There is, but remote-first companies have learnt the skills to communicate this effectively without requiring members to be face-to-face or require hours of meetings. That's what I see causes the biggest push-back against WFH: upper ma

It's worth mentioning none of these concerns affected Android / Google Play, even though it's fairly easy to sideload and even install custom app stores there. The only phones that come with alternative stores are from Chines

Maybe not patented, but most commercially grown crops come from proprietary seeds. Hybrids are made from two plants, and the offspring is not the same. So you need to keep buying new seeds each season. Those two plants that are selected are

If it takes 3 days to fold a load of washing, it's still quicker than it takes me now. For commercial use it wouldn't work, but for consumers speed is not an issue.

LinkedIn also have tools for recruiters and sales folks to find people. I believe this is where a big part of their revenues come from (they are paid tools). Although, again I cannot imagine it being that complicated.

Does anyone know how these eSIM travel apps work behind the scenes? There seem to be a ton of them popping up, so I'm guessing there are a bunch of services that let you white-label their offering.

Back in the day ~2010, Facebook was the app store. Farmville et al were more popular than the top games on mobile at the time. They really should have pushed for a mobile version of it, as the lack of that is what killed it.
