Developers have no leverage because there are no alternatives. What can they do, take their apps and leave the store?

Is someone taking the App Store from you? Does adding alternative options somehow corrupt the original App Store?

They curate their stores to draw in customers, placing popular items up front and usually having SALE signs up. Why? because it is an extremely competitive environment. The store owners pay rent, they are not obliged to give a 30% commissio

If they could undoubtedly make a profit, why haven't they done so. What investment firm would miss making a profit on a sure thing?

Those statistics are over a decade old, they also clearly summarise the danger of 20mm sized batteries. 'RESULTS: All 3 data sets signal worsening outcomes, with a 6.7-fold increase in the percentage of button battery ingestions with m

Just to be clear, this is your idea of ‘using your brain’. Instead of creating rules for companies to make household products safe for kids, we should allow them to continue as is. Instead kids should be confined in playpens to keep them s

by calsy 5y ago
No ones ever thought of using a playpen before have they. It's obviously been used until the child grew well out of it when they are running and talking. You're using your brain to show everyone how little you know, well done.

Playpens aren’t designed for 3 year olds. Now because you didn’t use your brain in this instance, it’s your fault the child dies because your a bad parent. You should have known that 3 years old are too old for playpens. This is your logic.

‘Bad parent’ theory. Please, tell a mum who’s child died after being burnt through the inside because they left a remote on a table that she is a bad parent. They don’t realise the danger because there are no warnings, they assume a device

You clearly don't have children, so stop pretending that being a parent is as easy as writing some sentences describing what needs to be done. It's like someone pretending to be a doctor explaining how easy it is to work in medic

People might not even realise a toy or electronic device has a button battery in them. There are no warnings on packaging. Kids can swallow them without an immediate reaction like choking. An hour or 2 later the child becomes sick and the

Parent of 2 young girls myself and I happened to find this information out by chance when shopping online for batteries. The stories from these parents shocked me. I'm really glad this info helped you, hopefully more and more parents
253.
by calsy 5y ago
Number of deaths is not the only metric of concern. The batteries can cause life changing injuries within hours. The immediate symptoms can be easily mistaken for a flu. Doctors do not require an X-ray for the flu. Without an X-ray the but

It isn't a moral issue so the joke isn't relevant. The article I linked mentions that parents hid the real truth of their child's death for fear of judgement. Neither the parents nor the medical professionals were aware of

Yes and items that are choking hazards for children are taken off the shelves. Poisonous chemicals must by law be clearly labeled and have child safety caps on them. Button batteries are not regulated, are found in more and more toys and d

And kids will continue to die from them, if you want to be that absolute about the topic.

Yes there is, that ABC article is especially painful to read. The number of parents holding pictures of these kids most no older than 4 who have died from these batteries. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-02-15/bu

In Australia roughly 20 kids per week present to emergency having swallowed or inserted a button battery and in several cases many have tragically died. It is an agonising death over a period of days/weeks for the child and horrible fo

There is a difference between advertisement and mandated government legislation that forces businesses to pay for links. Google still uses organic search, it simply places clearly marked ads in obvious places. If they embedded search resu

Links are what make the web! When you're talking paid links, you're talking about breaking the foundations of the net and limiting the free flow of information. It's that simple. Content you see will be limited to whatever c

Charging for links had to be the single most destructive piece of tech legislation ever conceived in a 'free' democratic country. Links that connect the web as we know it would be monetised, destroying the free flow of information

What service in their right mind would link to any content that requires payment? Do media organisation think their content is so great that people will pay just to link to it? Links drive SEO, charging for them is the equivalent of shootin

This place is as flat as a sheet of paper, seismic activity is minor to non existent. It's just flat horizons and searing heat, a single road that never ends. Second only to the Antarctic as the driest place on Earth.

There is plenty of land that is not desert, but the majority is desert. Any stat comparing population size with land mass is misleading. Australia is hot, 300km off the coast and you’re in drought territory. Go in further and you won’t las

You were born and bred in Perth, but never truly lived in Australia, that makes no sense.

No need to ponder, its very simple, people would rather not live in the desert.

Most in the tech professions are progressive and liberal, is that so... Just because people might work in Silicon Valley doesn't mean they automatically align with that "way of thinking".

The idea is not to go into full sleep mode. Put your phone away, lie down, relax your body and close your eyes. The act of resting for say 20 minutes is enough to put a spring in your step for the rest of the day.
