I imagine most developers won't want to design a tweaked layout specifically for the iPhone X. As a compromise, developers will probably just avoid putting important UI elements near the horizontal edges, similar to what console develo

I don't see why Google's market share matters. If it was 60% instead of 96%, couldn't you make the same argument that Google Maps was receiving an unfair advantage, just of a somewhat different magnitude? I also don't se

It sounds good in theory, but since Google's ranking algorithm ranks pages, how is Google supposed to apply it to widgets? Most widgets do have associated pages, such as shopping search result pages, but they're not the same. Th

Well you still get exposure to companies in those segments, such as Monsanto and Equity Residential. If you just want "normal" positions in those companies (i.e. weighted by market cap), then Vanguard funds like VTSMX (a component

UPS trucks carry lots of packages so that they don't have to reload at the warehouse mid-day. That's not really a concern for Walmart employees, since they wouldn't be making any special trips to the store to load up on packa

It's crude because it's too general. Making three right turns might be the right choice on a busy street in SF, but on a side street in a quiet suburb, making a single left is normally the better choice.
