Most of the stuff isn't edible and would kill you. Lots of glue.

I don't get what this has to do with AirPods exactly compared to other Bluetooth headphones. Besides the author using a lot of Apple words it seems like they're proposing a new product that has nothing to do with Apple.

It sound like we're in agreement that it's a pump and dump scheme and not a true investment.

This seems like an example of survivorship bias. That Honda is an outlier. Not every car will go up that much if at all. Hondas are known for reliability but it takes time to know if a car model is reliable and not a lemon. The purchase pri

It's either sarcasm or they have money in bitcoin and need people to buy into it so the price goes up. I can't tell either.

Pets.com was a business that could actually grow so it could still be considered an investment. Bitcoin is purely based on speculation. Gold is pretty much the same thing except it has some intrinsic value. The value of gold and bitcoin onl

This "legacy financial system" comparison isn't fair. I use standard banking and haven't been to a bank in years. I think a more reasonable comparison is with online only banks. Our current system doesn't actually n

I do it because I find it annoying and distracting. It feels like I did something wrong. I'm already staring at the screen so visual feedback is all I need.

> No, it really isn't. Disinformation is spreading factually wrong information to push an agenda. Who are you arguing against here? A strawman? It's almost as if you just read the headline and you didn't read the article.

Exactly. And if you question the covid response you automatically get thrown into these groups. None of these are examples in the article either. It's almost like they didn't read it.

> U.S. government data resulted in 450,000 overdose deaths from 1999 to 2018 They're paying just over $1,000 per life. According to the U.S. government a human life is worth $10,000,000. Seems totally fair. https://www.np

Way to be dismissive. I bet you would have said the same thing to people a decade ago who thought the government was using the Internet to spy on them.

It's better actually since you can share some libraries when possible.

If any of software relies on different versions, yes. It beats not being able to use something because you can only have one version of a library shared.
