   My point is, a used model 3 or similar EV depreciates a lot faster than a civic hybrid, so a typical 3 year old off-lease buyer will find that both of those cars cost about the same amount of money. And sure electricity cost in California i

   I’m sorry but in what universe is writing operating systems “general purpose?” That’s about the most niche computing task I can think of.

   Specifically, I don’t like them because they show really vague percentages or “scores” where it’s very unclear what specific benchmarks are being used. The benchmark bars for things like single and multi-core performance don’t break down di

   Of course e-commerce doesn’t really need app-like features at all and works fine on the plain web.

   Something you have to understand is that the Aptera is bound to fail because it has two doors, two seats. That's why the Honda Insight failed. The car didn't look crazy, it looked like a Civic. It didn't sell because was a ti

   Here's the thing: in a market where almost all the new car buyers are affluent and can afford "wealthy country luxury," it's no wonder that small, economic penalty boxes like the Chevy Spark and Ford Fiesta get discontin

   I wouldn't say I'm defending Apple so much as I'm defending the idea that it might not just be making these technical decisions/iterations entirely based on the most cynical possible interpretation of the situation. For

   How many Regular Joe people are using progressive web apps in the first place? I think Android users also prefer apps over websites and PWAs anyway. I would guess that if I took a poll of all my real life not-technology friends that zero of

    Deciding to use a cloud provider or not has very little do to with the quality of the application and infrastructure architecture. You can make an app that scales beautifully on AWS or you can make one that chokes.

    My theory is people who don't have EVs have range anxiety. Sometimes it seems like people forget just how far 100+ miles is. Okay, sure, an EV with 230 miles of ideal range is really more like 150-180 miles given that you're not c

    macOS is explicitly designed to not be a server, and the consumer hardware it runs on is also designed that way. Apple even discontinued the Server tools that you could buy on the App Store that used to be called Mac OS X Server. If you wan

    I see a lot of reviews that say things like this but seem to be written by people who aren't testing against commonly available mini PCs that are built on efficiency architectures. How different is the efficiency of this compared to so

    I’m not sure what that has to do with this discussion, though. Someone who can’t afford a car at all and takes the bus isn’t affected by gas prices, and raising/lowering gas prices won’t help them afford a car significantly more easily

    Something to note here is that this isn’t a gas tax and this cost increase estimate is coming out of thin air.

    It's a very similar story, actually: as China industrialized, it has very similarly realized that curtailing air pollution is an extremely important issue with benefits that outweigh costs. It has continually tightened standards and it

    I think about this the other way around. The federal government and other states have artificially low gas taxes that are a direct subsidy of gasoline car dependence. A state like California imposing a tax like this makes them one of the fe
