Exactly - nothing is for free. They explicitly state that PCC data gets destroyed after a response is returned. Are the anonymized queries (minus user data context) worth anything? It’s gotta be some kind of subscription/per query cha

> The list of argument is called "args" (short and descriptive) You’re proving the original point - it should be named “arguments” because that is what it is. Saving … 5 bytes? by naming it “args” instead is exactly OP’s point.

You may be surprised to learn that when asked, teens would actually prefer that everyone give up social media. The key word is “everyone” and it’s a collective action problem. Excellent article in The Atlantic titled “End the Phone Based Ch

the album Folk Singer by Muddy Waters was an ear opener for me. (1964!) I had always thought Clapton Unplugged was really nicely mastered and then after I heard Folk Singer, I realized they were trying to replicate it almost in its entirety

I suspect they can still cram more pixels into this thing but it would have inflated the purchase price pretty noticeably. Apple likes to iterate with their hardware, so I have no doubt they can get to where they need to be pretty easily if
