You picked a strange company to make that point. GM sold 7k "plug in" cars in Q2 2022. That's compared with ~250k pure EV by Tesla. It's 1.2% of GM's total sales. Their overall sales are declining for the past 5 yea

Except BYD is not the "Big Boy". They sold 730k cars in 2021. While respectable, it's less that Tesla's 900k and clearly not in the VW / Toyota league. If anything, it's BYD and Tesla that are chasing the big b

Or maybe it's the high margin that is a good thing? When competition comes and both Tesla and BYD have to lower the prices, which one will be better off? The one with slightly lower margins? Or the one that is now unprofitable?

Your world view is contradictory. Is success mostly luck? Or is it mostly skill? You repeatedly state that it's mostly luck. A poker tournament. At the same time you believe some marketers are better than others and want to hire the go

Not sure what product you're referring to. To use a concrete example: Impossible Burger is not opposite of burger but 100% designed to be impossible to tell apart from a cow burger. So it's common sense to also call it a burger.

The thing they rewrote also worked great in production. And fuzzing originated in C / C++ tools and is available for them as well, probably more diverse and mature than what is available in Rust. The point you did ignore was: Rust is b

Safari / WebKit used to be the engine driving the web forward. Apple had no problem rushing things when they were at the brink of death and had to compete with IE and Mozilla by making a better browser. Only when they could kill the co

You do see the implication of what you say: Apple produces a vastly inferior browser and only gets to maintain market share via absolute, monopolistic control over their OS. You clearly believe that if they were forced to compete on equal t

Thanks, I'm proxying downloads via cloudflare (otherwise I would pay $500/mo bandwidth bill) and sometimes it breaks. I've cleared the cache and it seems to be working (at least for me).

Yes. Plus they'll launch more satellites, build more ground stations, improve the software and potentially also improve the antennas so that they can get more real bandwidth from the same available spectrum.
