   I'm sorry, but this strikes me as ridiculously ironic. A Chinese company complaining that they're having a hard time reaching consumers in the US market? Is that not EXACTLY the same situation that countless American companies (es

   Here is a study[0] which directly contradicts that claim: "Thus, the higher dose of ibuprofen (2400 mg per day) was not superior to either the dose of acetaminophen (4000 mg per day) or the lower dose of ibuprofen (1200 mg per day) for

   As someone who knows react very well, is there still a reason to learn Vue? Or is the primary benefit that it's easier to learn?

   I can't believe nobody's mentioned that apparently yarn is more popular than npm? Surely that can't be — see the "Other tools" page.

   I don't think that document is entirely accurate. The apps "re-download" immediately, suggesting (to me at least) that they are still on-disk, somewhere. I believe that they delete associated user-data, though. EDIT: Apparent

    You can "delete" many default apps on recent versions of iOS. (It doesn't actually delete them, it just hides them — the same as disabling an app on Android).

    Not sure why people were downvoting you. It's literally the only app on my machine that doesn't do this, and it is probably the #1 reason I don't want to switch to it. It's a major usability penalty for some macOS users.

    I agree with you, but features like this are often the difference have some (decent) security and none at all. Consider the iPhone prior to TouchID. A lot of people used trivial passcodes, or no passcodes at all.

    Brand. Unlike the examples you mentioned, Soylent is not a "lose weight" brand. As an undergrad in college, Soylent is everywhere. Can't remember the last time I saw any of those other meal replacements.
