A “calculated risk” doesn’t make it okay when the risk is all on the consumer losing their memories. This corporate view on business risk alone is unethical.

Indeed, it’s a shame since grass-fed tastes much better and is more environmentally friendly. Either way, we can’t just “eat what the cows eat” directly and there are a lot more variables to consider.

Pretty sure the parent comment was suggesting that. Hé even said “it’s what vegetarians do”.

Only works for extremely low density living (which is really only practical with the help of modern amenities). Doesn’t work that well for places like India.

You enter your PIN, or touch/Face ID. Also 1) only works up to a daily limit which you can configure 2) it’s a SEPA transfer, goes straight to another local, very traceable account and not a random bitcoin wallet in case you try to pul

100Gbps microwave links have been shown on land. If you take that as a theoretical limit, 12k satellites can give you 1200Tbps.

As an European I’d say over half of my mobile payments are already via a QR code (it triggers a direct debit from my bank app). It’s infinitely faster than going through online checkout forms.

You just discovered utopian communism, the end game - the solution is that the people “owning” the factories are the same who receive its output!

That’s the key. In Europe most dealerships are brand dealers. They sell and service one or two manufacturers at most, and have a brand to uphold. That is not the case in much of the world: dealers are independent, and sell whatever they w

Doesn’t the tax benefit apply to all EVs? Why would it benefit Tesla alone?

I would guess that having infected blood on you, and potentially smeared in your car and other places, is quite a lot worse than drenching it in alcohol even if not fully cleaned. Why not both?

You mean.. the 11” MacBook? It already is slim as a phone and has no fan.

That is the most naive comment I’ve read in years. More like they would block all network traffic that is not from apps, authenticated via one of the approved cloud providers.

There are only a handful of countries that restrict internet access: China, Lydia, Egypt, Myanmar, Russia, maybe a few others. All authoritarian regimes to some extent. > China did not ban US companies Blocking domains via a countrywide

It is pre-emptive since the danger of Chinese apps is still hypothetical (and cyber attacks are way more relevant to national security than consumer apps anyway).

The best ones have a turnaround of hours. I imagine it could get expensive quite quickly as the area to do that search would be absolutely massive.

The US is also a secretive, authoritarian government with an established disregard for human rights, as recent events have shown again.

I think you actually misunderstood my comment. You know what are also “applications to service specific domains that uses the web as a data source”? Web pages. Deliver the QML over the wire here and you just reinvented a kind of browser, th

Isn’t this simply replacing HTML with the QT XML markup and C++ code instead of JavaScript? What is the liberating part?

That’s not case anymore since streaming took over. Many artists are making bank on releasing every single track on its own and getting millions/billions of plays.

Parent was probably thinking of the whole shipping industry which is responsible for ~3% of global emissions.

Maybe the trick is to be your own boss, risk your own personal wealth, and not try “getting away” with stuff at your job.

They only got large funding from NASA after building fully production-ready rockets and demonstrating they could deliver. It took around $100m of private investment to get the first Falcon generation flying.

What makes you think the products he mentions were “hacker toys”? They were consumer products just the same.

They don’t hide anything. Cloudflare has always been aimed at protecting websites and applications, not file distribution. In fact I just went to their site and could not find a mention of file hosting or even “CDN” anywhere.
