10% is nowhere near a controlling stake, let alone "nationalization". And where is the example of a successful govt run business? USPS, TVA, Paris Metro... I know many are irrationally scared of the S and C words, but this ain&#

It's such a stunning dereliction the US let things get to this point. It's a side effect of systemically putting short term gains ahead of long term research. CHIPs act may be too little, it is certainly too late...

I'm sure Japan, and other countries doing similar things, don't like the tariffs either. Hopefully actions like this will change voter behavior, either at the polls or to embolden voters to do whatever it is they can to tell their

I like the design, but I had similar problems with the hardware. It sucks paying a premium for a poor product. I've had no issues with thee Kinesis DXT Mouse 3. They have a traditional vertical mouse too. Consider these when your curre

If we're talking about rich faang type companies, no, it's not about equal treatment. These companies can afford whatever hardware is requested. This is probably true of most companies. Where did this idea about spiting your fel

Maybe there are regs on appliances in Europe, or maybe the prices are high enough that the market demands efficient appliances (like gas/petrol). Whenever I stay in an airbnb in europe, whether it is a fancy place or a cheap apartment,

If the self check out is configured to trust you, it is faster. Each store seems to implement this differently. It's good that you shop at a store that lets you do this yourself. There's one grocery store near me where I have to w

Security theater. Intimidation. Calling the cops. Insurance requirements. Neither stores nor the guard want to escalate a situation to a violent situation. The stores don't want bad press or liability for collateral damage. The securit

As feature phones with mp3 support and especially smart phones became more popular, people were able to make their own music ringtones with music they downloaded from wherever. It's been an option in every phone I've used since li

If you have an email receipt, and you store email on your phone, it's probably accessable. I don't think you're missing out on anything though. Re: geek, AI has a lot of mainstream hype at the moment. I don't think there

Consider the popular cliche, "free as in beer vs free as in speech". The rights copyright gives you, briefly, includes: copy, distribute, adapt, display, and perform a creative work. What suggests there is piracy is going on?

I don't think that would be the reason, as mods regularly change headlines of otherwise fine discussion threads instead of killing them.

Any particular reason why? This interaction just happened on the "current Internet".

If one is truly worried about both, they don't have to eat beyond meat though. They can eat rice and beans. Eating rice and beans instead of both conventional and beyond meat is bad for beyond meat, too, I guess.

I don't think I follow. There's no recommendation engine in AA, right? Do you download a bunch of books from AA, read them, then if you happened to like one enough, you will buy it from a local bookstore?

They might be happy with $700 up front. However, I suspect they really want you to sign up for $200/yr and forget about it, even if you move to a place where you can't use the extra HP. They also want the opportunity to make money

The first amendment guarantees us this right, too. Attempting to curtail or vilify people with such speech is anti-American. Doubly so when the speech criticizing another country!

Price of a car is not a fixed thing. All prices are made up, including markups, so you can't say what you're specifically paying for or not. Also, companies commonly price things at a loss, often to entice you to buy some subscri

I was into sports cars more in the 90s, so my knowledge of this stuff today isn't great, but I mean it was at least true of most sports cars. Most famously the Nissan Skyline R34. The RB26DETT engine is known to have been under-tuned f
