The point came across to me as a pretty unproductive comment on the design of the website hosting the article rather than its contents, which is why I responded the way I did. Just like people who will complain about a news site with ads or

Cookie dialogs are the opposite, they are asking for consent up front. Before they existed websites would just put stuff on your computer without asking. They’re literally a consumer protection. Direct your outrage elsewhere.

Time to put up your receipts. What are you talking about with “bad range?” I’m not even talking about EVs directly. Two of the top 10 Edmunds tested EV range vehicles are made by Mercedes. The next 10 vehicles include 5 German brand cars. “

The part you’re almost touching on but not directly mentioning is the trading card and collectible marketplace. GameStop would probably be gone by now despite the meme stock if it wasn’t for trading card games and other similar collectibles

Total nonsense you’re spewing here. Especially for it being very country-biased in a world where giants like Volkswagen and BMW are highly international. https://www.bmwgroup.com/en/innovation/innovation-network&#x

I totally agree with you here but I decided not to get into this issue as well.

Here’s the other thing: taxi/rideshare driving can essentially function as a jobs program. It’s a basic job anyone can do without significant training. From a government planning perspective, you can’t just assume that all your displac

Basically what you’re saying is that if AI does anything on your computer, anything the AI impacts you should lose control over. If the AI touched it at all in any way, big or small, you now lose ownership of the actions your computer takes

Not doing business with a 3 letter domain is insane. You’d probably make $10k a month just parking ads on ask.com. You’re absolutely right: toss up an AI chat with some ads in a sidebar using an open source model and call it a day.

I don’t agree, it seems pretty normal. I also don’t really like policing writing style when there aren’t any glaring errors.

Agriculture feeds people, including people outside of California (California being a huge agricultural exporter to all the other states: find me a grocery store that doesn’t have California agricultural products on the shelves and I’ll Venm

It only “makes sense” if you believe this concept also “makes sense.” Nobody asked for a phone with fake buttons and a fragile wrap around screen. Nobody asked for the UI to drastically change at random. I wish smartphone companies would tr

Being short on chips means you can raise prices. Making chips on an uncompetitive lithographic process means your chips are worth less.

Fun fact: selling iPhones and my TV+ subscription I forgot to cancel and don’t even use is a lot more profitable than selling $2 of compute time for $1 (with 0-6 months of moat).

Apple almost certainly has entire production lines at TSMC that they effectively own. I don’t really think bringing chip fabrication in-house has any immediate benefit for them. We can observe with Apple’s pricing staying stable that they h

“They need their own fabs” is a very current events-biased read of the situation. You can easily end up like AMD or Intel spending years with your own fab that’s uncompetitive. One of the best things that ever happened to AMD was spinning o

It has definitely happened in the past, but in practice it’s a very small percentage of titles that are fully removed from your account beyond delisting. It’s a risk many people may be willing to take especially with low value purchases. Th

This is absolutely how it’s going work. AI loses way too much money to not be enshittified. It’s a way less transformational technology when put in context of the real price tag.

I know it’s not really full ownership in the same way but I’d also remind folks that digital movie purchases still exist and are often a very good value. My library is full of movies that cost me $5 or less. One example is Lawrence of Arabi

Both options exist and both are heavily utilized. Having multiple options helps alleviate congestion issues.

You absolutely can just get rid of 93 within city limits , especially if 30 billion was spent on adding more commuter rail. The idea that highways must cut through the city, especially one as geographically small as Boston, has been thorou

This claim that train infrastructure construction will negate the carbon savings of train travel is just a factually untrue argument. You also can’t power planes with renewables like solar.

Not faster by enough to matter, a difference of 1 hour that airport security, taxi, boarding, and takeoff/landing easily eats up. You also can't be productive on a flight packed in like sardines and being required to put away your

While I think the project should cost less money, thinking purely in terms of money is a slippery slope. The $20 I spend on feeding myself a healthy dinner could buy 10 sundaes at McDonald's, that doesn't mean I should eat 10 su

The Big Dig in Boston cost almost $30 billion in inflation-adjusted money and had nowhere near the impact on the region as a high speed rail system would have in California. It basically had zero impact outside of the City of Boston. (And i

Right...employees who are almost certainly paid a whole lot more than I am doing the same job. Many of those employees actually had stock options that exited at unicorn valuation. Must be nice.

The author of this blog post essentially never reported the exploit to the Forgejo maintainers. They merely submitted a security-related PR. The maintainers aren't mind readers. They have never been directly informed that a proven expl

It would definitely be a bit silly for the author to make a fake carrot disclosure, but I thought of it just because of how reading this article made me feel distrust toward the author. IDK, they just seem like kind of a jerk! Now, I don&#x
