You're a mind reader now?

I had a Blackberry Curve and I don't recall it having a music player. It was also so clunky compared to the iPhone is that it's almost unfair to say it had the same capabilities. I'm not an Apple fan but I have to grant that their UI was a huge advancement over anything that came before it.

USB-C for example was designed by Apple.

Only a little bit.

It seems to be a very popular mindset in software development that efficiency isn't as important because of how fast hardware has gotten.

How's this for irony: I was hired at my current job as part of a team whose whole mission is to address performance problems in a large desktop app...that's written entirely in Typescript!

It's not a very good adage. Charities exist, for example. And free drink refills.

When a business offers free wifi, it's giving you an incentive to stay longer and come back more often.

Everyone from Seattle loves eating a bag of Dick's (except vegetarians).

Oh God, I thought that was just a PNW thing because it's a hop growing region.

Ah yes, there's always someone shocked to find that there are actual users of a site that has been growing continuously for 15 years and reports over 3 billion MAU.

Your social circle is not the world.

OTOH, if there’s nothing deeper behind the painting, then it’s just unlicensed merch. EG, Disney has come down on day care centers for using their IP.

I'm not sure if it affects your larger point, but I suspect the problem with day care centers is not that they're copying a specific work, but that they're using characters that Disney owns.

Yeah, I doubt many people mind the decor, just the prices that seem to always come with it.
