These drugs have been around for more than 10 years. If there were significant downsides, we probably would have seen them already.

If you have vision problems, US currency is totally unfriendly to you. Unlike other countries, which have bills of different sizes, all the US currency bills are the same size, so getting change as a blind person is basically relying on the honesty of whoever is behind the counter.

Yes. I used to work at a movie theater, where all transactions were to the nearest $0.25 because it made it easier for the kids like me behind the counter to count the change and not lose track... seemed sensible at the time and that was 20 years ago.

If this seems like an odd accessory to you, consider that women’s clothing often does not have pockets.

Why is UN recognition the metric here and not, like, idk the fact that Taiwan is a liberal democracy with the rule of law and freedom of speech and not a hypercapitalist dictatorship that disappears dissidents?

What incentive does Apple have to comply in advance? Every government wants to have their stamp on it, trying to build ahead of the specifications risks building something that is not compliant.

>I have five excellent-condition still-perfectly-working Apple products next to me, none of which have current operating system support from Apple.

If they're working perfectly, why does it matter if they have current operating support? It doesn't seem like you're dependent on Apple.

Would be interested to know the terms of the severance. Non-disparagement seems likely, but noncompetes are not enforced in California. So if you were trying to leave anyway, seems like a win/win.

The supply chain for this simply does not exist.

If a war rendered TSMC unavailable it would crash the global economy. There is no next best option.
