In some places, I see people do that. It’s not stupidity. I learned the logical reason after observations. During busy hours in some busy buildings, there isn’t enough elevator capacity. Therefore, if you want to go down to the ground floor

Previously working command needs to continue behave the same way. Your original proposal was intended to provide backward compatibility (your third point in original comment), and that’s an important part of why it could work.

In metropolitan areas, people want to be close but not too close to train/metro stations or railroad/tunnels. 5-10 minute walk is ideal. Anything closer, people have vibration/noise and crowd/security concerns. In US sub

If you need access to both apps from China and websites/apps from outside China, non-Apple devices have been difficult before this, primarily due to push notification infrastructure. This makes it more difficult. But I don’t think it m

Based on my reading, Apple’s cut of non-IAP purchase only applies if you sign up for the new StoreKit External Purchase Link Entitlement, and the cut only applies for purchases through the Entitlement link.

1 and 2 can be addressed though. It’s easy to ban right-turn-on-red on a specific intersection. People sometimes do not see the sign, but new-style electronic no-right-turn signs addresses this. https://www.orangetraffic.com&#x2F

Someone has to go and add the filtering. Nowadays (or maybe since ten years ago) most ISPs have the filter, but not the last 1% (or maybe 0.01%).

A dental hygienist (those people who do maintenance cleaning at dentist’s offices) told me that saliva quality is key to cavity and periodontal health. The ability of keep all teeth moist prevents plaque/tartar build up. I don’t know h

I thought the root causes of 737 Max failure is (1) marketing’s choice to make a new plane that pilots with existing 737 certificate can fly with little or no training (2) the lack of a third sensor. Why is this the software engineers’ faul

I’m not familiar with the details. But I assume there exist a way for creditors (incl the government) to seize it somehow, and then sell it to eligible buyers to recover what they’re owed. Does your Stanford home has a mortgage on it? If so
