Artificial refrigeration and air-conditioning also serves as a handy proof of work for all the cities that in fifty years will have newly hot climates battling scorching temperatures and partially underwater.
Just last week on January 28th Vogue Business ran a huge feature on Angela Ahrendts with an exclusive interview and photo shoot, and now this? Seems like weird timing with how "work in progress" Vogue characterized her work at Apple with the tone of the piece.

"After turning round the fortunes of Burberry, Angela Ahrendts is five years into reimagining Apple’s bricks-and-mortar presence. Vogue Business meets the tech behemoth's senior vice president of retail on the steps of its soon-to-be-unveiled Washington, DC, flagship"
I find it's easiest to avoid a lot of these scammy practices without the mental load of double- and triple-checking labels by only shopping at places that stake their reputation on the quality and curated nature of what they carry.
But Target and Walmart have a large amount of products in stock within an hour or so ready for pickup from small towns on up. That's not true for Amazon except in large cities. For most of the country, you still have to wait one or two days to pick it up if you order with Amazon.
They are full-wave rectified so they don't flicker, and have an interesting semi-directional output them gives them visual interest when draped on the strand that brings to mind old-style incandescent bulbs.

I always wondered how Chinese sellers on Ebay could sell small toys and trinkets for less than a dollar with free shipping that took several weeks to arrive. It would cost more than that to send a small empty box between two addresses in the US.
"Direct primary care only works as a complement to insurance that pays for more catastrophic care like emergency room visits and specialists."
This is like saying: "I've found a solution to high auto insurance costs! You can save lots of money and pay directly for small fender benders! Oh, by the way, if your car is totaled, you'll need to find someone else that covers those very costly catastrophes."
"Apple removing the iPhone SE from sale does not mean you can stop designing for its resolution soon.
Non-Plus iPhones can be used in zoomed mode, which means they’ll have the same logical resolution as an SE."
The front page of NYTimes.com currently lists among the hard news the headline "Dogs in Poofy Dresses. You're Welcome." but I don't think that prevents a wide range of age brackets from reading and supporting it.
All this plus-it is so much easier to have all my subscriptions for apps in one place to know who I'm paying monthly, and to able to cancel them all in one place through Apple.
I'm tired of signing up for subscriptions and going through a series of dark patterns on a zillion websites to figure out how to manage and cancel my subscriptions. The worst is when there's one click to subscribe and they make you phone in to an annoying retention specialist to cancel.
Counterfeit goods are made and sold at a scale unseen in the West in China. There are markets the size of football fields hawking these rip offs. How is it racist to suggest the Chinese have a laissez faire attitude about copying others' work?
Sooo...Valve has a history of changing its policies to follow the law?
