> I would drop the App Store in a heartbeat if I could.

You can. Nothing is stoping you. Just do it.

When Nestlé’s involved the answer to that question is always money.

I won’t be surprised if they start convincing some third world counties that meat is bad and to eat their products making bank while causing widespread malnourishment in the process. It would not be the first time.

When the first people where trying to invent the airplane, they where not deterred by pessimists saying “why bother? There ain’t any airports around anyway”

I have never heard anything worth remembering come form trying to argue about government spending or fiscal policy by treating it like household budgeting.

It’s kind of like if people argued that a bridge construction must be unsafe because they tried to make something similar in their kids sandbox and it fell apart when it got wet.

I love the comparison! :D It conjures the image of someone answering concerns about storage with “don’t worry we can just hide it under my bed!”

> If their product (the app store) is genuinely better for users....

Apple doesn’t make and sell App Store. It makes and sells iPhones. And it’s not “genuinely better” and they do not dominate the market however it’s good enough that a lot of people are willing to pay a premium for that product.

It’s a textbook bug, it’s an unhandled edgecase.

The designer didn’t sit down and go “and logically when a circular belt is full, the items should stop moving while the belts keep moving”.

The fact that it was decided to not handle this edgecase does not mean it stops being a bug, no matter how much you love the game or how strongly you want your mantra of “factorial has no bugs” to be true.

Of cause factorial has bugs, lots of them. Just look at the thousands of fixes. This is one of them, and it’s a bug that has been there from the start and will likely never get fixed, but it’s still a bug.

The fact that they chose not to fix it does not mean it’s not a bug. It’s obvious to even a first grader that this is not how items on a circular belt should behave.

I’d be ok with then charging a significantly lower for a “limited bandwidth” connection. But I bought an unlimited, so they have no right to complain.

Imagine if the same principles were used in other areas. You iPhone suddenly locking up after using Facebook to much because Facebook wasn’t paying Apple for access to its users.

Honestly curious, where in the world do you live? Equating sustainable with lower quality is really odd to me and I don’t think anywhere at least in Northern Europe.

If companies are producing just to get the lowest cost, it ends up being trash. Whenever anyone aims for sustainable products it’s obvious it will come at a higher price and quality becomes essential. That’s at least wha we see in all the sustainable products here

This much more clearly displays the problem with all these “this service does not exist” because even though it doesn’t show the source material it’s abundantly clear that these are just simple stitches of the training toons.

Like you get Elsa with different hair or the up grandpa in a suit.

Once you compare them to the closest examples from the training date it becomes a lot less impressive than the implied “this face is completely out of the imagination of a AI model” turns out the model just imagined someone in the training set with the hair of someone else. Quite boring.

Honest question, do people add tips to McD in the US? Because then comparing the price payed by the customer in the transaction becomes closer, even higher if you factor in 20% tip.

Denmark does not have a culture of tipping, it’s rarely done, primarily in very fancy restaurants and no one would ever tip or expect anyone to tip in a McD.

How is it disingenuous? McDonald’s (the corporation) where the ones deciding not to follow union agreements, it wasn’t some individual franchise owner doing it.

> Firing anyone not worth minimum wage makes the true minimum wage $0 = unemployment.

Denmark is not communist. The state doesn’t mandate that you have to work for Mcdonalds and cannot work anywhere else. If a company doesn’t feel you are competent in a position then they can fire you, obviously. The minimum wage doesn’t mean they are obligated to pay anyone who wants to work for them, it simply means that anyone working in the position must have a wage at that point or above.
