And in India they have UPI which is similar in the use of QR codes, but facilitates interbank p2p payments

I wouldn't say that's a huge downside as in theory prices should be that little bit lower

One of the problem's with MDM software is that corps want you to login and use your personal phone, I guess to save costs, and to make it easy for you to do work out of your regular business hours.

If a company asked me to use MDM software and set themselves up as a device owner on a phone I purchased and used every day my answer is: hell no

If they want that, they can buy me a phone, and pay for the mobile/data plan. I've worked places that have done this, having 2 phones is a pain, but you only use the corp one at work or if you're oncall.

We're all different, I remember waking up early to run a marathon (something like 5am), being exhausted for the rest of the day, but still struggling to sleep at night around 11pm or so

Given OP's 10 hour range, UTC+0 to UTC+10 is almost certainly going to be the 10 hour range that includes the most people. It includes all of Asia, Europe and Africa, and excludes both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

Given India is UTC+5.5 and China is UTC+8, plus many other large countries are outside that range (Indonesia, Japan, Bangladesh, Mexico, Phillipines) I think you need to stretch it a bit

Hybrids (so presumably Prius' too) are the most likely type of vehicle to catch on fire: https://www.autoinsuranceez.com/gas-vs-electric-car-fires/

ICE cars are also not immune, for example:

On April 25, 1996, Ford Motor Company announced it would conduct one of the largest recalls for a safety-related defect in the history of the U.S. Department of Transportation. The recall covered approximately 7,900,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles in the U.S. from model year 1988 through 1993 for a defect in the ignition switch causing the cars to catch ablaze spontaneously (NHTSA recall number 96V-071).

Would it be much worse than a car with a full tank of gas in the garage or a few cans of diesel for a generator? A lot more potential energy in those than this battery even if fully charged.

The silly thing is it would be easy to fix this from Apple's side. They know if a phone has connected to the messaging backend in X days, they could easily fall back to SMS if the recipient hasn't connected in say a week, and then keep using SMS until a phone for that user reconnects.

They choose not to deliberately to tie people into iPhones.

Messages, Voice, Allo (rip)

even Google docs: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2019/03/hotte...

Push notifications are useful in browsers in all the same places they are useful in mobile apps. Note that browser push notifications also work on mobile, so you don't need to install an app to get real time alerts.

For example:

- Sites with chat can send you messages even if you don't have the tab open (or even browser in some cases)

- Online game e.g. board game or chess can push to you when it's your move.

- Home alerts, e.g. that your garage door has been opened

Sure there are a lot of spammy notifications, e.g. sales alerts, news items, etc. that most people probably don't want, but there are genuinely useful use cases.

High frequency traders would look into this, but I don't think it would be a big revenue stream for SpaceX.

I used to work for a company doing microwave backhaul and they liked us as the speed of light through air is faster than fiber, and they could get more direct links. It was important enough that we had special low latency builds of our firmware with some features removed.

I went to a Monster Jam show in ~2018, looks like they're still going: https://www.monsterjam.com/en-US/tickets

Based on this, by the time you're 30, around 2% of your male high school peers have passed away, but only 1% of your female ones. Puts an interesting perspective on things.

I don't think this will ever end, according to the cube rule:

Pizza is toast

A stack of pancakes is toast as syrup/butter is on top

Nigiri sushi is not sushi, but is toast?

Steamed pork buns are calzone

Pita pockets are soup/salad w/ bread bowl

Apple and Google (and others) also allow loading credit using physical cards that you purchase at retail stores. I believe the stores get around a 5-10% margin on these, i.e. you buy a $100 gift card, and the store only pays Apple/Google $90-95.

There is a definite cost to all these so 0% is unreasonable. Epic is trying to be the "good" games distribution store and they reportedly take a 12% cut. Something around there, maybe down to 10% would be a reasonable place for Apple/Google to be.

£100,000 in 1969 is nearly £2 million today, so while little compared to the billion dollar adaptations in the 2000s, still a tidy sum

6% seems a pretty good bump to me. Enough to get people interested, not so high that the company left heaps of cash on the table.

US West coast is only 3-5 hours difference depending on daylight savings, but the day before. That's plenty of crossover for me. Australia is also 3-5 hours difference, NZ's not really close to anywhere

I had a former coworker who suggested me, not sure how I'd go about it otherwise.

We're remote first and are hiring for all sorts of roles if you're interested: https://www.tetrate.io/careers/ (scroll down to the bottom)

Already working remotely for a US company :)
