You are correct that, just like in politics, you have to pick the best among problematic choices, which will often be Apple.

How does the shared memory model for GPUs on Apple Silicon factor into this? These are technically consumer grade and not very expensive, but they can offer a huge amount of memory since all the memory is shared between CPU and GPU, even a

“Batteries included” is an expression referring to technical dependencies and other matters and is not to be taken literally.

That's astonishing. And Amazon's stuff generally is often shitty and counterfeit, amazing to see it so popular. That doesn't bode well for local business. No wonder there is such wealth inequality in the country when one comp

Are you saying that 50% of American households subscribe to Amazon prime?

If those coffee beans weren’t grown in the United States, well then yes it is offensive to them.

In some European countries, for example, many of these protections are granted by physically living together, not by getting married.

Since the discussion is entirely about their motivation in buying Instagram, it’s certainly not moot at all. They wanted to have a monopoly and remove the competition. That was the motivation. The FTC investigation specifically had a condit

There must’ve been an attorney in that email thread who quickly reached out to him privately to make sure he added another sentence. That’s hilarious.

That opens up an entirely different discussion, which is why should health insurance be tied to a job? This is also uniquely American. Is your home insurance tied to your job? Is your car insurance tied to your job? Is your life insurance?

While I do get your point, marriage is so deeply ingrained into the legal and financial systems of the U.S. that I think many can't help but subconsciously attach these things that really should be independent. Marriage unlocks a wide

Just google all of the legal and financial benefits that you get in the United States when you get married.

I just did a search of all the different legal benefits, and financial benefits, you get in the United States if you’re married. It’s quite a vast list.

Married filing jointly, tax benefits. My sibling did it. Also, health insurance. Another thing Americans have yet to learn from Europe. In the states, sometimes you have to get married just to get health insurance. It’s kind of ridiculous.

That’s unfortunate. And it’s a uniquely American mindset. Long-term relationships in Europe for example do not require marriage in the same way that Americans do. People get married in the states because of the law, people get married in ot

I’m sure there are reasons why they’re not common to find here, and neither you or I are the first to consider importing them.

What a rather hyperbolic comment to make. It’s simply not true. Just like in the states you can buy avocados grown in Florida which are terrible, and Europe you can buy avocados that are not so great. But many of Europe’s avocado sources ar

Is interesting that here in Europe there are lots of avocados, none of them are from the United States or Mexico. Many of them are very good though, I’m particularly fond of those that are grown in South America, usually Chile or Peru. I wo
