fun fact: amex online banking wont let you use exclamation mark ! but allows question sign ? amex foreign exchange website does exactly the opposite. apple and amex is why my 1 password to rule them all routine got destroyed and now i just trust chrome to generate and remember passwords and rely on my Google account to carry them across devices
Square had similar program called Square Capital. I actually didn't make the last 2 paymenta totaling around $2500 and they stopped emailing me after a while. No collections nothing
Just another gimmick bullshit to show when opposing right the repair. Few weeks ago Apple started blocking battery replacements in iPhones, even original ones swapped from another original iphone.
No they didn't. The batteries still work. They just wouldn't show health percentages. Because, you know, at that point the gauge could be lying to the user, which is a problem with buying used phones.
As an end user you will not have to care. It just (rightfully) takes a chunk off the resell value.
Because the device has been tampered with, period.
Nothing prevents you from using it as usual. It's essentially just Apple writing "battery has been replaced by not-us, please don't blame us if this doesn't perform as expected or like, explode" in more obscure wording in their system settings.
It doesn't work with the original battery because... the company selling that IC to Apple didn't design PKI into them? The critique video literally proves this. This authentication scheme is designed by TI.
uber is making money from almost all of the rides and they keep around 35% to themselves. uber has 22000 people (not including drivers) working for it while facebook has 37000. all of Facebook's apps and underlying tech have been tremendously evolving and developing for years which can't be said about uber's app or their tech in general. uber will become profitable when they shed at least half of their employees at which point they will become just like Groupon or Zynga.
It's called "take rate" and it was reported in the S-1 and is reported in quarterly earnings for both companies. While some rides it might be 50%, it is far from 50% for either.
I grew up on Caspian shore. Article says shortage began in the 70s but I would say, from my observation of my father who was a fisherman, even in the 90s there was a lot of sturgeon in Caspian. We would have buckets of caviar at home being prepared for sale. The area we lived in was poor but people always had caviar on the table for breakfast. Also, the article says sturgeon doesn't need to go upstream in freshwater rivers to lay its eggs but it still does, the river Samur near us used to have sturgeon going up. Locals would catch sturgeon and would try to hold the belly hole of the pregnant fish because caviar would start dripping. Nowadays I rarely hear local fisherman catching any sturgeon with caviar, only industrial fishery companies are able to do that and sell 250 gram can of caviar for $100
Yeah, when I was really young I'd have caviar regularly, it was cheap, never thought much of it. Twenty years later, prices seemed insane for what was basically a weekend of fishing (mostly for the fish meat).
On that note, we had freshwater crabs pretty much every week, one big boiling pot of them. They were great, nowadays I can't find any.
not for American market. average car tanks takes 30-50 dollars of gas. markup on gas prices is really small around 15%. if sold at market prices profit from each delivery will be 4-6 dollars. cost of delivery will be around $20-30 dollars when you count driver salary, truck lease, fuel, etc.
Fuel delivery has been done in US profitably for very long time. its delivery of heating oil to houses but during every delivery they sell a few hundred gallons of oil and thats when the low margins start adding up, $40 delivery won't cut it.
This is not meant for average car tanks. As you can see on their site, this is aimed at trucks and generators with large tanks: https://mypetrolpump.com/
