Because the other guy didn't do that. Capitalism

A coloring book teaches a billion times what a coloring app can teach. How materials feel, how to use haptic feedback to not break a crayon, how objects create sound as they touch, how different materials interact (eg pencil vs crayon), how friction changes based on force normal to the surface, how materials hardness affects abrasion and changes the shape of the crayon, how different items have different colors and how these can transfer between materials, etc...

Kids 2 to 4 should not be using screens. They have too much to learn.

That’s a perk for the teachers who can relax or get the next activity ready while the kids zone out, not done in the direct interests of the children.

Bike-shedding is effort wasted on things that are irrelevant, like if an electronics startup paid this much attention to color. In Apple’s position as a fashion company as much as a tech company, and at Apple’s scale, they can and do invest hundreds of people’s time in making sure that the paint jobs are as good as they can get them.

No, they charge the same price for all colors. Frankly the only products I’ve seen with different prices for different colors is autos.

Sometimes it baffles me, the amount of sound and fury regarding the rose gold iPhone etc. For me it’s a utilitarian device but I know it’s not that for everyone.

Coming from a different country it is really difficult to understand why someone would keep their money for themselves instead of helping their families. Over here families thrive and fail together.

Kids of 2 to 4 shouldn’t be using screens.

I will fly a 737 Max after it’s been on the market three years without incident.

I tried it and got an “Undo Typing” confirmation. Did you?

Did you google on a separate device or was it able to preserve the undo stack even through app switching etc?

Europe? Where is corporate crime punished effectively? With decades long prison sentences for the responsible executives?

But SICP and Feynman are highly nonstandard ways to be introduced to the topics. That’s why they’re unusual.

I set each of my machines and VMs to a different (dark) background color so I know what machine I’m in.
