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.

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.

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.
