How about a strange outdated idea. Stay where you are and start paying dividends? Well, somehow that is now unacceptable idea.

Location permission is the weird one. Well yes the WLAN network ties to location. But still why can't it be absolutely clearly separate from satellite positioning systems...

Remember how things ended up when insurance policies on loans you didn't hold were allowed... I think there is quite a lot of good reasons to ban those sort of bets.

I think truth is that tech companies are really bad at business unless they can scale with free unit economies. Even the unit costs with per seat subscriptions seem insane when you stop and think of the numbers in isolation. Ofc, compared t

Also thinking about it. Fibre was in the ground. It had minimal storage costs. Same can't really be said about buildings and hardware there which has ongoing costs even if turned off. Storage alone has cost involved at this scale. Ware

And PC market is not going belly up for any reason they predicted. But because price are sky rocketing on two key components due to external pressure. And one of the players mostly stopped caring. I believe it would spring back once prices

Isn't credit ratings pretty much that? Buy the payment history on debt and then sell some derived value to anyone willing to pay?

Difference is that cybertruck is in the purposefully ugly category. Even if it could have been done lot better. This one is not supposed to be ugly. If you want ugly you need to properly lean into it. Cybertruck at least attempted that.

That is one horrific looking thing. And the back kinda reminds some of the past. But it also looks like smaller car inside bigger car... What is going on?

Or have their own room in first class... Maybe time trade off isn't worth it for most of the people who can afford it at that point.

No wonder they need to extract such a massive cut. I really have no hope we will ever get to efficient middle-men who take least they can for good of both sides beyond them.

Kilowatts as in power consumption or as in refrigeration or heating power? AC is somewhat not straightforward.

I wonder what percentage of wooden furniture is truly hand-crafted in whole chain. That is felled with hand-made tools by hand. Transportation maybe can be ignored. Then hand sawed without power tools. All other tools after that being hand

As long as you have customers that are willing to pay more than it cost you are fine. And with AWS seemingly there is plenty of those. So question isn't is this most efficient way but will someone pay at price that is above what new ha

The west absolutely loves enshitified products. So why not sell them what they want? If they wanted quality they would pay slightly more and do something about it.

I read somewhere that it depends... Different shaped objects benefit from different surface effects. A rounded surface like ball benefits from dimples where as more straight surface like arrow would not. I have no idea but I could also gues

And on other hand I really do not understand how basic project boilerplate templating wasn't already a fully solved issue. Surely it should have been doable...

More so tells me just how bad Google search has become and just how bad content in general has become.

I could see less savoury companies(which is nearly all of them) to see potential whistle-blower like this as a risk in future. Most people are bad people after all. Especially those in hiring roles.

Feels weird. There is not that much books between The Colour of Magic and Guards! Guards!. So as engineer I would fully expect them to be on same shelf. Or the later book being on lower one due to the usual western sorting of left to right

In general economy that is not the stock market is looking less and less great. Answer to this is to tighten the belt and that means losing employees. Especially as there has not been any new great revenue sources outside AI in recent years

Germany does pretty well in "non-software" hi-tech. That is manufacturing and older school engineering. In that sense strategic investment on these areas which lot of Chinese industrial output relies on makes perfect sense.

It probably is. Sharing in what is essentially a massive windfall is most likely positive. This money will get spend or invested by employees. Which should stimulate the economy at much higher level if it just stayed in stock market. This i

To me standing water sounds like obvious thing to include in testing. And maybe even design some reasonable technical solution like sensors near say wheels. Areas with water should not be that uncommon that vehicles would never accidentally

The value in Medical patents is not the idea. It is the process of proving efficacy and safety. Which are the expensive parts. And I doubt we will trust AI with those any time soon. We grand Medical Patents because proving things is expensi

Fair use is the balance between creators and those that in someway use the content. Somehow it has become excuse not to compensate the creators in anyway. To me AI training part really looks something that should be treated separate and thu

Also really how many satellites we actually need globally? There must be some sensible limit. And I do not believe any other crap at all. No space mining, manufacturing, moon/mars/venus/mercury/europa bases...
