I understand this is instead of the 2% cash back that Apple Card pays on full payments.

I assume the merchant fees are the same either way.

I think the automatic batching uses them to commit the changes at the end of the current task.

They could show a shipping rate to their typical target market (eg. “$5 shipping to continental US + tax”) or use a IP based address estimation.

I have an above average number of hands: 2 (like most people)

Or in other words, it’s not contradicting if you’re in a 70% group of people who said some answer.

I'm a happy customer for their reasonable prices. If the prices require banning extreme cost outliers like crypto mining I'm okay with that.

Maybe the key would be to keep the artificial diamond ring at a similar price point. Larger, designer brand, more manual labor details, I don’t know. Not saving money, but get a superior product.

I don't think Google is quite as neutral here. Google suggests adding "cheater" to the search of the victim's names and ranks those websites.

What if the manual of the hammer included a section "try hitting someone with it".

Now, Google's recommendation clearly came from seeing those words appear together, but to me Google is somewhere between completely neutral like grep, a hammer, or a car and fully editorialized like a blog or newspaper.

You’ll end up main connections and smaller ones to reach smaller destinations. This doesn’t mean it needs a single center like Paris. Compare the map to Germany where there are roughly 3 parallel fast North-South lines not focused on a single center.

Seems odd they didn't acquire voltswagen.de and voltswagen.com though a subsidiary company.

This reminds me of Sol LeWitt. Some of his art is just a simple set of instructions that can be followed by other people to "install" by strictly following them and drawing on walls [1].

There are a lot more examples in art that many people could replicate easily, but only the artist came up with the idea.

I'd love to see the typical breakdown of where those 5% go in a hot market like San Francisco. At a median price of $1.5mil, that's $75k in commission. I never bought a home, but that seems like it should buy a lot of services.

Even with free speech as a right, there’s still the conflict with other rights.

E.g in the USA, slander or sexual content is limiting what you can express.

In Germany, Holocaust denial and nazi symbols are illegal.

The vast majority of people in these countries seem to agree with these limitations. (I don’t know about the Turkish situation)

The ranking of rights when they’re in conflict with each other is fascinating to me as it can be pretty different by country.

I’d say change. More money in the podcast industry should also result in higher production value. More money will also push some of the independent content a bit to the sidelines.

If he thinks he'd have enough money by selling for $x, he should probably take $x + $y and donate $y to some cause.

I don't think it does, from the slides: https://s21.q4cdn.com/399680738/files/doc_financials/2020/q3...

We define a monthly active person (MAP) as a registered and logged-in user of Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and/or WhatsApp (collectively, our "Family" of products) who visited at least one of these Family products through a mobile device application or using a web or mobile browser in the last 30 days as of the date of measurement.

Yet many drivers do this full time. Why should ride share companies be excluded from worker protections that apply to other companies? Could Amazon convert to a gig-economy for warehouse workers where you sign up via an app?

There are certainly some folks who drive just a few hours a week and the companies like to highlight that by releasing stats like “% of drivers drive less then 5 hours”. I think “% of driver time by drivers over 35h/week” would paint a different picture and show just how much they rely on full time drivers.

It might still be processed in aggregate, but they stop associating years of precise locations to your account.

I’d be surprised if they don’t follow that wish just for PR and legal reasons alone. The fewest people will actually opt out or if they do accidentally opt back in since the “enable web and location data” action appears anywhere from Maps to Google Home setup.

Without any deeper knowledge, there might also be a good amount of business travel between Australia/East Asia and the US West coast?

Just looking around Tokio on satellite view: there are a few highways, but nothing compared to the many-layered intersections you see in US cities like Los Angeles or San Diego.

You could probably use GitHub actions to push any commits and branches to GitLab or anywhere else.

That's the small scale developer edition.

I don't know anything about home robots, but to me this seems to be the first design that is practical to bring to consumers. Not 2 human arms (or even legs) and some expensive face, but instead just a Roomba-ish base, telescope arm with grabber that moves up and down, camera on top.

A different source [1] describes certain product categories. Initially products like swabs, forks, plates, cups, stick for balloons that have non-plastic alternatives.

I see this as primarily avoiding garbage in the environment.

A paper bag or cotton swab with wooden stick just dissolves if it ends up in nature. Plastic versions are around for a long time.

If India (or any other country for that matter) would be in an armed conflict with the US, they would probably also consider banning various US controlled services.

It's different quality of service.

I think that’s only true until it arrives in the US though and USPS delivers the package to your door. Sure, total time is long, but the cost to USPS seems similar?

They seem to fall under the “reader app” exception that I understand as basically consumption of licensed works such as movies, songs, books.

My guess is that those categories just don’t have the margins to support a 30% cut without charging more then other platforms. An email service, dating all or games are basically arbitrary prices where every sale is making some money for the company. The store cut is annoying, but basically it’s still revenue.

Unclear to me, but this might disallow a higher price for Apple in-app purchases:

3.1.3(b) [...] You must not directly or indirectly target iOS users to use a purchasing method other than in-app purchase, and your general communications about other purchasing methods must not discourage use of in-app purchase.

from https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#mul...

- Sales staff to get event organizers to use their platform and help with setup. - Customer support to deal with issues. - Maybe loss and employees to deal with fraud of some kind (since payments are involved).

I can understand that for a crooked carrot, but for example a tomato with broken skin actually gets bad pretty quickly.
