1) You do know the M series chips offer the best performance per watt right now compared to Intel and AMD. 2) Saving costs means little if your hardware accomplishes zero goals. Grab develops iOS apps on these machines; what "real data platform" do you recommend to replace Macs?

Again my point is Windows does not always boot in seconds unlike what you asserted. I have worked in a few companies where they are probably still using the weakest CPUs off 5400 rpm HDDs. Booting anything on those machines will be slow. I am can imagine a company like a Bank of America being one of them.

No; it's absolutely a terrible idea. It may be great for the businesses; but, it's absolutely fucking terrible for the consumer.

This is absolutely fucking insanity. Imagine having to carry 6 different cards and wondering which one a particular store is going to take.

And you have not considered to enter offline-first, the service worker API has to load? Again, Grab has been doing this for 12 years. PWA is not new and they have chosen native apps.

But most of us did not assume to know better than Grab unlike you.

You do know that Louisville is THE major distribution hub for UPS in the US, right? Even if the UPS warehouses were not already built decades ago, it seems to be pure common sense that UPS would build warehouses to hold cargo . . . for their cargo hub.

Probably because in 12 years of developing iOS applications, developing PWAs does not meet their needs. Bear in mind, Grab is spend lots of money for their infrastructure. If PWAs was the best option, they would have chosen it.

Why are you assuming Grab is still using 12 year old technology? They are developing iOS which means tablets and phones. I seriously doubt anyone is still using 12 year old phones or tablets to use Grab apps.

Maybe you should do some research. I would venture the #1 reason PWAs are not used is they require a constant internet connection. In the case of Grab that means depending on reliability of Malaysia's mobile networks. While Malaysia does not have the worst score in the world compared to the likes of Pakistan, it is the worst in the region. A native app would only need internet to connect periodically whereas PWAs would never really work.

Let's summarize: You still don't know why a computer with 12 years of experience is doing something. But you're sure you know better. Again, have you presented your ideas to Grab?

They're making a reference to AA191 where damage to the pylon caused by removing the engine with a forklift caused it to detach on takeoff. I haven't heard any suggestion that this was the same thing. It's been 45 years.

"Hey, everyone! Don't pay any attention to those Japanese translators who'd been volunteering their time and expertise for the last 20 years that we just insensitively and comprehensively shit on... Look! New mascot logo! Giz cash..."

(Narrator: New revenues did not materialize.)

With a decent SSD and a decent CPU. I would not put it past some companies to still be running with CPUs that barely pass minimum requirements and using the slowest HDDs.

Considering that Grab has building iOS apps for over 12 years instead of developing PWAs, I would guess they know more about their business than you. Have you presented your ideas to Grab?

1) Commercial pilots have to be certified to fly models of aircraft. No rules say pilots can only certify on one type of aircraft for their entire career. Some pilots certify on multiple ones. 2) UPS and FedEx fly more than the MD-11 as mentioned in the summary that it was a small part of their fleet.

All of that and refuse to really fix the drift issue with Joycons.

First, Lego sets were never "generic". They were exactly what they were, be it a truck, a house, a castle, a space ship, or a dog.

No they weren't. There were sets that were just a collection of various types of bricks. They'd often have instructions for making a variety of things with the included bricks, but all the bricks were generic and not tailored for one thing. None of the things with instructions to build would use all the bricks. These sets used to be very common, but Lego reduced their prominence over the decades. They still make them, though. My sons have one of those sets purchased post-2010 - I think it came in a plastic bucket rather than a cardboard box.

You wait for the "pre-fill data" to arrive, log in to myGov, everything's pre-populated with income earned, tax withheld, etc. You just fill in the expenses you're claiming, offsets, additional income (e.g. foreign income), and whatever else, then click submit. For the last few years, the only things my wife and I have really had to enter manually is spouse's taxable income (she copies the pre-filled number from mine, I copy the pre-filled number from hers) and how we want to claim the Medicare levy reduction for having private health insurance. Takes less than twenty minutes, doesn't cost anything (besides Internet access, but we're paying for that anyway).

In the bad old days before they integrated it into the myGov web site, you used to have to download a Windows application that required Java and fill in all the numbers manually, then either submit online or you could print out a paper form and post it. But it was still free, and just required a PC with Windows, Java and an Internet connection. It sanity checked the numbers you entered, calculated expected refund/liability, etc.

Unless you're doing something fairly complex, you don't need an accountant or commercial software.

1. Wresting was on TV long before video games. 2. Brothers and cousins were hitting each other slingshots and rocks long before TV was invented. 3. Your anecdotal evidence does not "discount" everyone else. It only reflects your ego that you think that it does.
