The fact this is even a discussion is why I would never use Rails again. I suffered a decade of Ruby and never again. Typescript is my language of choice because of its full stack flexibility and amazing tooling support because of typing. I

Now with this article memorized one could answer this question with rote memorization. However most people are unlikely to have done that. Instead if someone can provide a good answer they are demonstrating a deep understanding.

Imu they are still a nonprofit parent structure over a “capped profit” company. I haven’t been able to find details about their structure, and it’s weird this article doesn’t verify these details.

That’s the most amount of word salad garbage I’ve ever seen on snopes. The government hasn’t determined that soda lime glass is unsafe? Shocking. I wonder why chemists use borosilicate? Hmm.

Yes this. And it is hard for quality to compete with brand equity.

As you would expect. You’re paying to support an entire business including retail space rent and utilities, employees, and owners.

So a high quality brand on sale should be presumed to be low quality?

Also the expensive stuff is often built to last a few years instead of decades.

Pyrex is a great example of the problem here. Original PYREX was borosilicate glass which is extremely resistant to shattering due to temperature differences and therefore excellent for cooking. The brand and reputation of quality was estab

Depending on the capitalization. The good stuff is PYREX.

Pyrex replace borosilicate with cheaper and far less temperature resilient soda lime glass decades ago.

If years of service is the expectation for a refrigerator, then something is wrong. Refrigerator life should be measured in decades.

It's how they make an intimidating threat to push for cooperation and look maximally generous when the sentence is reduced. Makes perfect sense.

I guess who cares? Apple does lots of things that helps them. It's a business. That said, I think it helps both the buyer and seller to have good UX.

There's a reason most retail stores use price points and not random numbers. Pricing like this: $7.23 $5.48 $9.21 is just ugly and feels cheap. It's the same reason they have UX standards generally. Why does anyone care about 1 ce

So much Apple cynicism here. Apple loves design and beauty. Crisp numbers and stability are more user friendly and aesthetic. Also some numbers have implications in certain markets. Seeing numbers like or $69.42 or $444 or $7.23 is just bad
