Are you talking about the querty layout?

I love it. Everyone’s claiming a $5 billion fine is insignificant, so there’s no room to argue the tax savings from writing it off is meaningful.

Revenue is up 20% year over year. The growth is real, not just a goal.

>Retail stores buy the products they put on their shelves, at wholesale prices. They then mark up the prices to a retail price charged to the end buyer when they resell the products to the end buyer.

Why is this difference salient? This process of selling, reselling and markup recurs for years. Economically the outcome is the same as the store charging a fee like Amazon, just with the payments split up and time shifted. If you doubt that the same power imbalances exist in brick-and-mortar, read about how Walmart squeezes suppliers.

I guess I’d like the ability to delegate the responsibility of updating the ownership of my phone number to an entity of my choosing. The phone company would only be able to update with this entity’s go-ahead. Services could specialize in this kind of work so identity verification would be a core competency, and I could pay more for better protection.

Does anyone know if there’s a way to prevent your SMS from being rerouted, or get a special protected number?

The ability to do this would not mitigate Microsoft’s responsibilities here, but at least it would allow some people to help themselves.

Heroin dealers are mixing in fentanyl because it’s extremely dense (in terms of doses per mass) and therefore easy to smuggle. People are ODing on fentanyl because those same properties make it hard to dose accurately. None of this would happen if opioids were legal.
