I don't know anything about home robots, but to me this seems to be the first design that is practical to bring to consumers. Not 2 human arms (or even legs) and some expensive face, but instead just a Roomba-ish base, telescope arm with grabber that moves up and down, camera on top.
A different source [1] describes certain product categories. Initially products like swabs, forks, plates, cups, stick for balloons that have non-plastic alternatives.
If India (or any other country for that matter) would be in an armed conflict with the US, they would probably also consider banning various US controlled services.
I'd guess that double-standards are inevitable and desired when there is an armed conflict between nations.
If Indian government sees no harm in US apps whilst banning Chinese apps, this is the definition of diplomatic pressure. Asymmetry is the tool used to apply this pressure.
Your point is valid - we have no way to know Facebook algorithms and it is a blackbox, but this isn't supposed to be a symmetric comparison for aforementioned reasons.
I think that’s only true until it arrives in the US though and USPS delivers the package to your door. Sure, total time is long, but the cost to USPS seems similar?
I'd bet this has to do with capacity, similar with network equipment. If you operate below capacity, it's hard to tell apart a high priority packet from a low priority one. You will start noticing delays in low priority packets only when you start saturating your network capacity.
They seem to fall under the “reader app” exception that I understand as basically consumption of licensed works such as movies, songs, books.
My guess is that those categories just don’t have the margins to support a 30% cut without charging more then other platforms.
An email service, dating all or games are basically arbitrary prices where every sale is making some money for the company. The store cut is annoying, but basically it’s still revenue.
Unclear to me, but this might disallow a higher price for Apple in-app purchases:
> 3.1.3(b) [...] You must not directly or indirectly target iOS users to use a purchasing method other than in-app purchase, and your general communications about other purchasing methods must not discourage use of in-app purchase.
- Sales staff to get event organizers to use their platform and help with setup.
- Customer support to deal with issues.
- Maybe loss and employees to deal with fraud of some kind (since payments are involved).
Yes - sorry, this is the comment I was referring to. I'm not aware of _bugs_ in `std::sync::mpsc`, more concerns around things which could have been done better which are now not possible to retrofit because of the guarantees of the standard library with respect to backwards compatibility.
