Hope this doesn't get flagged, hn weirdly hides posts that mention-

Apple marketing.

They likely bought themselves into the top spot. Now that you are in the Apple ecosystem, you will be buying Apple stuff.

Since we are comparing in this thread, why are computer science grads often afraid of math based solutions?

For example, I had a physics problem and a computer science buddy was opposed to solving it ourselves. He insisted we needed an expert. When at worst it needed differential equations that ended up cancelling out. It wasn't a hard problem, it just took some effort.

Is this a rare experience? Or have other people found a reluctance of math in comp sci?

Google is getting bad, but I want a decent competitor to Windows/Android.

Apple is not competition. They serve a lax customer base.

The search results have gotten noticably worse in the last year.

When a Wikipedia/encyclopedia article is what I'm looking for, why is Google showing articles?

Wikipedia used to be the top result.

Many believe those protections you describe is the cause of inequality.

For example,when only 300k/yr physicians can give you access to medicine, it's not capitalism.

The literal definition of socialism is an impossibility, power always gets concentrated among the few.

"This time will be different" crowd hadn't been compelling. Human nature hadn't changed.

Functionally I see many non math people struggle to understand rate of change.

I find integrals useful.

Also I see my computer science pals have a lack of faith in math. I don't understand why.

Maybe in a few years it will be easier. After 2 years she's only made 6k profit.
