One reason could be that T-Mobile limits video streaming resolution based on the subscriber's plan. Only the most expensive plan can stream 4K video, otherwise it will "typically" be limited to 480p. https://www.t-

It would be very difficult to model a financial benefit of offering dedicated support for free products. If you pay for Google One (extra storage), you get access to phone support. I wonder if they would've been able to help in this si

The article has a quote from Nancy's team that says she does not personally own any stocks and that the transactions are made by her husband. Barring congress from owning or trading stock would do nothing in this case. Barring congress

New York is culturally known as a city that never sleeps, an expensive city, a crowded city, a city with muggy summers and bone-chilling winters, etc. There have been countless songs, books, and tweets written about how it takes a certain l

It doesn't make any sense for a company to ship "dog food" publicly to developer partners. In fact, the decision to make an API public is critical to get right and should not be taken lightly. Making a mistake in private APIs

Trust takes years to build and seconds to break. I could be grossly overestimating the impact that this has had to their brand. But in my eyes, I can't see a way that they revert the damage, even if they revert the decision.

Tesla has spent about $8.5B on R&D in the past decade. Of course, not all of that was spent on FSD, but let's assume it was. Let's also assume our hypothetical public transport is built in San Francisco. San Francisco recently
