Making a good product that works is hard and affects the bottom line. Why would they bother when then they know that iDiots will just buy the crap anyway? So design it just enough, stick it in a sleek looking wrapper and throw it out the door.
us people with children quite like knowing that the neighbor we allow our children to spend time with are not trying to expose them to content they are not yet mature enough to process yet.
So are you expecting people to ditch all other ways to get entertainment and rely solely on this latest iProduct? I mean, it probably is in the T&C but I can't see it happening.
Note that a public school in the UK means the opposite - a private school.
I'm from the Uk and I've never heard a private school called a public school. Private schools cost fees, public schools are free and do all the catchment stuff.
Here's mine.
The USA spent about $600 billion for the military in 2017.
We could use that money to feed people in Africa instead buying bombs and guns.
$600 billion would buy about $1.25 of food a day for every person in Africa. I'm not seeing prosperity there.
Why Africa? Start with your own poor before sorting out other entire continents.
Even the casual streamer easily has a few hundred viewers, which on Twitch would be considered pretty good. The big time streamers have at least 100K viewers at any time.
Yeah, but they have 1.3 billion people so you would expect higher audience numbers.
A bit of both really, people always say after whatever time but they never say until when. At least they do that though because I downloaded a 9gb update for something the other day and that would wipe out some of these peoples connections in one go. But then I have a high speed actually unlimited connection where I live so it's not an issue.
3. HyperLoop: SF is 83% going to get the HyperLoop according to sources and when this happens you can be almost anywhere in the Bay Area in under 15 minutes. With stops.
The hyperloop just isn't going to happen. Get over it.
"Teachers herd crocodiles of small children across town without the constant fear that one of them will stray into traffic"
what the fuck is a crocodile of small children? That's gotta be a mistranslation thing. Anyway, let's all not teach our children about the dangers of roads so they can just walk out into traffic when they're older and move away I guess.
If I have a labor budget of $24 a day/hour I can pay 3 people $8 and hour to work for their 8 hour shifts and I can pay 4 people $6 an hour to work for their 6 hour shift. However if I pay each 6 hour worker $8 an Hour my budget has increased to $32 a day/hour.
So it works if you pay a flat hourly rate but it doesn't if you somehow decide to pay 8 hours for 6 hours work? It seems obvious to have people work less and make the same you have to pay more but why are you like 'my worker has to have $320 a week'?
In the real world you can't just hire more people. Businesses (even non-profits like hospitals) have fixed budgets they must meet. If they hire more people the cost of production goes up and the charge for services must be increased. The same work for more money means lower productivity.
If your business isn't making enough money to pay enough people to do the job properly then you don't have a viable business and making up for it by having as few staff paid as little as possible doesn't do you any favours in the long run.
Honestly I hope they shut down all the games that have loot boxes that do anything beyond cosmetic looks. Any company that puts items in to loot boxes that increases power levels over regular game play options needs shut down.
Just get rid of them all together, pubg is the worst, its cosmetics only but you get the same shitty cosmetic again and again and again, but it's ok because I guess because you can sell them back for a fraction of a percent of the cost.
Because with those card packs that is 100% of the deal you know you are getting rather than being hidden away inside a different product that you have already paid full price for. Also you can take any cards you have, sell them, trade them, burn them, whatever you want.
It never made sense to me why you want to have a wireless charger that needs plugged in that delivers less power less efficiently than just plugging the wire into the phone and skipping a step.

It just (kinda) works
Definitely number 2.

I'd like to see your math on that.

Imagine where we would be and what we could have done... interstellar by now.
Like the voyager probes? Well, kind of anyway.

The goal is now and always has been to extract as much profit while providing the bare minimum service that they can get away with.

Technically it's always after midnight.
Nope, pre installed games only.
Oh right, as you were then.

We really should build a wall to keep out bad hombres like you people.
Don't forget to make him pay for it.

They did.
Nothing in this world is free, and only a thief or a fool believes otherwise.
Unless your an heir of someone who wrote some popular music before you were even born. Then you get to ride their coattails to bags of free money.

Instead it's a bunch of self-important celebrities whining that they don't like the President.
To be fair, he is a dick.
Fair enough then.
