I’m curious what’s the eventual revenue balance will look like few years after they get off App Store. It can seem evil and 30% is a steep fee, but it is also a very good distribution channel. Hope they can find alternative ways to market a

I feel sorry that WeWork receives a lot of negativity for “not going to be profitable” and “not being a technology company”. It might be true, but as a potential customer, I am extremely happy with their existence. I live in Warsaw and 3 ye

I was amazed this weekend when Vilnius city center was closed for cars due to the yearly marathon taking place. The 6am-6pm closure felt great: - All streets are free to walk, a sense of freedom - No car noise, you start hearing other peopl

Far from it. However it seems seeing Soyuz is somewhat [1] complicated. One needs to travel to Kazachstan’s remote Baikonur, get a special tour and chances are you will be rejected for no little reason. Apparently there’s not much to do the

I like you ambition. However I seem to become more conservative and nostalgic with age. The thought of going on a one-way trip to Mars when you are 60 is scary. It is probably too cold and monochromatic for my taste. But thank you for the i

In early UI we can see a Wastebasket, which ended up being changed to the Recycle Bin. As a user I would say that Recycle Bin is a misleading name because it has nothing to do with recycling a file / folder. However it has a more posit
