Looks very nice! I'll give it a spin for prototypes.

Would love to check out /docs but it's currently a 404.

Burying the lede here, the real story is that he was already 60 Cent by the time his first album dropped.

I think it was just an outage that unfortunately returned 429 errors instead of something else.

They don’t always grant refunds for App Store purchases, I’ve heard from many customers whose refund requests were denied after we referred them to Apple. As a developer I would love to be able to refund them myself, but we can’t refund IAPs at all, it’s entirely up to Apple.

If the customer requests too many refunds (say 3-4 within a few months) their Apple ID is likely to be banned from making further purchases.

The DoJ is forcing Google to sell Chrome, so that won’t necessarily use Google search either.

Again, they don’t drive or steer remotely. What sometimes happens is a multiple choice question is presented to the operator in an ambiguous situation:

<photo of construction zone> Can I drive through here? [Yes] [No]

When this is happening, the car is stopped and lets the passenger know that it’s reaching out for remote help to figure out what to do. For me this has happened two times across my 125 Waymo rides (571 miles) so far, and was resolved in under 20 seconds. Though I must say, 20 seconds feels like ages when you’re in the car and blocking traffic!

It’s pretty surprising that they believed this. The heart is very obviously thumping in your chest, and it’s very easy to notice that the (visible) veins in your wrists, neck and thighs are pulsing at the same rate.

It just seems like a more obvious “center” for an ancient person; the mechanics are so easily detectable from the outside, while the liver sits silently.

Ah, I clearly didn’t read it closely enough. Thank you!

> Today, iOS users already have the ability to set a third-party web browser — other than Safari — as their default. Reflecting the DMA’s requirements, Apple is also introducing a new choice screen that will surface when users first open Safari in iOS 17.4 or later. That screen will prompt EU users to choose a default browser from a list of options.

Any idea if this means you can actually choose a different browser, or are you choosing a different WebKit wrapper (e.g. the current version of Chrome on iOS)?

Ah, you beat me to it. Yeah, not only do the link sources not support the claim, they actively debunk it.

No idea where they got that stat from because it's not supported by anything they've linked to.

The article attributes the stat to "a study by Business Insider" but the reference links to an article in The Atlantic which: A) doesn't support the claim and B) is mostly dedicated to debunking it.
