Musk's greatest strength is that he is a rich investor that is willing to take chances on business ideas and back those ideas with his own money while also building hype for the product. The issue is that his approach translates poorly

>And for those further out, where the Muntz TVs did not work, those could be returned at the customer's additional effort and expense, and not Muntz's. What a truly awful approach to saving money. Just mislead the customer and

The simple answer is to greatly increase the homestead exemption while raising property taxes to offset the lost revenue. Let those not living most of the year in their houses pay a premium for that luxury.

Interestingly, you can sell a program that edits the file in a specific manner as long as the user provides the original file.

Chip demand is cyclical, and idle capacity is extremely costly, so chip fabs are built around the bottom of the demand curve to always run at full capacity. If you want to avoid another chip shortage, especially for national security reason

A fourier transform basically gives you an infinite number of sine waves with different amplitudes/phases at every frequency. If you add them all back together (the inverse fourier transform), you get back your original signal. Audio c

At least in Walmart I've had workers come over to me multiple times to verify I correctly scanned things. There's definitely more scrutiny involved when you have a centralized self-checkout (this only happens in the more sketchy W

Same here. A rich family sold a lot of land where our homes are now, but kept a little private pond with a house in the back. The only folks I ever see back there are either landscapers cutting the grass or if the owners come out for a big

To add, there's a massive difference between legitimate criticism and ungrateful entitlement. Complaints, even bad ones, are a crucial part of the feedback loop. If 99% of users say "this is terrible" with no elaboration, sur

Most open source contributors aren't doing it to be paid; if there isn't enough demand or support they simply stop working on it and that's it. Usually once a project is big enough then there's enough demand from users t

It sounds to me like that person was at least helping to legitimize and popularize the software they use. Open source needs users just as bad as it needs contributors to be successful. Linux would have died if it never had large scale adopt

Projects like Redis that are only popular because they've always been free and open source need to take a hint from the Linux Foundation and understand that maximizing profit is not compatible with what makes Redis successful. I have z

Obviously, the whole point is to tease all this serious discussion over something that amounts to a toy with almost no practical application.

People are forgetting that Redis became big exactly because of it being both free and open. If Redis came out with limitations similar to LLama 2 it would have been dead in the water since the main consumer is enterprise, while LLama 2&#x27

Usually depends on the impact. If it's one of many instances behind a load balancer and was easily fixed with no obvious causes, then we move on. If it happens again, we have a known short-term fix and now we have a justified reason to

If it's happening so rarely that killing is a viable solution, then there's no reason to troubleshoot it to begin with. If it's happening often enough to warrant troubleshooting, then your concerns are addressed.

Seems like LINE became the predominant app way back in 2012 (it released even before iMessage did in 2011), so my guess is that it took hold before iMessage ever had a chance, unlike in the US where texting was always the main way to commun

Sideloading is already a thing on Android, and I am not forced to use these apps to use the Android ecosystem. Mind you there are certain phone manufacturers who pack their phone full of crap, but I have a large selection of Android phones

Do you have an example of a place that has a similar rate of usage for iPhones but primarily uses WhatsApp for texting? In the US the rate is 87% for teenagers, I'm surprised it's that high elsewhere.

America the Beautiful Passes (which gives access to national parks and federal recreational land) require a valid photo ID with each pass, so it's not like cash alone solves this issue.

Public charges seems to include things like fees for services and tolls, so it would seem that payment for entry to public parks is included here. Unfortunate though, as it may not make financial sense to open up areas if it requires someon

Part of that is that outside the US, iPhone isn't as dominant in the market, so their anticompetitive tactics don't work as well.

It's an obvious abuse of their monopoly to suppress competition. Most kids use iPhone and for the general public in the US iPhone has >50% market share, so to expect most people to stop using iMessage to get better support with Andr

That's the biggest thing, allowing sideloading is 100% optional and lets people stay in the walled garden if they want. Apple not allowing it is absolutely about suppressing competition, which given their >50% market share is a blat

CHIPS isn't a handout; it's the only way to get them to build these expensive fabs domestically in a way that makes economic sense.

by Salgat 3y ago
A combination of the stock price already having that expectation built in along with CHIPS intentionally funding domestic overcapacity that has its own maintenance overhead. Chip demand is cyclical, which is why chip fabs aren't built

You could never trust a host to respond honestly about that anyways, so it's a moot point. AirBNB up until recently never acted on indoor cameras, and didn't care if a user reported it even if they felt the host hid/misled th
