The primary function of the app is to record a GPS activity with your phone. If you already have a GPS watch and like using it, I don’t see the point in using both. And I’m not sure about Coros, but Garmin at least give you the option to manually download your GPS traces directly from the watch without using their web services if you’re concerned about privacy.
On a technical level, federation is arguably just as compatible with libertarianism. Each instance is its own island nation, free to set its own rules while members vote with their feet in free association. That it hasn’t gone that route is more to do with the founding population than the technology.
It’s what happens when people treat money as an investment and don’t spend it. Money that’s useful as money would be a bad investment.
If they’re invested in businesses, the capital gets recirculated in the economy and becomes someone else’s income.
What you describe would be worse without inflation. The rich would still have most of the capital, but they also wouldn’t bother investing it either, which at least recirculates the money and becomes income for others.
Better yet, look at crypto, where people believe inflation is all about monetary supply and restrict it on purpose. The result? Wild volitity, huge crashes, and low velocity of money because everyone hoards it instead of spending.
Income-generating assets are doing something to generate that income, which is presumed to have some beneficial effect on the economy more than cash sitting under your mattress does.
Increase in the money supply does not in itself cause prices to go up. There’s an indirect mechanicism but it’s not automatic.
In N Out even has their own warehouses to supply their restaurants. I see meat packing positions listed on their website which I would highly suspect require masks.
*Product Manager. They meet with customers, analyze the competitive landscape, set the feature development roadmap, and define requirements for engineering teams. The “I’m a people person!” guy in Office Space.
I mean the similarity is not a coincidence. Gaming chairs are modeled after racing seats which are five point harnesses designed to keep the occupant safe in a car crash… exactly like toddler car seats.
I can see a use for actual racing seats in racing games to enhance the immersion. The faux racing gaming chairs took off because some chair company sponsored streamers. Streamers like them because they’re something to look at on stream rather than a bland office chair. For everyone else a bland office chair is way better.
One of the sanctions the SEC seeks for repeat offenders is a ban on serving as an officer of any public company.
Look at animated movies. They’re giant collaborations of hundreds of mostly anonymous people, basically large software development projects. They hire stars to do the voices, not because they’re all that great as voice actors (trained voice actors can often be had cheaper), but to be the face of the film in public and promote it.
That is, the skill of a Hollywood star is not really anything to do with the product, but simply being famous, recognizable, and likeable. They are a brand, like Mickey Mouse or Colonel Sanders (once an actual person!).
I’m sure they don’t want to pay anybody, but I don’t think they need to worry about precedent. They can easily say some subs are strategicly important to the business and get support while others aren’t. Like other platforms have “partner” status that they only offer to some users not all.
Dyson fans too. Cheap fans are quieter and produce more airflow.
I think it makes a lot of sense as a series of emotional reactions, mostly from spez. He won’t back down and no one can make him.
They don’t want to serve ads through the API because ad buyers care about exactly how the ads will be presented. The apps would have to work very closely with Reddit to ensure consistent ad presentation, which is more work for them so they don’t want to do it.
The API price was plucked out of thin air, presumably based on what they believed OpenAI/Microsoft/Google would be willing to pay. Third party apps were acceptable collateral damage.
They’re not trying to fast. Sugary drinks (juice, non caffeinated soda, Gatorade, Pedialyte) are probably a good idea, plus calorie dense foods like energy bars.
TBH, it’s crazy that they would engage in a public forum about such a public, contentious subject without preparing everything in advance. You’d normally want to vet your answers and make sure you don’t make things worse… Which they did.
Then they claim it’s about commercial use but won’t give open source apps a pass.
Nit pick, this is a 256TB SSD, so you’d need four to make a PB of raw space, and probably more than that to allow for RAID and effective space. PBSSD is their name for tech to enable PB scale arrays of such SSDs.
