He totally would have. In the early days of iPhone, he had a strong contempt for the idea of an app store since it would allow anyone to publish any app and he didn't want anyone other than Apple doing that. Making it a walled garden w

Neither is the taxi lobby out there for the social change. It's better to have two parties competing for user's money than just one party fixing the price and service quality.

Combining the timing info of this with the "Night Sky" AR app to actually pinpoint the satellite made it really easy!

Yeah, it's the same reason tipping exists, and resort fees exist. They do it because it helps them make more money by tricking people into thinking it's cheaper than what it actually is. Pretty sure Airbnb has A/B test result

There's a video series of a guy who tried to do this in California in the middle of a desert and his cost went north of $100k. (Paperwork alone was $25k IIRC). Watching that series reminds you of what a huge bureaucratic nightmare look

Hmm I don't know. It's been 10 years since I've been hearing that self driving cars are right around the horizon. And we now know we're nowhere close to it. If this recaptcha helps google, or for that matter, any company

To the naysayers, I only have one thing to say. If in future (say 20 years down the line), a research agency needs to send their rover to the moon and they have two options: Pay $1bn to NASA, or $200mn to ISRO, who would you think they&#x27

>> The important part here is that you have to offer the same subscriptions at the same price between your web version and your in-app version. I don't think that's true. Youtube premium costs $16/mo when you subscribe
