You're absolutely correct that the prices of these phones are insane, but let's be honest here – a base-model Samsung Galaxy S10 is $899.99 MSRP. You can get them on Amazon for $699, which puts them at the same price as iPhone 11. So I'm not quite buying the Apple tax, unless your argument is that Apple is allowing everyone else to charge high prices, in which case you may be on to something.
Surprised there isn't more discussion of this. This is an extremely exciting development, though admittedly I have no expertise in this field. Does anyone have a background in hydrogen? Seems too good to be true.
We have definitely not stopped using React Native! Not sure where you got that impression. We continue to heavily invest in it as well as native platforms and make a case by case decision for all new products.
Also interested in hearing if they really stopped using React Native as a whole. Especially since their react-native-maps library is the defacto library for maps. It would be quite scary if they decided to stop using React Native.
Right now, the only thing I'm currently aware of is that their navigation library (native-navigation [1]) is pretty much unmaintained and they are trying to plan out a transition to move it under react-community.[2] The only thing that hints at their slowing use of React Navigation is the mention of conversion to React Native's navigation getting a much lower priority to the point that the native-navigation library has essentially become unmaintained.[3] But when I initially read that, it didn't come off as Airbnb deciding to stop using React Native.
Small team, in need of a self-driven person who can help grow the team with me. Working with large brands and government clients to produce interesting new experiences using web, VR, AR, iOS, IoT, and experiential technologies to create unique marketing campaigns that stand out. Bread and butter is still web development, but looking to move beyond that. Just directed a VR experience for FEMA out of this office.
Such a cool use case. I'd love to see the results if you could build a classifier for it, though I do wonder how quickly it could identify the symptom.
