Thanks. It’s macOS' own cookie banner and dick bar.

It’s weird they haven’t just made this a menu flag…

I’ve literally never ordered from any of these 3 companies.

I do wonder what percentage of their orders are McDonalds. I lived near one and the car traffic of vehicles with delivery placards was significant.

Which makes me wonder about pricing pressure that is often reported re: McDonalds, and yet people end up paying $30-40 for a $15 McDonalds order.

Don’t get it.

Do you ever talk to non-technical people about the computers they use?

You may hate this advice but it worked for me: have Gemini walk you through all the requirements for your given situation.

It took 6-8 weeks for all my stuff end to end, including whatever agreement I needed for European sales, but Gemini was very helpful and correct on all the stated steps and gotchas.

Yes, I’m American but I had a slightly convoluted situation with addresses and bank accounts, and going at the process blind would’ve been much less successful.

Starting a company is riskier than selling to companies who survived the “it’s hard to start a company” gauntlet.

In every billion dollar company I've worked at, the infosec team has numbered less than 10 people.

Deploy gate in the app is surely more sophisticated than needed for a waitlist. And it's probably managed by a separate team and that separation makes sense.
