the title bar really have that much space though?
I guess it depends on the phone size, but mine fits 14 things.
Currently, I have 12. PayPal, email, text, voicemail, photo, podcast I'm listening to, pay store, Bluetooth status, vibrate, wifi status, battery (the time is there too).
Sure, I'm deleting a few of those right now, but I often have all of the statuses (5), 2 emails, what I'm listening to, Facebook. That's 9 of the 12 already. The notch is a bad design for my usage, and I bet some people get even more notifications (I turned off the bad offenders).
I assume it isn't a shift to long vs short term view of profits, but instead the reality of competition.
25 years ago, when I was a child, there was one supermarket around, now there are 4 within a quarter mile.
25 years ago, they could have a bad experience and still get all of the business, now they need to compete on things such as the experience, or I'll go across the street or 500 yeards further down the road.
You're listing things that feel like they are here, or what I'd consider mobile payments and not necessarily e-commerce. Though I can see where you're coming from saying mobile payments is a subset of e-commerce.
In the US mobile payments basically don't work, I got that.
I'm not entirely sure, because I'm working from memory of articles from around then.
It's likely an example of simultaneous invention in many places, once the tech hit, many places did it. The non US world far earlier, because in the US, Visa cards were ubiquitous, and we were slow to adopt SMS.
I mean more of the gluten free fad. Though gluten sensitivity is starting to look real, and everyone that throws shade about it seems to be ignorant to the fact that Celiac's wasn't even identified until the 40s.
More of a "I'm on the blah diet and I feel better because thaetons" is what I meant.
Or even a damned clense if it isn't being done to dangerous extent.
I've found the gee wow rollercoaster of some substances helpful for self reflection and growth.
Maybe gee whoah is more accurate, but some substances cram self knowledge at a place that's barely comprehensible and could definitely be called a roller coaster, then trigger the profound part of the brain hard (DMT, I'm looking at you).

Yeah, which makes me wonder, why aren't they targeting credit cards.
It seems way easier (there'd never be a question of using a pin), and I wouldn't call using a credit card draining an account.
Guess i should rtfa.
The summary implies they are using debit cards to get cash.
Interesting.
I'm not sure which is better.

How is a status bar that can't fit my statuses functional?

Alipay was SMS based in the early 2000's, right?

Real questions (not rhetorical, I don't know the answer).
How have they perfected e-commerce beyond what I do in the US?
How have they perfected bike sharing beyond dozens of European cities?
I feel like they made mobile payments work too.
The e-commerce (pretty universal) and bike sharing (I'm assuming Copenhagen invented that) are pretty rediculous claims.
I didn't say that.
But it's silly to pretend it's "just protiens" like that is a meaningful statement.
New protiens pose a non-zero risk.
The idea that a protien can't be a new chemical that is poisonous baffles me. It's as stupid as the idea that GMOs are dangerous because they're GMOs.
I'm not super anti GMO (though I think contamination of wild crops is a risk), but protiens can be really bad.
Protiens can be poisonous, and protiens can destroy your brain.
Wow, only Chevy looks close, and they're about a year behind.
I just meant when you said hundreds of pounds of pressure, if you meant pressure or force (pounds being force).
It sounds like what you do is take the hundreds of pounds in a small area and diffuse it over a larger area, reducing pressure but not force?

The more expensive part doesn't shock me.
It's the knowing it's a sugar pills that does.
I'm all about placebos too FWIW. Like if someone does a weird (but ultimately healthy) diet, I'm all for it.
1) placebo is strong
2) any mindfulness about what one eats will lead to a healthier person.
Well, that's insane.
WTF is wrong with us as a species.
But thanks, that's fascinating.
C'mon man, almost all of us here can count to 50.
Pressure of force?
If pressure how much pressure?
Yes, sugar pills would be a decent first round of treatment, except for they'd stop working if everybody knew that was what was happening.
I remember trolling as being like the fishing term.
Basically putting stuff out their just to get a response.
They (psychedelics) were made illegal when?
