Yeah, but we’ve had countless examples of loss-making tech companies with sky-high valuations. Amazon didn’t make a profit for something like 20 years. Investors of course want returns, but they can differ on the timeframe they’re willing to wait for them.
It seems like Vision Pro allows selective focusing.
Are you going to jailbreak roadside assistance?
Is there a reason you don’t just get a joint bank account (or credit card)? Put equal amounts in each month and use that for all shared expenses. Zero effort, totally fair.
It’s true that a lot of data isn’t sold, but a large chunk of the figure you quote also seems to include business data — stuff that contains zero personal information but is still hugely valuable to companies and investors (look at how much this report costs, for example, or consider that a Bloomberg terminal costs around $25k/yr).
And remember, those investment buyers make up a big chunk of the consumer data market too and are only interested in aggregated insights to inform trading strategies. They don’t care about personal info or targeted ads.
There are lots of things that can go wrong with film.
What does that ~70% refer to? Japan is about 5% of Apple’s global revenue and iOS is installed on around 50% of Japanese phones.
Sensodyne Pronamel is SLS free and has fluoride.
It’s not being sold off. It’s an investment. Raspberry Pi has suffered from supply shortages that could be mitigated by entering into a partnership with Arm — and which would help further its charitable goals. Sales were down by more than a quarter in 2022 due to shortages.
And Arm isn’t the only minority shareholder. Sony, which manufactures its boards in Wales, also owns a stake.
These aren’t unusual commercial decisions to secure manufacturing and supply, and therefore maximise the dividend it pays to the foundation, while retaining majority control.
I know some dead frogs that could use a witch.
How is it being used against you?
Are they alleging that Mastercard sells data with personally identifiable information? Because if not, what’s the big deal? The people that buy this data want to know about trends.
How much do you think it would cost for them to accept cheques instead?
It’s even worse than that. X is used so widely in trademarks that it’s guaranteed to attract lawsuits. Facebook had to settle several claims over the change to Meta, and the use of X is a much bigger problem than that. And Musk is so dumb that he’ll probably try to fight them and end up paying a fortune in legal fees anyway.

Here in the UK everyone just uses WhatsApp or maybe Messenger for some stuff. Even my 80yo mother uses WhatsApp, so it’s obviously not that difficult. I think it stems from data being cheaper than SMS (and media messages) back in the day and WhatsApp being more innovative with group chats, internet voice/video calls, etc.
I also lived in Hong Kong for many years and it was the same there, with everyone using WhatsApp or WeChat.
As far as I can tell, only Americans still use SMS as their main messaging system.
Instance-agnostic links to posts would be good too.
It’s the same in many fields. Trainees learn by doing the easy, repetitive work that can now be automated.
