Apple did not invent the term "app", "app store", or the concept of an app store. There was an app store called App Store for NeXT in 1991 that Jobs knew about, and many similar systems in the intervening years.

The only thing different about Apple's app store was the restriction on users' ability to install apps from other sources.

Jobs was great at business, not at tech.

Nice rant. I was born and raised in a "third world country" with better transportation than the US despite much lower density. In fact it would rank just under Oregon, so 39 stated are more dense than my country.

California does not have good public transportation, neither does a lot of the East Coast, for that matter. I have lived on both coasts and the Midwest, and visited over 35 states. Public transportation is mostly crap with a few exceptions in the core of a few Metro areas, and the NE.

Public transportation advocates want more than to add buses and trains, you are misrepresenting what we ask for.

What was invented was unemployment and underemployment, both of which are unnecessary.

It's kind of funny how you are wrong in every way.

• Union workers earn 20% more.
• You shouldn't work while injured. Worker's comp is a thing.
• You pay a dime to get a dollar.
• It's not abuse to take sick time, but you already stated people should work injured.

Thank unions.

The side car says this community is about technology news. I don't think they should list everything it's not, but maybe clarify if news about the tech industry are wanted or not.

Thank you, that guy is so bigoted he didn't realize I was calling him out.

Maybe you're just a bigot.

Why is it shameful to be behind Namibia and Costa Rica?

It's just the cost of a banana!

For all we know this is their luxury buy of the month.

You may want to look at the other reply to my post, they mentioned that a part that breaks should still be food safe. I don't work in the food industry, I'm just a 3D printer nerd, so I wouldn't know about things like that, I just wanted to make stuff for my own use.

I'm outdated as far as printer options, Prusa makes good printers without going into the really expensive enterprise tier, so that's where I would look.

That makes sense, thank you for pointing it out! I can't see plastic 3D printed parts complying with that.

I'm the past there were hot ends (the print head) that may contain lead, so there is also that to consider.

The solution I read about in the past was to coat the part at the end with something food safe, like glazing for ceramics.

Of course you have to be careful about cleaning these plastics, PLA can't handle dishwasher temperatures.

I did not know the answer so I looked it up. Fiberglass is hard to recycle and it isn't done much. A lot of nuclear "waste" is actually spent fuel which can be reprocessed and used again.

Obviously it would be better to improve recycling of fiberglass but as it stands today, nuclear waste might be recycled more often than fiberglass...

Legally the output of the training could be considered a derived work. We treat brains differently here, that's all.

I think the current intellectual property system makes no sense and AI is revealing that fact.

Don't use wifi smart stuff. My house uses zigbee, so you have to be physically close to interact in any way. That really narrows down bad actors.

In the US a lot of workers don't get paid if they don't show up to work because they have no paid time off.

In the US they often combine sick days and vacation days, so if you miss work while sick, you are using your vacation days, which are very limited.

As others have mentioned, the Galaxy S5 was water resistant and had a replaceable battery. Phones are generally not water proof, so don't go dunking them in water expecting them to work. Use a case for that, also if it floats all the better.

Adding a sealant when you close it isn't a huge chore, although it's nice to be able to just replace the battery without any tools, it's better than charging. Also it would still be water resistant until the first battery change.

Watches have replaceable batteries while having replaceable batteries, too.

As a side note, if you drop electronics in water, take the battery out before taking them out of the water, so that the short doesn't destroy them. The battery will be toast, but that's cheaper to replace.

Then you should do some reading. Latin America is the most urban region in the world.

We have small pockets with high density like Santiago. It has 1/3 of the population of NYC but 150% of the population density. And NYC is by far the densest US city.

The result of this is wide swaths of nature, I grew up used to seeing no buildings or anything else man made all the way to the horizon. When approaching my hometown we would first see the city glow, because you get actual darkness out in the country. In the US' lower 48 only part of Oregon and Nevada get close to that.

Of course now US companies are once again trying to destroy our land with careless mining.
