An interview with Hannity? I can think of nothing more concrete.

Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, Tencent, Elon Musk, Samsung, Huawei, Dell, etc. There is no shortage of companies who could compete with Facebook on a technical level. Just so far there isn't any. My hope is that Facebook cre

The Quest was $400 and didn’t require a Facebook account. It looks like they cut some corners on materials to get the price down to $300. I would be willing to pay $400-$500 for a Quest 2 if it didn’t have the Facebook integration. More im

Epic could allow other studios to create stores within Rocket League so that I could buy from those other studios instead of Epic. I just don’t want to be restricted to what Epic has to offer. I’m actually just taking the piss out of Epic l

Absurd hyperbole is answered with absurd sarcasm. Half the US? Come now. If you don’t like Apple you can switch to Android, Lineage OS, or other open source variants. You have dozens and dozens of phones to choose from. If you don’t like Ro

160 million people dependent on the App Store for their livelihood. Such a tragic outcome.

A sizable percentage of people don't want to live in condos. And they aren't necessarily small, either. >This do increase the price of real estate, but not that much relative to the bigger picture. The price of a "glitzy&

My takeaway from his or her comment was that housing is expensive because it’s nicer. And it’s true. It is hard, if not impossible, to find a modest, small house. The median size of new construction is more than double what it used to be. A

I just want to be able to buy skins for me cars outside of the Rocket League store. I don’t appreciate the Rocket League monopoly on rocket league skins.

It’s not just logging in. This thing is covered in cameras, sensors, and microphones. I don’t trust Facebook with my name, much less with detailed information about everything in my house. Absolutely fuuuuuck that. I’d rather miss out on VR

Valve is hilariously stagnant. The Steam windows app went ignored for nearly a decade until Epic came in and started eating their lunch. The mobile app looks like a contracted out app from 2009. Seriously, go download the mobile app. Half t

Not a competitor to the Quest, but a compelling product in that category.

They very explicitly said it has to be a “real name” account. Enough to make me question the strategy of a throwaway account. I bet they’re going to match your credit card against your FB profile to see if your account is authentic. At the

Please, anyone, desperately anyone, literally anyone, please, for the love of god, make a competing headset that doesn’t have this deep Facebook integration bullshit. I do not want to see this become the Oasis.

I can see the local channels being a deal breaker if you otherwise can’t get them. They have a solution for most people, through AirTV, which I quite like. I have the “AirTV Anywhere” and it’s pretty nifty.

YouTube TV used to be $35/month but they kept adding content that I don’t want and cranking the price up. Now it’s $65/month. I find Sling to be the best value now. YouTube TV turned into cable.

The "Premier" offering is extremely compelling to me. I already spend $10/month for iCloud 2TB and $15/month for Apple Music family. For $5/month more I can get TV+, Arcade, News+, and Fitness+. That's a pre

You are vastly understating the volume and type of data that Facebook is gathering. You casually mention photos but there is a mountain of information in each and every photo. People upload tens of thousands of photos. You also just hand wa

Gene editing is the surest path to dystopia that I can currently imagine. And I don’t see any way to avoid the inevitable arms race. If North Korea is engineering super intelligent kids it is almost certain that South Korea and/or Chin

It is entirely possible that it’s just a gap in our understanding that does not violate existing “laws.” What’s that quote about sufficiently advanced science being indistinguishable from magic?

No. But I still think short selling is absurd and I don’t understand why we allow it. If you don’t think a company will do well then don’t buy their stocks. Simple as that. I don’t know why we allow seemingly infinite market gambling that b

We could increase gasoline taxes so that roads, bridges, and tunnels are not falling apart. We could further tax gasoline to offset the emissions damage. Nothing is ever going to seem reasonable so long as we keep comically underpaying for

To each their own, I guess. The Model Y pulled the seats straight from the Model 3 and literally just put them on a pedestal. The materials are about as “luxurious” as what you would find on a upper trim CRV.

The difference is knowing the costs ahead of time versus getting a bill and being unable or unwilling to pay. Most post paid services, as you call it, have unknown costs at the time of service. Not so for dining at a restaurant. Not paying
