Monotonic··on Loot boxes linked to problem gambling in new research
Those are very different things. The whole point behind loot boxes is that you never know what you're going to get, and it might be quite rare/valuable. With both Blue Apron like boxes and airplane tickets you know and select exactly what you're going to get.

Does this have support for Rabbit pub/sub? There's a bit of confusing wording on the page that makes it unclear.
Monotonic··on Google tracks individual users per Chrome installation ID
I've been using Firefox as my daily browser at work, home, and on my mobile devices, and I've literally never had issues with Firefox taking up too much RAM. Chrome on the other hand was always one of the main culprits when my computer(s) would start to slow down.

This is the problem with anecdotal evidence; everybody's subjective experiences are slightly different and further colored with their own biases, so you can never get hard facts out of it.

> Please actually point out how the GitHub workflow can be even more simplified than what I outlined above

Adding a remote is generally a one-time cost and is unneeded for every PR, so adding that command (along with all the associated comments) makes it appear more complicated. The reality for most GitHub users is that they simply have to do:

`git push origin <branch name>`

The same way anybody can not know anything. There are a million things in this world to pay attention to, people are bound to miss stuff.
