Honestly, I don't think these layoffs (broadly speaking) are dangerous long term. In fact, and this may be unpopular, I think they will be greatly beneficial long term. Consider: - These companies grew at greatly-expanded rates over th

Garbage in, garbage out. I believe "eating less food" causes you to lose weight. If you provide calorie numbers that correlate, I would ask you to demonstrate causation vs correlation, and I don't think you could do that as c

If marketshare is a reflection of meeting customer requirements, then the fact that Google Maps is indisputably #1 and what 10X larger than Apple Maps means that consumers have decided which solution meets their needs the best, right? For t

You are very right to question this! While the thermodynamics aren't assailable, it turns out that the calorie system is in fact quite fallable and bad! There's a lot of good material on why, I like this talk: https://w

I was under the impression that the user is using 2 iOS devices as key generators for their 2FA. And Apple can certainly blacklist their device, delete their Account, and remotely disable their devices permanently. If they are just register

You literally didn't even quote my point correctly. This is called a strawman and it's extremely low effort and beneath the quality of this community. Apple Maps isn't a serious contender because 1) it's not public 2) it

Tying my entire life (every account etc) to two devices that can be remote-killed by a corporation which is not your friend is definitely a risk that I would not take. You really keep no access to your life that isn't under someone els

Apple's solution isn't a serious contender because it's hardware locked to high end devices that the majority of people don't use / can't afford (the demographics of this community not withstanding). While it&#

95% of stored energy in the US is hydro-electric pump storage. People really have no understanding of how the grid works. We don't just run gas plants all night.

So, if the big companies hire 40-50k new employees each over the past 2 years, and then fire 10-20k, leaving a net 30-40k employee gain for the past 2 years... that means recession? People have no context for these layoffs. This is not a &q

I'm all for battery rental because I think battery-swaps instead of recharging is the future. The model already works in a number of other vehicle sectors. 30 minute quick charges are not the future

>Just to add to this: You seem to be referring to the global picture. If we look at the US in isolation it is a different story. 30 yr low was ~4M barrels of crude oil from fields. We were at ~12M Barrels in 2022. The oil market is a ful

I think it's more about finding an offramp for motorsports and classic cars (and some rural machinery) that are against electrification for a variety of reasons (both legitimate and illegitimate). I don't think there is anyone at

This is a classic example of correlation and causation. You're basically saying that running is correlated with a longer life, not causative of it. Causality is undergraduate level science and any paper of any quality will discuss caus

I mean, it works ok. I think the issue here is structured documents like that wikipedia article. If you used smmry on each section, leaving the headers and structure alone, you'd probably get a far more 'coherent' result, and

Hard agree. The only case where "You fix all your own bugs" makes sense is a small company or start-up... but it's also a bad idea. Every engineer should get up to speed on every feature until it is no longer feasible/re
