This is a common misconception that keeps getting repeated for some reason. It's silly to exclude the regulatory credit income but then also count things like stock based compensation and capitol expenditures for new factory builds. Te

We don't have fully automated planes because they're already safe enough and the economics aren't there. The probability of crashing with a plane is extremely low, even factoring in the higher risk of takeoffs and landings. T

I'm not so sure it's so hardcore. The standard laptop that new engineers at LinkedIn get is the 16in Macbook Pro with Core i9 and 32 GB of RAM. I'm sure we're not the only ones issuing this spec, and it's not even t

NASA's budget isn't the reason they don't pay more. They're just not allowed to because of federal pay scales. People generally don't like the idea of their tax money funding cushy salaries. If you look at the defen

For someone who is using Photoshop as a professional, $999 really is not far off from entry-level. People easily spend $2500+ on computers for professional work that requires high performance. Sure you can use a $350 Dell Inspiron for Photo

The XPS 13 is also limited to 16 GB of RAM, and it's actually more expensive than a M1 Macbook Air, so I'm not sure why you're using that as a comparison. Even if you bump the Air to 16gb of RAM and 512GB SSD it's stil

They're similar, but it is not "basically the a14". This is like saying that an Intel Core i9 is basically the same as a Core i5. Sure it has a lot of similarities, but they have very different thermal and performance charact

This has happened to multiple times in a meets call. But at least part of the reason is because Zoom, Bluejeans, and Teams have a more sensible layout with mic mute and video mute next to each other. So I expect that right of mic mute will

The difference is the access to information. In China the media you have access to is state-controlled so they control the narrative exactly how they want. You have very limited access to external news sources and media in general[1]. In th

Reddit's approach to dealing with this is to ban the sub-reddit unless the sub-reddit sufficiently moderates itself. WSB moderators working so hard is what is preventing WSB from being banned.

It's not even just per country. If you fly to certain airports in certain states they have different rules that affect what the Uber app can do. Do they maintain a separate app for Washington and for New York? It gets pretty messy pret

It's interesting that they phrased it like that. If they were confident about this, they would easily be able to prove this in court and it would be a very simple case of copyright infringement right?

In what way could AWS possibly be a monopoly? They definitely don't have a monopoly on retail sales. They don't have a monopoly on cloud either. Now are they competitive? Maybe, but that's not the same thing as being a monopo

Take away section 230 and now companies can be sued for what they're hosting, and so they will more aggressively start banning people. Also you can't realistically remove section 230, the risk is too high. Say a rogue user uploads

The terms of the contract likely are just that AWS will give them their money back. Pretty much all contracts have some sort of clause to allow you to break it with some penalty.
