Apple slows down old phones, no one gives 5 years of support.

Weird narrative here.

I didn't see any benefits at all. Only annoyances.
I don't actually believe your story the way you told it. Was her Android a 50 dollar piece of Chinese junk or Samsung? Only way I could believe it.

The only reason you go to CVS, is if you have 0 other options.
While I blame the various medical cartels for making healthcare unaffordable by bribing (Lobbying) hundreds of millions of dollars to politicians- can the customer be blamed for negligence?

But look, we flattened the curve!
VMisTheWay | 5 years ago | on: Ask HN: How do you organise your files and folders?
I went through literally every folder. Took probably 20 hours.
Wondering if I could simplify this with python. Eliminating generic program files, but keeping all user data. The goal wouldn't be perfection but to take that 20 hours and turn it into 5 hours.
Does this exist in any capacity right now?

In fact, it's more likely Google will use the regulation to corner the market with regulatory capture.

Btw if you consider that, there are wars over which JavaScript framework.

The benchmarking shows nearly every company is moving to screens. Sure you might have a few models that remove the screen, but these are cheap cars with limited features.
You literally can't have a button for every car feature.
And if your car doesn't have all the features, you won't sell well.
And if you disagree with all of this, you probably aren't the type of person to drop 40k-50k on a new car. You'd be happy with a 2014 car for 10k.

It might be a cultural thing, but issues I've ran into- Slow/low prioritization, no movement unless you follow up often, lack of experience.
Don't get me wrong, I can be lazy too. But when things are outsourced it's really hard to keep positive relations and get stuff done on time with high quality.

It's not trivial either, restaurant food is 7 to 20x more expensive than home cooked (source- Efficiency Is Everything)
The only other business model for a restaurant is to sell drugs(aka alcohol and caffeine). Then your business model exploits customer addictions.
I think we've spent far too much money/resources/manpower on lazy food habits.

I imagine you could pick a few Anti US government VPNs and at least 1 wouldn't cooperate.

But a politician having unfettered access to provide propaganda is not allowing leadership, if anything it's getting closer to single party control.

From a privacy point of view, couldn't you use multiple VPNs?

I think the root issue is that Medical treatment existed before the scientific method. This creates a huge industrial debt of "doing things the old way" and relying on authority/tradition.
I can only imagine deregulation is the solution. At least in the United States, medical is run by various cartels/factions. It would be nice to have input from scientists rather than authority.
Today they are on top, but if Automotive is any indication, Google will soon struggle
