What’s the story there?


Hbo (owned by wb - the studio behind tenet) released it at the same time as theatrical release bc it was in the middle of covid and most theaters were closed anyway. Nolan didn’t like it tho

Or the free Spacedesk, does the same.

THIS is a trick question.


Doesn't Android allow sandboxed MDMs to be added to the phone? I've seen this when using Island, which basically creates a fake work profile on the phone which is completely separated from your personal profile. For dual apps like a second WhatsApp it worked well, to the point that sharing photos from the second account was a pain because it couldn't see the main file system. And when you don't want it anymore, that whole sandbox can be burned without touching the rest of the phone.

It'd be nice if iPhones had something similar. Not sure how anyone is supposed to use them for work when it comes to apps like WhatsApp and Signal. Or even less work stuff like dealing with recruiters, real estate agents and online dating where you might end up sharing primary contact details with people you don't want to hear from a few weeks later.


I've used this to get to a browser that almost does full screen videos in a borrowed Tesla, from the YouTube app.

Then navigated to some dodgy adware infested streaming site and it was working okay until changing to another video, when it froze the whole Tesla computer and the car needed a hard reboot


"How's 2023 going?"

"Well, I played a video and crashed my car. …not like that."


iOS happily kills backswipes with inconsistent alternatives.

eg View details in Photos, and swiping back doesn't work. But there are also no back buttons or visual cues. But there are 3 ways to get out of that screen AFAIK, which some might label intuitive. But if you go one step deeper and Adjust the photo details, the only exit is a Cancel button.


Even native iOS apps have some terribly inconsistent back behaviour, particularly when handling overriding swipe functions.

Eg Photos seems to change Back on almost every view. Swiping back navigates around albums and locations and such. Until you open a photo, then it flicks between individual photos. If you are looking at a photo and want to return to album view you need to click the Back arrow at the top left. If you swiped up to view photo details and want to go back to the photo, you need to swipe down. If you are Adjusting photo details, you need to click Cancel at the top left. If you are editing a photo and want to go back to the photo, you need to click Cancel, which is at the bottom left this time.

The only place I don't notice a back button in Photos is the top right. But that's exactly where Books puts it.

On Android, every single one of navigations would be performed by the dedicated back button/swipe. Which might explain why the iOS Google Photos app seems to just stick with a top-left back button on almost all views.


And in Australia they dominate the list of highest paid professions, so I immediately wonder how many other wealthy countries were skipped before settling on Cuba as a comparison.


I’ve had lawyer patients just giggle at the fact that I’m near the top of the income rankings in Australia. ‘Clearly doctors don’t hide their income very well!’

Patients pay less, and I get paid relatively more in Australia (less in absolute terms than the US). There are fewer middlemen clipping the ticket.


I know Australia has public and private healthcare systems, do physicians get paid the same in both markets?


More in private, but not the difference on an hourly basis is not necessarily that much.


It is a truth universally acknowledged that in any discussion regarding the US and social policy Australia simply does not exist.

The only viable comparisons permitted are that Socialism == Communisim == Stalinism and that if not rampant capitalism then obviously Cuba or Venezuela.


Cancer survival rates are gameable anyway. They depend highly on early screening. As a statistic I mean. You can have pretty solid 5 year stats without treatment, if it takes 10 years to kill people. OTOH, without screening, finding it 8 years later might make the best treatment futile, and the stats worse.


Funny that you'd call out the subjectivity of some measures, then bring immediately introduce another, breast cancer survival, that has also been called misleading, and only an indicator of higher screening. https://theconversation.com/when-talking-about-cancer-screen.... The US gov even explains why 5 year survival rates are "illusory" https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/screening/research/what-... Life expectancy, and perhaps maternal deaths, seems less subject to reporting variations.

As for other countries having less income after health care, is that actually a comparison of health costs, or simply average incomes? Because dollar value incomes don't translate at all between countries, as an indicator of wealth and living standards.

The big hole in all that is that costs without insurance can quickly exceed affordability, especially for the unemployed/poorer folk more likely to be without insurance. Which, as well as being unacceptable to much of the world, probably also removes a lot of terribly sick people from any measurement at all.
