Doesn't take much equipment to steal it, though. And column shifters still exist- hell, even the Tesla Model 3 has one- so any gen z kid who knows how a manual transmission works can shift it into gear.

Wouldn't be too difficult. Poincaré/Lorentz/Hilbert were close to developing the same concepts behind special relativity around 1905 as well. If Einstein randomly died in 1904, I think relativity would have been discovered wi

On the other hand, how bad is congestion in practice anyways? Sure it's congested, but rarely to the point where it's unusable. I don't think we need to clear out all of the spectrum from 100khz to 100ghz. If we doubled unlic

I don't know if you were around in ~2005 ish, but for the longest time Apple backed Firewire 400/800 over USB2.0, because it was faster. Apple supported USB, of course, but it was clear that Firewire was the connector of choice.

Apple isn't usually the first mover, though. It's not like the Mac was the first desktop computer, or the iPhone was the first smartphone, or the Apple Watch was the first smartwatch. Apple usually ends up with their market positi

He negotiated the $0, that sounds like his problem. If any regular person negotiated an underpaid salary at their job the past 5 years, and then demanded to be paid extra, that would get laughed out of the room.
