My bet is this will change when accidents start happening at a higher rate. A class action lawsuit combined with NHTSA investigation would be brutally effective.

The article just says that Americans noticed that accent, not complained about it. Big difference.

No argument with your statement, but wanted to say that I think any kid - American or otherwise - would find a Sorcerer cooler than a Philosopher. I would have to think that this alone would cause a change in title.

I suppose it will be for Facebook or any advertising firm that wants to push it to the next level of getting into your head.

Wim is different. He submits himself to researchers because he also wants to find out why it works (he doesn’t know, but wants to). But usually your comment holds.

> Things that are solving a specific problem for LARGE SCALE ENTERPRISE users. So, just like mainframes? /s Seriously, though, I think that was the point. The future needs to be a much less complicated tool.

Slack never went after schools during Covid - Microsoft did. My guess is that their markets are different and that's why the user count is so different. Of course, Teams is free when you have Office365, so.... there's that.

Great business idea for Blender!

I hope that case study is taught in business schools. That Microsoft did such a bad job is stunning to me. And Teams is darn near unusable due to interface weirdness, but Windows 11 integration gives me hope that this problem can be fixed.

Not the op, but “intense” has a different meaning here. Your comment is still valid for people who don’t understand it. There’s a saying, “if you see the Buddha, kill the Buddha” which effectively addresses the comment that I think you are

Great read based on solid science and data. We need much more of this.

Are mining lithium and refining lithium the same thing, or is it more like other metals?

As I read this, there is not one link to an alternative to Google Drive in the comments. Any suggestions? Distributed solutions (or self managed) preferred.

You realize your argument is a strawman, right? Essentially, excess profits can only go into one a a few places: - retained earnings (cash in the company's bank account) - reinvest in the company (either capex or opex) - paid out as di

One approach to look at is a tax (the tobacco tax as an example). By increasing the price of tobacco products, people will naturally migrate away from them. Although the taxes were/are astronomical in the US, some people continue to b

Thank you - I appreciate your comments. I wasn't nitpicking. This is actually a confusing part of economics, and the language of economics (which I'm trying to avoid) makes it worse. :) Let me give you a few real examples, but wit

True. Just curious how bloated everything has gotten. Also, you mentioned the video plugin. I hadn't thought of that one - I wonder how the old video plugin vs "native" video compares (ignoring file formats, probably similar,

Ouch. Something tells me that in the future on our personal computers we will be running virtual windowing systems (KDE, GTK, etc), which will make this both better and worse. That GTK (and firefox) take so much more memory to run still ama

It’s only two plants, and the article only discusses the US. GM is probably going to build more plants to be collocates near their auto assembly sites.

People really don’t get this, unfortunately. I always think that if f=ma, then as velocity approaches light speed, the deceleration of the grain of sand as it hits the hull approaches infinity. So even with a small mass, the force is huge.
