Apple Music was the app that prevented them from changing regions, is there a Google app that would prevent the same?

It is if their goal is to grow profits. The big fish (where the money is) will demand certain features and thus products like this will provide it.

How I Use Notion 5 years ago

Notion used to offer a free premium account if you were a student - not sure if that's still available. The OP seems to be a student.

It's probably a mix of both. Surprisingly (to me), not many were able to break the sub 4min mile immediately after Bannister broke that record - Landy was the second to break the mark a month or so after but he was already working towards it. I read in the 20 year span after the record, only 300 runners were able to match the sub 4 feat.

well, the product being sold is not your typical grind beans and other ingredients made into a patty. This is a genetically modified protein made to feel and taste like meat. The R&D that went into making this happen is incredibly complex. I'm confident the price will go down just as with everything else.

hey, can you provide a source for their decrease in market share? Or are you assuming based on AWS growth? I tried looking up the Gartner starts but couldn't get past a login.

My last Feria del Libro was over 12 years ago and it was great! I got American Psycho, a Nightcrawler comic book, and thriller novel (now or never by elizabeth adler). Perhaps this was due to my ignorance as a young Cuban and not being able to learn about what was going on in the literary world outside the country. The Cuban Government censors many things, in my opinion, I wanted to know what specific works the author thinks should be available.

i contacted spotify and they were able to migrate my account - playlists, favs, etc - from facebook to my email (i was using the same email for fb). they provided me with a "free month" of premium since i had already paid for that month through the fb account. other than having to contact the COs for a couple of accounts my FB-free life couldn't be better.

The Castro family can travel the world and enjoy a lavish lifestyle while most of the population lives in poverty and are not allowed to leave the country. Your naivete is cute.

nothing is a big word, of course it had an impact. but totalitarianism, oppression, indoctrination, etc. were not caused by outside factors, they are direct actions by the dictatorship.

Don't let Communist propaganda blind you. The blockade did not stop Spanish hotels from settling on the island (taxed at 50% by the state), or dealings with Russia or the Chinese, or gas trades with Venezuela. Do you know where all the wealth from those dealings ended up? The top ranking officials and their families.

Many highly educated professionals in Cuba live in poverty while the top ranking officials live lavishly. The Castro family takes vacations abroad, aboard fancy yachts in fancy hotels while regular citizens are not allowed to leave the island and until recently not even allowed to stay in Cuban hotels (i say recently because that was the case when i lived there and i'm not 100% sure that's changed). There's no good he did that equates or overcompensates the harm to the general population.

Most Cubans live in very poor conditions with no means to improve their lives because of low wages and high cost of living (by Cuban standards, tourists will find it cheap so that should show you how little money they make). Also, government oppression against those who speak up is a great deterrent to changing the current socio/economic situation. You talk about levels of education like a grandiose achievement, it is, but to what end? there are many Cuban doctors that cannot feed their families with their state provided salaries and have to resort to illegal means. or defect to other countries where their education is not valued and have to start from near zero. homelessness in Cuba is not reported because it goes against the image the government wants to portray. so the statement "Millions of children will sleep on the streets tonight. None of them is Cuban." is only supported by the state-ran media and it's very inaccurate.

really nice app! the name tho, makes me think of party planning not so much bucket list. Let me know next time there are more invites.
