Sure, Fortnite is a great example. If it can well run via web (which is a current workaround via Xbox Cloud Gaming), Apple can’t take their 30% cut. Same with Roblox and other games. Top paid apps like Procreate could do the same. Apple and

Fusion360's parametric modelling approach was a breeze to pick up after struggling with SketchUp for a while. Being a software developer probably helped as I was immediately comfortable with the formulas, variables, and constraints.

Why would China be a weaker strategic threat than Russia? They have 10 times the population and a massive industrial and technological base. Fewer nuclear weapons but more than enough to trigger the apocalypse. Much stronger trade relations

We have no defense pact with Taiwan, and are not obligated to engage. Our official stance is strategic ambiguity, but Ukraine has showed how unlikely we are to join the fight. We will try to follow much of the same sanctioning, intelligence

Twitter definitely isn’t Netflix. It’s been a dog since IPO, languished under a part time disinterested CEO, and only peaked because of the pandemic meme stock era. As an individual and index shareholder I’d love for Musk to take it away at

It’s exactly like that, but that was always the most likely result and hardly a surprise. The sanctions are meant to drive a wedge between the regime and the people.

I’ll rephrase. While the intent is to topple or pacify the government by starving the regime, this strategy essentially requires the suffering of the people. Happy and content people don’t revolt or push for political change. We are openl
