I’m not trolling, I’m discussing features of automobiles. I follow the automotive industry and have interest in the subject.

Well I didn’t exactly make some kind of claim of “no grievance ever,” I’m just saying that it’s not that hard to find countries that have good relationships with the US, China, and EU all at once. Example: most member states within the RCEP

Their website now prominently states “supervised” since they got into so much hot water overselling the capabilities. Tesla FSD is really in a pointless middle ground where the steep $99/month they ask for it is just not worth it. It d

Well, that's what I mean, this guy is using this issue as an scapegoat to close source the software and increase revenues as a result. The pipeline goes like this: Use open source license to gain traction and credibility > establish

First we blamed AI for layoffs, next we are blaming AI for the AI bait and switch. It's entirely possible this CEO sincerely believes this, but that means you as a potential customer should stay away: now you know that the CEO of this

At some point the user is responsible for verifying their backups, right? You can’t just buy a product, login, and close your eyes. I’ve witnessed my parents’ Time Machine backups (the simplest backup system of all time) sitting stale becau

I think we can’t overestimate how lucky Apple got with the success of the iPhone. It really wasn’t a guaranteed hit by any means, and despite the success of the iPod it was launched by a much more modest company than today’s Apple. Samsung

It’s not hidden it’s right there in the exclusions list.

With my respect for you as a person, I think your idea here is demonstrating both ignorance and cynicism to the way the law works. This type of interpretation of law is by design. When lawmakers write a law, it’s specifically the judicial b

Ultimately the author is ranting about something that is likely an unintended bug where some update along the line reset the default exclusions list. It almost seems like they’re taking it personally as some kind of intentionally slight aga

I think this is a lot of fluff supported by a weak anecdote. Chris' company's assumptions are no longer true, but that doesn't apply to everyone's startup. This is mostly a Chris problem. No, not every product can just b

Revenue != Profit Operating margin has been declining since approximately 3/2025 at Alphabet. You think Google has no ability to tell us whether a traditional search makes more revenue than an AI Summary search? I think we would be nai

Is there any evidence of any company making money in inference?

And if AI was making lots of money they’d break it out and proudly display it in their financials on its own.

It’s even more superpowered than previous implementations of this strategy. When they made the iPhone, iPod, and Apple Watch they had no specific hardware advantage over competitors. Especially with early iPhone and iPod: no moat at all, ma

The proportion gets a lot easier to deal with as the price goes up. Is it easier to convince one person to pay $100 or 100 people to pay $1?
318.
by dangus 6mo ago
I think businesses like this should rarely listen to customers asking for cheaper prices. If your price is higher that’s fewer people you need to convince to pay. Fewer customers also means lower support burden. Obviously it’s a balance, bu

They’re not insane. It costs $99 a year just to be able to write Mac apps at all. Any sort of buy-once app on macOS is unsustainable to the developer. They are paying Apple $99 a year forever. If you want cheap/free apps get off of App

To me it seems like small businesses like this get squeezed by these demands to make everything cheaper while the big corporations ignore it and stick to their pricing. I’m not sure OP should have capitulated. Someone who loves this tool wi

Aside from the comments on the rest of this thread, I’ll point out this unique point: If this game’s content is objectionable, where was Google 5 months ago when it was released? Are they admitting that they don’t review apps that are submi

I’m all for a system that allows you to wipe the device to do a downgrade or upgrade (just like any PC with an unset bios password allows) but the idea that it’s a good design for someone without my OS password to be able to downgrade my OS

I would actually love to work for someone with that much honesty. I will just go ahead and rewrite the post because it seems like my message isn’t landing. Maybe seeing what it could have looked like would be helpful: Cirrus has been acquir

So they have even less of a reason to put out BS like this. They have no employees they need to talk to. Could have been a private email to customers.

This idea makes sense conceptually, but in reality as we observe it, the companies that make low volume luxury products are often the most profitable carmakers in the industry. BMW is the 2nd most profitable car company in the world and sel

Why is telling it like it is not the rational default? If this is a forgettable press release isn't it lower effort than coming up with this type of nonsense?

by dangus 6mo ago
Sure, but I imagine the terms of the acquisition doesn’t say you have to write it in this specific style. I’m sure there’s a way to say the same thing without coming across as a bullshitter.

I just love how companies like this gaslight the whole world with announcements like this. We started a company to make a big difference in the world and build an engineer’s dream company, and that’s why we have now decided to do the exa

I’m pretty sure if someone sexually assaulted my child or murdered them I’d be more than morally justified to get a few or a lot of punches in. Some people are treated a whole lot better than others in prison.
