  • That is a really good point, and there isn’t a one answer first all. If you’re looking for a mobile app, then you could do Android studio or Swift for IOS. If you only want to develop one app for both, then maybe you should just do an electron app that is essentially just a website.

    These tools will either have a visual interface editor, markdown language (like html), or a way to define visual components in code. After programming an app you can build, which will give you the appropriate executables for the different platforms.

    If you’re looking to start simple, then use something like pygame to learn the basics of using a visual interface.


  • Usually there is some reason behind the decision. This may be used by less tech literate people so having the familiarity of windows would be useful, or maybe the machines that are mass purchased are from a company with windows pre installed and it isn’t worth swapping. Maybe someone in the company is helping a friend offload licenses at cost to the company. Sure Linux would work perfectly fine, but it’s not like it’s going to improve the profit of a company or stability to such a high degree that it’s worth it.

    The exec said that in order for subscription gaming to be profitable, then customers would have to be okay with not owning their games. It was posed more of a hypothetical instead of a sinister plan. Now would they prefer subscription model? Absolutely. Do they expect it to work rn? The exec doesn’t think so.

    It would be terrible for everyone involved, not just the economy but also for quality of life. Bailouts are bad, but not bailing out is worse. So what do we do? (Sorta) simple, legislation the prevents the amount of risks that banks are allowed to take. My proof is by counter example. The great financial crisis of 2008 was due to deregulation, mainly pushed by Regan era policy. Limits on banks force them to take their due diligence with each loan and decreases the risks of bubbles (crypto, housing, coins, etc.) forming in the first place.


  • The way I think about it is by creating a scenario. We give 100% of people $1000 dollars (just for sake of argument). Some people use this for groceries, others for car payments, others for investments. Some people don’t even realize they got that money bc they were so rich. Some people can afford to pay for school supplies for kids. They key point is not everyone is using it for the same thing.

    The reason it sounds like it should become the new zero is bc it does happen in some situations. If the government gave everyone that rents $100, then landlords will raise rent by $100 a month later. The main difference between the two is how specific the scope of the money is.

    Yes, there would be economic changes (not necessarily downsides) such as higher inflation due to government spending, but also increased GDP which will stimulate the economy drastically. It will lead to higher unemployment, not bc people stop needing to work, but bc they can quit their second job or focus on taking care of kids full time (which that actually doesn’t change unemployment, but it would change the workforce numbers).

    I am not an economics major or anything, but I tried to give reasons to explain why we would expect these changes to happen in the real world.
