The American Olympic committee, among all other Olympic committees. Not the whole world.

But don’t worry, the judge hearing the appeal also has close personal ties to the Romanian Olympic program (whose athlete came in fourth, and stands to benefit from the committee not hearing the appeal), which were disclosed to everyone except the Americans. Nothing weird about that.

Said it better than I could. Fair? Yes. Effective? No.

Sales slowing is only one variable in the “growth” equation. Specifically, are sales of gas vehicles slowing more than sales of electric cars? Yes.

People are replacing vehicles at some standard rate, but growth of EVs is dependent on what percentage of new vehicle sales are gas versus electric. As long as people aren’t moving back to gas cars en masse, the growth of the segment can continue to rise, even if sales overall are slowing.

Planned obsolescence plus unnecessary app subscriptions for physical hardware, worst timeline.

At least this device doesn’t need the app, but instantly moves this company from near the top of my recommendations for kitchen gadgets, right into the “never recommend” bucket.

Actively encouraging people to toss perfectly good hardware to fuel their subscription bullshit… and these guys weren’t even recently bought by a VC firm or anything?

This is already the case, it’s not a law, but contracts. You’re not in fact a party to the agreement, so you’re not beholden to the terms.

Metroid prime pinball was incredible, especially with the use of the rumble pack. Underrated accessory for the DS.

"My mother ... would give us a hard time sometimes, and she would say to us, 'I don’t know what’s wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?' " Harris said with a laugh. "You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you."
