In 1996 college grads were pretty excited about $50K-$60K paychecks. So I can't imagine a senior engineer getting more than $120K or so, but they definitely were not only getting $50K.
You don't think that more people use Apple iCloud in Japan or India (total population 1.5 billion) than in Liechtenstein (total population approximately 0)?
Liechtenstein is a part of the EU and is subject to the same regulations as the rest of the EU. Launching a product in Japan or India require an entirely new set of legal and regulatory work.
No it isn't, which is why Apple specifically calls it out when they also have an entry for "the European Union". Economic Area, yes, Union, no. And Switzerland is part of neither and has their own data regulation separate from the GDPR.
FWIW I use all of those apps on a daily basis with Firefox and have not noticed any performance issues. It may be worth giving it another try if you haven't in a while.
Indeed. Hangouts is one I find works better in Firefox even! But I observe it seems to vary. Perhaps Intel Macs has some quirks that makes it more peformant and reliable in Firefox.
> a legal case can be filed and it can go through the courts before the ban-hammer falls
Once a community that cannot be shut down is declared illegal, what happens? One of the major points of decentralized communities is that there is no effective "ban hammer" to shut them down.
Then it is declared illegal and simply continues to exist. If this is truly a major crime (loss of life, major financial loss), then governments have many means outside of technology to shut stuff down: old-fashioned detective work, cross-national police work, enforcement of treaty obligations or even para-military action in severe cases.
Right now, a sneeze can ban you on the cloud. And the bans are just a click away - and in many cases not even that.
There's always some criteria for the test group. An example might be:
Age 20-65, BMI below 2, with no long term medical conditions
You find enough people that fit that group and then randomly divide them into two groups, one of which is the test group and one the control. It is possible but unlikely that the criteria includes "has not previously had Covid 19". Assuming the criteria didn't include that, then some of the participants and some of the control group will have previously had Covid, and so we now have some evidence as to whether a cytokine storm occurs.
I moved about 5 months ago and purchased a few thousand dollars worth of furniture. I could have paid cash but since it was 0% APR, I used Affirm and set the money aside in an investment account that has paid for ~20% of the total cost. Of course it could have gone the other way, but it was a risk I was willing to take.
Love the product! Since you asked, one request that I would find helpful is having the stat comparisons from the previous day based on the same time the previous day rather than the total. The comparisons almost always show some -X% because you are comparing a 24 hour period yesterday to a 24 - X hour period today.
