On top of how silly your statement is, if they were to do something like that, the car would only turn right, due to fuel concerns and not having to wait for lights. Hell, a lot of fleet management software for companies like UPS already tr

I really do not care about the upgrade costs. However, doing the reduction in assets means that people using their devices in places where speeds are not great also get a benefit.

This is completely missing the point. They're not deleting apps (although all three reserve that ability, it seems Google is the only one that's actually used it), they're deleting the assets from the app. And they're on

Reducing storage requirements means that one can fit more apps on the device, and that apps download and can be used faster.

They absolutely should not be insulted if someone disagrees with them. Presumably the people involved are adults, and should be able to disagree in a civil manner.

How? Keep in mind that most jurisdictions take a VERY dim view of a company trying to prevent someone from working.

There definitely was austerity from the federal government. There was an across the board 10% cut to all spending. And even if you don't consider that austerity, several states severely trimmed their budgets for public assistance, desp

Probably when people stop talking about a "supposed" power-differential, realize it exists, and do something about it. And while you're not wrong that a lot of that safety net stuff is the point of government, you'd have

I don't. I don't care about private contracts. This behavior is wrong and should be stopped.

The pie gets bigger, but most people's concrete amount of pie they get generally does not change, while a tiny amount of people end up with the benefits of the expanding pie.

Your statement only makes sense in a context where both the buyer and seller have roughly equal power. As it is, that has almost never been true when talking about labor. An employer who doesn't have enough employees is still going to

Do they work? How many last in these jobs for a year? Two years? What's the quality of the work that comes out? How much of it has to be redone?

But how do developers being successful on Twitter's platform translate to Twitter making money? Developers aren't really willing to pay for access to Twitter, and I don't think many of them want to show Twitter's ads, as
