Not having Google/Apple ecosystem is a feature, not a compromise for those going to the PinePhone. Those making that choice need to have realistic expectations on what they're getting, and be able to accept compromises on the avai

AMD and Intel have released multiple DDR4 chipsets over there last 4~ years. The chipsets releases have hardly been related to RAM type support. Typically it's power or PCIe related, with Intel being the worst offender.

You certainly should be liable if your product is highly dangerous and addictive, and you've purposefully created an environment that incentivizes over proscribing of your dangerous addictive product. If you actively encourage the misu

Maybe "best effort" is a misnomer, but it's often used to signify a general attempt without guarantee, rather than the absolute best effort possible. Like a delivery service making a "best effort" to complete delive

Doesn't answer the drunk driving or smoking issue. "Your Freedoms" always have limits. Without a strong safety net and worker protection, some at risk people are being forced outside to survive. Sweden at least has a strong s

Portugal drug model does not excuse murder. Again, no clue why you keep bringing this up. Racist speech and thought is often followed through with racist action, and this can be overt, but much of it is subversive throughout a society/

You said it was common. I said "it was not universal or common". Social media is often used to amplify a message, do not act shocked when it amplifies the response as well. I am not sure what the Portugal drug model has to do with

There has been automation in factories, but the point is that the innovation hasn't continued, and that the automation seen in factories typically stays in factories, which require volume/scale. There have been "minor" i

It does, because large scale lends itself to automation more easily, but even still, you have manual labor with unloading and loading, maintaining and reconfiguring the line, quality control, packaging, and delivery. A lot of these processe

"Mission Accomplished" - The banner behind George W. Bush in 2003. There are still US troops in Iraq to this day, 17 years later. This just seems like an extreme case of premature celebration. We have the winter ahead, and are sti

Is that automation or scale? Doing things on a large scale can be more efficient and require less labor, but McDonald's is still hiring people to do effectively the same thing in the stores as they did 50 years ago. A lot of industrial

I'd imagine hiring PhDs to work on hard problems is not cheap, and I doubt Amazon would invest unless they believed that the long-term investment would result in a cheaper outcome than what they have now. The problem is that human labo

Well, until it's fully automated, human safety is still important. I think the problem we have is that destroying a human body with mindless repetitive tasks is often still "cheaper" than engineering an automated solutions. I

Trying to fix monopolies by allowing them to continue to exist results in the monopoly continuing to exist. How is this better? There is nothing in a "free market" that disallows a monopoly existing or continuing to exist forever,

I think decriminalization and treatment programs are the answer. I don't think allowing direct sales of things like fentanyl, meth, and coke are the answer though. Perhaps treatment programs can provide safe product to addicts, but pi

Except the market will lack perfect information, likely not price in long-term environmental damage, and encourage wealth hoarding via the literal pooling of wealth. Then you'll get crazy speculation, with the markets experiencing adve

I want to add that consumers are weak and voting with your wallet is often not possible in a constrained market, plus many consumers are stupid or "not rational" and make poor choices and are easily swayed by marketing. Obviously

Wouldn't BWB compromise passenger capacity, and wouldn't flying mach 0.98 be extremely fuel inefficient? I think there were more hurdles here than a lack of daring.

They already took that gamble and lost, twice. Would not be surprised to see them gamble with human lives again. Got to hit those quarterly sales figures. I think you scrap the plane, then start over with a wholly compliant design. This who

That's fine then, have them turn it off during periods of high fire danger. Massive wildfires also interrupt electrical service. Are you suggesting it's a good thing that they run their poorly maintained lines with a high chance o
