You realize that in both of your examples, the companies are losing billions?


I have a portable USB C monitor that gets power and video from one cable. Why is it a mistake?

This is my “universal” cable;

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093YVRHMB

- USB A and USB C on one end.

- USB C, micro USB and lightning on the other end.

- 100 W charging support

- 10Gbps data transfer

- supports video over USB-C


Citizens don’t. Because of two senators per state, people in sparsely populated states have far more power than people living in larger states.

Even within states since people are concentrated in urban areas, it’s easy for the minority to engage in gerrymandering so that the rural population voting power is more than urban voters.

That’s not to mention the fact that even in conservative states, on singular issues like abortion, drug legalization and the right for felons to vote, the population runs to the left of the legislation. When those initiatives are put on the ballot, they win. So the legislators in those states are making it harder for initiatives to get on the ballots.

You can look at states like Texas that are taking more power out of the hands of the city.

How long do you think they can keep losing money especially in this environment?


That was nothing more than a dog and pony show for Trump. They still did all of their real manufacturing overseas.


The cellular Apple Watch.


The Nano doesn't drain its battery every 18 hours.


What good is iOS on commodity hardware? The entire value proposition of any of Apple’s products are the right integration of hardware and software.


How are they “good deals” for Spotify when Spotify is losing money?


For starters, Spotify exists


But yet they do…


They do what? They do not need to. But they ARE, because they want to. You and the other simply misunderstand that Apple rule because it's written strangely. Do YOU have first hand experience with this rule? Go do your research.


Feel free to clarify what the rule means. I publish multiple apps per week and have encountered this rule enough times in exactly the way I mentioned it.


look at Spotify, edtech products etc


You mean you won’t be able to start the subscription from the app by clicking on the “Upgrade to ChatGPT Plus” right on the settings panel in the app?

You realize you can subscribe within the app right?
