Indeed I was! I’m not sure the studies you linked would either confirm nor refute that point. I agree with your supposition that studies on Indian call centers probably don’t generalize particularly well.

Keeping commercial real estate values up is the main goal of in-person public schools?
I was making a point about remote schooling, and based on the responses I’ve gotten, I feel like most people here didn’t even read my comment

You didn’t address my point at all — I’m talking about remote schooling, which I believe studies showed did not do well.
I agree with you that the WFH “productivity” studies are suspect since it’s difficult to measure productivity in any meaningful way.

Why not? Remote schooling was generally viewed as a poor substitute for in-person schooling, so it doesn’t seem unreasonable to me that there could be benefits to doing things in real life.

Exactly, which is why I said “charging people to play pirated games” (though I suppose it was really just one game, so no plural was needed.)

I downvoted it because it’s blaming the wrong entity; the real bad actor here is Apple.
The AltStore should be free and it should be available globally, but neither are possible thanks to Apple’s anticompetitive shenanigans.

Agreed, most of the characters in the book are so flat, and only do things because the plot needed them to do that thing.
The Netflix series managed to make the character’s motivations seem more believable which I appreciated.

My favorite post-Jobs keynote moment was the confused laughter when Apple triumphantly announced the price of the $699 Mac Pro wheels.

So disappointed they’re still doing the prerecorded presentations. The old live ones were so much more fun!

Seems they are aware of that problem, according to the article:
Taxis can use Market Street but Uber and Lyft can’t — an aspect of the system that even planners say has problems, since so many people use those ride-booking options, but there’s no obvious way to let them cross 10th Street without allowing all other drivers, too.

Agreed. The problem was they had planned to redo the streetscape as part of the Better Market Street initiative, but the plans fell through because the Board of Supervisors spent so much time infighting that they lost the federal funds that would have funded it:

What would you love to see in a future version of Apple Maps? For me it's got to be an option for always have the map be north-up when doing turn by turn directions.
/r/MovingToJapan had a ton of great content, and I thought it would be good to link to it: https://web.archive.org/web/20230315064604/https://www.reddit.com/r/movingtojapan/wiki/index/#wiki_general_advice
This actually seems useful!
Back in the day you could apply custom themes using Cydia! I forget what this theme was called, but I liked the look! I wonder whatever happened to BtBx and Goalkeep, those were cool apps that just vanished.
Who can forget those *reflections*?
