As I recall they do - with many being delivered “green” to the integration upfittet but I think the 737’s for the p-8 is actually assembled separately just for the military

I wish apple/google would implement better notification control - like the ability to turn off all marketing notifications, and a much better digest format

Notification Channels is the official way to do this on Android, but it's up to the app developer to categorize them properly. They have no incentive to allow you to turn off ads.

Actually, they do have an incentive to let you turn off ads. If they don't, many users will turn off notifications entirely. At least if they categorize them, some users will just turn off the bothersome ones.

I'd say most people don't though, and those people might be more influential to advertisements anyways so it's a net win for them.

I just turn off all notifications for any app that sends me marketing notifications.

You are less charitable than me. Maybe I'll adopt your approach. I first give an app the benefit of the doubt and go into the apps notification preferences and see if I can fine-tune their notifications. If not, off for all at the OS-level. If yes, I tweak it, but if I get surprised by one later, off for all at the OS-level or uninstall. It's especially annoying because I don't have notifications shown on my home screen and need to unlock with a pin so if I go through the trouble of unlocking my phone to spam and I extra annoyed with the app.

If you're on Android, I'll always recommend Buzzkill to add very granular rules for notification filtering. I set up all kinds of filters just for the Amazon app.

On iOS I assume you're sol, that notification system is unhinged to my eyes.


That would be nice. I wouldn’t be surprised, as on-phone models get more capable, if we don’t see them start to build an “inbox” like we see with email where you can then start seeing much more heavy processing happening.

I think that's what the Notification Organizer on Android (maybe Pixel exclusive, not sure) does. It's sorting notifications into broad categories using AI and groups them in the notification shade.

Makes sense, Google definitely have a lot more experience in that space with gmail than Apple do.

Too bad about the walled garden or you'd have this tweak already installed years ago.

why would you think a public traded company behaves any better than a privately owned one?

My understanding is people don't like the PE / LBO with a single investor, because it loads the company with debt that it pays back via cutting quality and service offerings.

My assumption is publicly traded company would have access to better financing terms and a diverse set of investors with less "hunger" the financial shenanigans the PE investors have.


Totally agree - but I guess I was getting at is that largest mfg. per the article is a a public company, and the number two is private equity, would we think that there would be a meaningfully different dynamic if they both were public?

yup, i think a majority of people would agree with you, so why hasn't it happened? I think the answer is that elected representatives are more beholden to public sector unions than their constituents.

Texas: Famously pro-union

yeah texas is definitely not pro-union - except that the only public sector unions that are allowed are for police and firemen... with Texas police unions contributing the the 3rd highest amount to politicians (behind CA and NY) - so its a real thing.

That’s called being pro-police

complete and utter incompetence by local elected officials. If one of the richest towns in America (average home price of >$2m) can do it - just imagine how bad it can be in "average" towns...

It’s such clickbait to purposely conflate the word headquarters with legal domicile / registered agent. I mean Garmin, Medtronic, Accenture, Aon etc are all non-us businesses but no one shows up in Switzerland looking for Garmin, they go to Kansas…


But if you did show up to their Swiss address presumably the representative there would know who you were talking about and be able to confirm that they are in fact a client.


Then why not write that story?


What story? "Garmin registered agent successfully confirmed" seems much less likely to be of interest than "polymarket registered agent fails confirmation, possible fraud afoot".


Switzerland is a tax evasion heaven too. Companies don't go there for the "predictable legal framework" lol, they go there to do shady schemes of tax "optimization".


Is that giant building you can see from the highway in Kansas their headquarters? I was surprised to see it.


This is probably the most relevant metric:

Not seeing a bunch more rigs operating means there new drilling isn’t ramping up.


If anyone was serious about energy security in North America or Europe they would be building polysilicon, ingot, and wafer capacity.


The world’s dependence on China for solar panel manufacturing is troubling, but unlike oil, once the generating facility is installed you’re no longer dependent on your supplier (at least for a decade or two). I would be more concerned about batteries if I was in government


Our dependence on China for cars is even scarier.


India has huge surplus capcity of solar panels. Sadly Trump put 100-200% tariffs on Indian solar panels. Its very easy and cheap to produce these outside China.


The whole idea of processing gain blows my mind that more volume comes out than goes in.

Also the fact that that oil is different colors (green, red, etc) and not black is always amusing.


Highly recommend
