Considering how fast bamboo grows, this seems excessive. They're not even saving energy in doing this. Mulching those chopsticks would probably be much more energy efficient.

There's quite a lot of networks. It's not a complex business to start, you know.

Capable and able are not the same. You can start collecting that data right now. It's also not a particularly complex task to collect information about people's habits. I'm not capable of running a mile in 4minutes, that&#x27

For an ad network it's a B2B market. You're the person seeing the ad, but you're not party to the transaction. Websites often run an auction at request time. The ad networks are actually competing, even if you get targeted by

Most relevant ads, with least interference. Compare to most small news sites, that have top/bottom banners, inline ads and the curtains.... I hate the curtains!

I mean... They are actively trying to make you follow the common practice of following news sources, favorite teams, groups, etc. I have less than 200 "friends", Reuters, Economist, DeWalt and a few local groups on my profile. And

Right... "Business perspective". Come back when Apple spends marketing resources on literally every single game that is published to App Store. (Also - if you downvote, then don't bother replying)

Game devs are free to use whatever API you wish. You create entertainment, not design buildings that have to last decades or industrial systems. You have the benefit of abandoning your product 3-5 years after it's published, without an

It's in Facebook's interest to increase engagement, even if it destroys people's lives. A morbidly obese depressed kid is much more valuable to Facebook, than an active and mentally stable kid. We should realize that and stop

Facebook doesn't "help people from across the world keep in touch". In it's quest to "be the internet" it has become a stream of trash, that actively hinders keeping in tout with other people. If it focused on

Apple isn't even remotely in the same position as Facebook. Let alone - Apple is private, Facebook is anything but private

If memory serves - they introduced Metal as a high efficiency low level API for games, not a generic rendering API. Deprecating opengl was confusing for me.

> I dont see how that is disingenuous. When Apple has a total 0 input in making and marketing of said game and just charges for services - that's not revenue from games. And if you want to put a bar that low - Google makes billions

And OpenGL changed massively. Going from fixed function to programmable hardware. I understand that a lot of developers want low level access to hardware - that's great for a lot of applications. But that low level access means that so

>You're confusing not caring for the pro market with their approach to vertical integration. Apple knows exactly what they need to do to keep the pro market on MacOSX, they are not interested in doing that at all. And that simple th

I doubt that Apple arcade makes them that much money. Counting the App Store service fee of 30% as "game revenue" is disingenuous, as then we could count every single Windows license sale and every single dollar of revenue from ho

"Apple wants to permanently remove OpenGL from macOS" - that would be a poor decision.... although, they really don't care for the pro market in any case.

You can look at it like that. But you could also realize that landlords in these areas have had government assistance for ages. They got tax abatements, low financing and protections against competition. That's not even close to a free

Except that retail is a service you pay for. Modern landlords are mostly government subsidized (tax abetements, low financing rates for "business", etc). There are definitely landlords that provide a valuable service, but there&#x

Contracts that set out the rules - work best. If you buy a share in a property with the understanding that you have first-come-first-serve booking of timeslots - all other arrangements are based on good will alone. That beats arguing in an

Yes, you should. And preferably, you should advocate on buying out that land and decide what to do with it. Otherwise you're free to sue the chemical plant for any chemical smells and damages. So if I want to sell my house to an LLC -
