Are you asking why stock of a single company is different from “stock” of the richest country and only superpower on earth?

Also, money is liquid, can be spent immediately. Stock is not liquid, it has to be traded, vested, etc. and given enough stock will tank yje value if too much of it is liquified at once.

I mean, I like a good Google hate train as much as the next guy, but that’s kind of a legitimate thing to want.

Also, one of these is a mere update hugging the tech plateau, the other is a disruptive hockey stick.

That may have been true during the lavish times of ZIRP, but I wouldn’t expect to see this dance any longer, at least until money is cheap/free again.

Yep. What they should have written:

“We recognize that our recent runtime fee policy announcement wasn’t well-received. We genuinely apologize for the oversight and any confusion or concern it caused. Your feedback is invaluable to us. We are actively discussing the policy with our teams and the community and will be revising it based on your inputs. Please bear with us as we work through this, and expect an update soon.”

PR is hard, let’s go shopping!

Same here, we’ve made it to 3 now without any screens and our house looks like a children’s book library, our daughter is bilingual and ahead of her age cohort. Of course that’s again a correlation/causation thing, but being able to connect with her over reading books, answering questions (so.many. questions…) has been wonderful. She’ll be hit with digital everything soon enough, so why rush it indeed. At the moment she’s doing video calls with the grandparents and very occasionally looking at photos or animals on the phone, and that’s it.

This article has been flagged on HN for being clickbait garbage.

I’ve taken it to the seas whenever a service isn’t available in my region, but if they start to price gauge on top of that, I’ll exclusively taste the salt water. This is the way.

Hasn’t it been in early access for a few years?
