Epic doesn't build any hardware, and charges Devs 12% to build an add-on for Fortnite. [0] Why 12% ? That's not cheap for what is essentially basic ACH billing service. If I go to get a service like that, I have several vendors

I am so tired of this guy. He's a Class-A a*hole. He is fighting everyone's 30% fees. Perhaps, just perhaps, they are worth it because if they weren't the it would be easy to create a platform. Proof of his absolute stupidit

The same is true for the US Dollar (the Russians certainly don’t want it). Further, the same has been true for the Argentinian Dollar for decades. Many other currencies that I could name as well.

That it's built on FoundationDB is a good sign I think. Even though the article says it may be replaced at a later date, it's reasonable to expect that it's featureset/performance won't be reduced if they do make th

Understood. However, that issue appears to be a process/maintenance issue as opposed to flight certification situation like the 10 has. Finally, killing off the 10 will likely force Boeing to actually build a new plane instead of iter

They’re already leaving China, albeit slowly. Leaving both seems like a lot to swallow.

This is good. Boeings problems can be slowed down if they stop producing that airplane. They need to simplify and regroup. United just gave them another reason to do so. Let’s hope other airlines follow.

I'm going to jump in here and offer up an Ayn Rand because you brought her name up. Ask anyone who has a dog, preferably a big dog, what it costs for a vet visit. Better yet, talk to someone who has had a sick dog. Something terminal,

It allows the NTSB to know who to interview. That gives them a much better picture and helps validate if what Boeing says is actually true.

I think they still could. . . And still might. I have to think that somewhere in a lab they have an android device with all the Google bits removed. I truly believe that Edge is a test run for this, and given how successful it has become, t

No. A phone. EDITED to add for context: Here's my deal - we're locked into 2 basic choices. The choices are fine, but it's like a Ford vs Chevy thing - boring. I really want someone else to com into the market and make a ph

Maybe Epic should just come out with their own Android-based phone and ignore Apple. EDIT - I don’t mean this flippantly. I really think a gaming phone made by Epic would be fantastic. They have some great games that I enjoy, including Ro

A few corrections: 1 - Congress makes laws, not the President (although he signs them). 2 - Congressional members are elected directly, not by the electoral college. 3 - The electoral college is not impacted by whether people are rural or u

Refueling is very wasteful - that's why so many flights are direct today - because it's much cheaper.

But Microsoft even messed that up. The original start button was not in the corner - it was near the corner. Literally just a few pixels removed. That tiny mistake made it much harder and you couldn’t “slam and click” the start button (w

Technically it’s always true. On a Mac the menu bar is always at the top. Because of that, the menu bar is at the logical end of mouse movement (it’s like a virtual wall, which the mouse can’t go beyond). Because of this design, you can “sl

Side effect of this in the long term if it is successful is that there should be fewer hurricanes on the Atlantic. (Hurricanes are believed to caused by dust blowing off the west coast of the Sahara)
