Title is a little bit click-baity. Its $30 if you want a year of extra security patches, but if you just do nothing then they don't force you onto Windows 11 and they don't magically take $30 out of your account.

Paypal did very well, no? Solar City wasn't a homerun like spacex, but I wouldn't call it a failure. America PAC is not something I agree with, but again, not clear what your point about it is? We can agree that he is an asshole a

Because it's one shot, must work stuff. They don't build this type of equipment often (really ever) because it's all bespoke to this mission. That means they need to build, verify, test, etc and it all has to work first time

This is a pretty fundamentally flawed view. What about life or health insurance? Life insurance high, then what, stop living? Health insurance high, so stop getting sick? Obviously the finances work such that net-net the insurance companies

Can't tell if your being sarcastic or not. Now your hashes are just the passwords. Your server can't unhash them, so anyone intercepting your traffic effectively has the password.

This is a very naive way of thinking about debt. Cash has a time value. Cash now is worth more than cash later. I have a mortgage. This mortgage is worth more than the cash I own. That doesn't mean I'm bankrupt. The mortgage is pa

My understanding of the advantages is that the 3.5mm Jack is "big" in terms of space taken on the internal of the phone, and that real estate is valuable. Also it was becoming a bottleneck for phone thickness. Don't know if t

The difference is that the fire department is only used for emergencies. If you call the fire department to help you get downtown you are probably getting a bill.

That sounds low... Really low. E.g. NYC has ~350k employees and I know they got hit hard. Not all of them have windows machines, but let's say 100k do. I know they basically all have falcon installed. That's 100k in just one org,

To get free _airplane_ pretzels you need to first be on an airplane, which means you need to buy an airplane ticket, which costs hundreds. Similar with free beer. You need to do _something_ to get the free beer. It will probably cost less t

The queue here seems to work poorly. Looked at the site and I was 162. Looked away and back for literally 2 seconds, I was 164. alt tab and back again, I was 176. Again and I was 188/188. Now I'm 140. What?

Ford also has a Germany factory. Probably most big auto manufacturers do. Foreign cars are big in Germany (I think I read 40%), as they are in basically every country. Of course other factories should still count, why wouldn't they? Yo
