I _think_ the GP's point is that Google is "managing" discovery, i.e., if Google were to up and disappear we would have a large problem on our hands. If search were decentralized then no single entity could bring it down.

But due to an increased focus on production values over character development and story, the king beyond the wall appears only for a short time during a lunch break to dance wildly upon the tables and promptly runs away.

Yes, I misunderstood his point entirely. On reading my response again I also realize that my examples come off as a not so subtle insult, and which is not what I meant.

Ok, but if we're including things which are currently impossible then I'd assume they'd rather just use Professor X and have him mind blast the missiles out of the atmosphere.

Anecdotally most of them are full of shit though. I have been around weight training a long time and so many of these people are little more than steroids, fake weights, and Photoshop. But they're more than willing to sell you their &#

So? Whataboutism isn't a strong case. There are also FAR fewer Teslas out there than there are iPhones and iPads.

This article is literally about Apple lobbying to make it harder for independent operations to repair their devices. They won't sell people parts. What does that say to you?

Yet there are any number of equally dangerous activities the average citizen can participate in if they like. There are 100 things in your home that can kill you if you decide to start fiddling. Why are Apple products any different? Why sho

I don't think the GP meant that to be a problem. What I got from it was "even if safety concerns are legitimate, trained professionals often do the work." So the safety angle becomes even more silly.

Two minutes of searching tells me differently. Grocery stores have used loss leaders for decades to get people in the store. Why do you say the opposite?

No, but the blue digis were mothballed almost three years ago now, so it was obviously regarded as a mistake. You may be right about the blues, I have no idea.

Is that accurate for Indonesia? I haven't looked into it deeply, but they have a relatively low median life expectancy and the mortality rate under 60[1] is quite high. [1] https://knoema.com/atlas/Indonesia/t

You realize that you can very easily be proven wrong, right? Amazon was "losing" more money in each year leading up to their IPO. By your logic we all should have been protected from investing in this obvious scam of a company, ri
