Agreed, but I think it’s going to be a mess in the next couple years when ford starts shipping the lightning. There are going to be way more trucks than chargers to handle them for long trips. Practically that doesn’t make a difference (and

I agree with your last point. I don’t own a truck because I can rent an 8 foot bed truck at uhaul for <$100 with little notice. It’s been fine. But range “anxiety” (concern?) has stopped me from buying an electric car so far (though the

Yeah - “affordability” in most people’s minds stops at the monthly payment. It isn’t whether they have $200K to invest in a house or invest in the market. It’s “I can afford a $200K house with the rates they are today. But if they go up, I

As soon as it is used in a negative way beyond CSAM scanning, it will cause people to sell their phones and stop using apple products. If Apple starts using the tech to scan for religious material, there will be significant market and legal

Random pictures aren’t going to be in the CSAM database and trigger review. And to have multiple CSAM hash matches on your phone is incredibly unlikely. An unsolicited email / having photos planted on your phone or equipment is a probl

It’s not just thinking of the victims when they are kids - if they aren’t killed after the material is made, then they have issues for the rest of their life with a real cost to society. We’re talking a life-long impact from being abused i

It’s not the state, it’s Apple. And they are making the decision that they do not want to put out a product that makes it easy for CP to be shared or viewed. As a huge player in the market this is great. This also limits the possible avenue

The process is described above, but it’s very hard to “innocently” end up with one of those images that they are looking for from the database. And the way it’s being done (hashes), a collision is highly unlikely. If it does occur it doesn’

I’d say it’s less about “time is money” and more about “I can afford 100 diapers with this week‘s pay check at 25 cents a diaper” and use my entire $25 budget if I go to Walmart, or “I can afford 25 diapers at 50 cents a piece and spend the

Governments grow in proportion to population (tax base), right? And you can give it away to someone with a promise that they give it back in the future or give you something that they produce, rather than going through philanthropy and hopi

Making money “In the end” (in this case) seems like a cash grab at the IPO. And the question is whether those “plenty of companies” were valued at 6.5 BN.

There are facts and there is the context of the facts and the impact those facts have on people. One can argue the news should just report the facts, but they add additional context and information to explain why the facts matter. Verifying

I view this as RAM vs HD space. Some people have amazing recall (HD). Some across many fields, others focused on one specialty. Others can process quickly and deal with a lot of inputs (RAM). Both are “smart” in different ways. Scary smart

Not yet (and hopefully never). If you do have kids, there may not be an immediate attachment and that’s ok too. I was attached but everyone is different. I did just realize the monthly price of day care is more than the price of a small pri

The book covered the theory well and introduced it in a way that was easy for less technical people to use. Excel was used and helped to visualize problems with two dimensions. I would recommend that text for anyone interested in getting in

This happened with my wife’s anesthesiologist during labor - the resident did his first epidural on her. I didn’t love it, but everyone has to learn at some point - and calling it out at the time could have caused more frustration, concern,

Both these posts make sense, but I’d be curious if this will slow the market for fake bags, making it more difficult to source a quality bag. Probably not - in reality, are people going to say “nice bag - let me see your NFT”. I’d think it
