The questionable brands like... Anker, DJI, TCL? I mean, at least let's give them credit where credit is due, they've improved in quality for the past couple of decades. Even BYD itself, a decade ago wasn't not even close to

A bit off-topic, but it's very cool how competitive this market is. It's only been barely a year and we're all expecting every company to do better within spans of months. Even compared to haydays of cloud hosting investments

I heavily doubt you can “fix the culture” in a short period of time, especially when it’s causing problems right here and right now. And frankly speaking, I don’t think society finds it acceptable, it’s just not that easy to prevent it unle

Right, that's mostly for making your data useless, but what I was thinking is like the opposite. Over-supply of real "valuable" data so its value and ad-tech that makes money on tracking becomes semi useless. I have no idea h

I wonder if there's any way to cause an oversupply of ad information and tracking so data itself would become useless? I'm not sure if I'm making sense, but was thinking in terms of supply and demand. If everyone's data

I actually sent this to my friend as he always thought I'm crazy for doing this. Mine one is a bit simpler though, just a big .txt file with TODO and DONE sections. Some of TODOs just have dates next to them if they're urgent, oth

You can't free-market your way in an industry that's heavily subsidized by other governments. Whatever local company you have will obviously lose to some other company that's getting the levies somewhere else to design a chea

Yeah, it is. Although last time I bragged about it, I've been told SF and Seattle (?) also have that. But I shall keep boasting about it non-stop.

I've lived my entire life in urban cities of different countries, and I don't think I can agree. My quality of life would be dropped significantly if I had to move to a suburban or less dense city. It's a game of priorities a

Oh, I do! Sometimes the place is loud and it doesn’t get heard. Nothing wrong that a server or someone else did, but having it available on my phone is just a big convenience thing for me. Other thing is, when the menu isn’t available, ther

Personally, I don’t care whether physical menu is available or not. But my smallest pet peeve is not having the online menu available, because sometimes they take the menu with them after placing the first bunch of orders, then I gotta ask

There’s an ongoing thread on Twitter where Sam takes suggestions from replies and shares the output. E.g. https://x.com/sama/status/1758200420344955288?s=46&t=VQo1eLU...

Extremely noticeable in my age groups (late 20s/early 30s). That being said, I’ve realized the best thing you can do is to live very close (10-15 minute walk) away from your friends. I basically have a date night with a friend at the s

It's really not just Amsterdam. Very obvious if you check out Rotterdam, Hague, Eindhoven, Utrecht and etc. Obviously richer sides will have better and more "things", but biking and taking trains is very convenient. The count

At the very least, the ability to bring down the public comm channels is pretty risky.

I agree with you about how we probably haven’t reached the point where the governments are supposed to worry, but I don’t think looking at a point in time in the past is right. Even though we have a long way to go for the decline to reach t

In North America / Europe, you’re correct. In Japan, China, South Korea, they’re losing population, everyone knows they’re losing population, but self-correction mechanisms aren’t working or not working fast enough. Japan been trying t

Care to elaborate? Obviously something “essential” is a subjective take other than the most basics like “food and shelter”. Walking or being able to take transit to my grocery store is a strict essential for me, but I am sure for people who

by kredd 3y ago
Your “non-essential” is someone else’s “essential”. Everyone has different needs and wants, and it’s just a useless flamewar. It’s the same as the discussion of whether the cities should stop subsidizing suburbs and other areas. Absolutely

I mean, it depends? Obviously Netflix has extremely different priorities than 99.99% of the software in the world. Scale of operations is much different as well. It’s available in most of the countries in the world, in a lot of varying devi

I guess, WhatsApp business just never caught up on our side of the world, but every time I’m outside of US/Canada, there will be some sort of business (like a restaurant) that will contact me through it. Assuming they’re making some pe

I just opened Facebook to see what I’d see on the app, and just a couple of scrolls gave me: Planet Fitness, Expedia and a bunch of airline ads. People will always complain how something doesn’t work, how they pulled out their ad money and

It’s going AFAIK, but had a bunch of mishaps and talent/labour shortage, so it’s going slower. I’m curious how big its output is going to be, compared to the one that’s supposed to start producing chips in 2024 in Japan. Just a bit dis

I mean, I used it about 30 mins/day before, now it’s like 10 or less. Personally haven’t felt the need to find a Twitter-replacement, you just do other stuff more, I guess? It’s like dropping a hobby. You don’t replace it with an exact

I’m sorry, but if you’re forced to stay at a place until you pay off your debt, how is that “not a debt prison”? You can call it “restitution center”, but… c’mon. They’re not being sent there because of their other crimes, but specifically

I did very quick Googling, and my memory was based on reading these two [1] [2], I'm not entirely sure how are these correlated to criminal activities. Obviously, it's all nuanced and depends on each state, but don't mind bei

I'm genuinely not kidding, as a non-American who has some family living in US, some of that just sounds absolutely bizarre. However I'm not that sure about its intricacies. But keep in mind, going to prison for having debt is also

by kredd 3y ago
It’s a bit more complex than that and has a bunch of edge cases. For example, in most of the states, there are prisons that are pay-to-stay, so prisoners basically go in debt while they’re incarcerated. This further troubles their debts, pu

I don’t ever recall being banned from anything anywhere. Although I’ve heard how some subs ban you if you’re part of some other specific sub, and that’s weird. That being said, I don’t get the logic of wanting to be part of a community that

I understand it’s a naive statement, but in order to log in into your email you would end up relying on some other sort of 2FA. And we’re back to square one to relying on SMS, because UX of other authentication flows has irrecoverable flaws
