I am curious how the payment of this service works. Apple doesn't mention any additional payment necessary for this feature. But clearly GlobalStar is being compensated heavily by Apple to allocate 85% of their capacity to them. So my

Actually GlobalStar has some of the weakest satellite coverage in the satellite market. It covers North America and Austrailia very thoroughly. But only covers other continents partially. It covers 3/4 of South America, only western Eu

Correct. This is a bug. In the low-cost airline business, your competitive advantage is being the cheapest. Everyone is racing to the bottom. Stripping out features in order to offer a few dollars more off your tickets than your other low c

I switched from Feedly to FeedBin recently for all the same reasons and noticed all the same things you highlighted here. I don't mind the nominal fee of $5/mo since it is a delightful experience that is powerful, fast, and clean.

Yes, job hopping is incredibly lucrative and beneficial early in your career. You can work at companies for 12-18 months, jump to another company and get a 40-50% increase between your first 1-3 jobs. That is far faster than sticking around

Yes these ideas are all certainly valid concepts about interviewing. But it would be nearly impossible to optimize for all of them. Furthermore, some really are impossible. For example #2 is to schedule interviews in cohorts. I tried to fol

Yes it is really just a free tier expansion. But many sites today would essentially be able to completely live under the free tier for the foreseeable future, who were previously paying for it. Which I guess makes it a price reduction. Even

I agree, but want to add to this by saying there should still be some indicator that a background process is happening. This is effectively done via a "spinner". While a loading bar would be better than a spinner in most cases, th
