Since there is already an incentive for apps to grow as big as possible to show ads to earn more money, I wonder if there is a legitimate way to slow-pivot all the app stores to an automatic developer payout; no IAP or monthly subscription

Of course it's risky. I haven't heard people say it isn't risky. Even me, an avid Mars settlement enthusiast. Since the article touches on BO at the end, it's worth mentioning that Bezos' changing messaging about BO

Your link doesn't support your claim. The article indicates a crime syndicate was responsible, a group who had already stolen lots of money. The weakness here is not in a UBI-type system at all; money was being stolen regardless of the

The article suggests the likelihood that the writers of the content are lying about who they are and in fact are not in the local environment they are 'reporting on'. Is it really local news if the writers are lying about their id

You call it fake news but offer no substance to your claim, while the article discusses in great detail how they reach their conclusions. They even say, > We suspect many of the local sites are not based in or actually operating within t

The headline and article are misleading in my opinion, by focusing so closely on comparisons with automakers and calling Tesla an automaker. Yes, Tesla makes automobiles, but they dropped 'Motors' from their name a long time ago i

Before I clicked I wondered why you wouldn't be trying it. Understood, I suppose I won't be trying it either. Maybe there's a business idea here though, in pre-made special-case videochat boxes. I bet there are other optimiza

I am not joking, and yes Obama and Biden are very clearly right-wing politicians. I have not seen a single actually left-wing policy out of either of them. Also, please don't assume the people you're talking to online are 'jo

Worth noting that from my perspective , reddit is basically a right-wing propaganda outlet and always has been (at least the last 10+ years). Weird how that goes.

In our society, everyone is a lawbreaker. There are so many laws that surely everyone is guilty of breaking some law. This results in police being able to discriminate by selectively enforcing laws. Since everyone is probably doing someth
