To be fair not really… other states have been involved in bigger and overall more terrible wars since then. Not USSR/Russia Chechnya was much shorter and on a smaller scale. Russia has already lost several times more several times more

One could. There are ups and downs but the overall trend continues to be up. All of those things you’ve mentioned have not gotten worse and generally keep improving (except income inequality and climate change of course..)

For iCloud I don’t see how that makes sense. Everything is stored on the user’s account which they pay for. They can use similar a similar pricing for push notifications which is offered by other providers. Would be perfectly fair.

If you have to sign a legal contract entitling Apple to a commission in order to ‘publish’ an app which can be side loaded then yes. If it works the same way as it does on Android then they can’t really demand you to share your revenue .

Spending 10-20% of you monthly income on on a single test does not seem like a good deal at all.

How could Space X even afford fund a mission to Mars? There is no way that can be profitable . What they are doing now is cool but they are still a business which offers a launch services at a competitive price and a satellite internet prov

Only the case in parts of Subsaharan Africa at this point. India for instance is at around 2.0 and many Latin American countries at a similar level as the US.

> Fritzl was arrested and served 12 months of an 18-month prison sentence. A single year for something like this just seems bizarre to me. No wonder the late 60s had so much violent crime..

What do you mean by ‘Global Inequality’? Because income and wealth inequality has been steadily increasing in (almost)all developed countries

Well they need ways to justify their jobs and advance their careers. Which is perfectly understandable, UX is almost always is secondary to that (as it should be from the perspective of individuals).

There is a big difference between what they are talking about (I believe) and asking it factual questions withal straightforward answers. Try discussing something a bit more complex and it’s very easy to get ChatGPT to start contradicting i

You have zero context in ChatGPT though. Like even if you don’t know or have an opinion about a specific website you’ll eventually form one if you keep accessing it. This is a huge downside of GPT. Until it starts citing it’s exact sources

I really doubt they have seriously considered porting macOS to RISC-v though. It shouldn’t take that long to port darwin to a new arch anyway. And when/IF RISC-V actually becomes even close to being competitive to ARM/x86 it will
