Could you explain your comment to me, a northern European, because I don’t really understand what you mean. How does the GP reflect a typical american mentality? How does that differ from a typical European mentality? How is he wrong?

This really seems like the kind of a subject that would benefit hugely from good quality opinion polling. We all live in bubbles, there are always things that seem huge on social media that nobody walking down the street cares about.

How is Bezos destroying the local economy in the Netherlands by ordering a $500M yacht?

Yep, it’s an inherent feature of the design. You can just pick up the middle part with a crane, safe and easy.

When was Bezos charged with tax evasion? Do you think that because he is a billionaire he must be guilty of tax fraud? Or do you have some actual evidence?

Do you think the average Rotterdam resident cares nearly as much as the press and online forums would like you to think? Also, I find it rather suspicious that none of these articles are actually discussing the technical implementation and

That commenter seems a bit confused, yeah. But what is it shilling Don? Cryptocurrencies in general? I doubt they’re shilling the failed ConstitutionDAO? “shills” to me are more like commenters such as rasengan, who is actively advertising

It is rather impractical to travel extended distances without access to airplanes, seems like an unreasonable burden.

So we get back to the original point, how do these people ruin flights ?

As a consumer, what I want is for Apple to have the right to curate their platform so it doesn’t become a huge mess like desktops have.

That’s not true though, if the Apple tax disappeared app prices wouldn’t suddenly (or gradually) drop by anything near 27%.

Apple can charge 99% if they’d like, but that’ll probably cost them developers and make me an unhappy customer. So as far as I’m concerned it probably should be left up to Apple to decide how much they charge, if they screw that up I can al

“Monopoly” is a word with a specific meaning, lets try to not use it as a catch-all for any trade practices you’re unhappy with.

The middle part was designed to come off cleanly, although that is pretty much an inherent feature of these designs and not necessarily a deliberate choice.

I’m arguing for the tax because it provides a strong incentive for app developers to stick to Apples payment systems, that’s good for me as an end user. I’m also arguing for the tax because I believe that Apple has the absolute right to col

This isn’t a faux pas , this is a hit piece. Any halfway intelligent person would be able to tell the difference between the two. The bridge was designed to do this, this is something that the builders intended. The previous bridge on this

Why should there be an investigation? Allowing this is an perfectly normal thing, shipbuilding is a crucial part of the local economy and the bridge was literally designed to do this.

Haha. It’s regular government employees who get access to Pegasus. I’d be shocked if it had never been used in an unauthorized manner for straight up financial crimes.
