No, that's not my argument. My argument is that if they are lying, they are doing so flat-out, not by using weasel words—because the wording they used at the point of disservice was very clear that they would be deleting them, not

Sure, LCD TVs come in boxes that have padding. So did CRT TVs . The padding was probably a lower percentage of the volume, because they were honkin' great cubes to start with, but don't try to pretend that LCDs in boxes come to

I just flew from the US to Europe; at each point where I had to get my picture taken, the machine had a label on it that clearly said they would delete my data after 24 hours. (Or after use, I don't remember the precise time frame.) We

While I feel that this is a little unfair on people with ADHD, it's definitely very true that it's a disorder heavily characterized by an inability to practice mindfulness. As such, it can be nearly impossible, especially from the

As someone with ADHD, but who hasn't kept super abreast of official developments in its diagnosis: My understanding is that while this may have been the case at one time, it is not now. I believe that there are something like nine symp

You really are absolutely determined to insist that this should not be a factor for anyone in deciding whether to get a Tesla, aren't you? To the best of my knowledge (and I would be willing to bet money on it), no one in the history

Given that, to make the analogy work, the Evil Water™ With Cyanide costs more than most other water, and both types are readily available...I rather think I would never have picked up the Evil Water™ With Cyanide in the first place.

Let me lay this out for you very clearly: There are a number of possible reasons that any car's doors might not work. Tesla, Ford, Toyota, doesn't matter. Those are just due to the laws of physics. No one is disputing that. Tesl

Of course it's an accident: it's primarily an accident of his birth. If he hadn't been born heir to the wealth of African colonizers' emerald mines, there's zero chance he would have ever become rich or famous.

That's also a reasonable argument—comes to the same thing in the end, though. DoorDash and Uber still keep their payments low while retaining their dominant positions in the market.

This is good advice. However, it doesn't work for families where both parents have to work 2-3 jobs just to keep food on the table and the heat on all winter. And no; poor families neither do nor should "just keep the kids fro

Sure, they "compete", but would you be surprised if they have some kind of under-the-table agreement to keep prices high and payments low...?

No; the way around this, as it always has been, is redistribution . I know it's considered a dirty word in many circles nowadays, but by far the most effective means we know of disincentivizing a singleminded focus on the accumulati

It contradicts the post it was replying to , which was saying, effectively, that people don't want to spend any money on stuff. I don't think it's required to be making some universal point when you clearly respond to the ar

No; they're supposed to tell Nvidia they can't hire those guys. This isn't about the people being hired; it's about the company that's trying to headhunt them. And, once again: robust, sane antitrust would never

I guess the question here has to be: is this actually a bug in Safari? Or is it a bug in Chrome, that people (whether that's your people or third parties) have just been working around in a way that doesn't work in Safari? And thi

Of course it has to do with antitrust. In an America with robust, sane antitrust, first of all, a company as big as Nvidia probably never exists in the first place. Second of all, if it does , an "acquihire" like this will have
