No one claimed Apple stopped making computers, so you're attacking a straw man here. All that was pointed out is that there is no Apple Computer (note the capitalization) company anymore, as it was renamed to Apple Inc. in 2007.

Thank you. This mirrors my experience to a T. It's always those same empty sets of phrases "Just imagine all those possibilities." "It may not be there yet, but the smartest minds are working together on it." "

Thanks for the link. I'm a bit skeptical of that number ($700B). Intuitively, it's just a very large amount of money to hide without anyone noticing. It should be relatively easy to track down most of it. However, after searching

I think this is exactly what the parent commenter meant. You'll be able to retire comfortably after your most productive years, but you most likely won't be financially independent within 5 years and have the means to focus on bui

Genuinely curious: Do you have any more background on this? Who are these rich people that are not listed in Forbes?

I'm seriously confused by the backlash to the Voltswagen stunt. The first thing I thought when I read the headline was that this was obviously an early April fool's day joke. Perhaps people are just upset that they didn't get

Recently I asked myself that same question and came up with a satisfying theory. Part of Tesla's business model is selling $10k FSD packages based on a promise that they will eventually deliver full self-driving. If, at any point in th

I beg to differ. It seems pretty clear whether they will.

More than ten years after ACC and lane keep assist were first broadly introduced, Tesla took those two technologies and rebranded them as Autopilot, conveniently removing the safety feature requiring drivers to keep their hands on the wheel

At least in Bavaria, it's perfectly acceptable to have a beer mixed with lemonade ("Radler") during lunch.

I find it fair and agree with it. General case: I receive an unexpected wire transfer from someone I wouldn't expect to pay me. It would be unreasonable for me to expect that the money is fairly mine. Exception: I loan out money to som

Let me preface this by saying that I'm European and that I'd like the EU to be successful (and consequently, for Brexit to have been a mistake). That said, a lot of the reporting on how Brexit is so obviously a bad economic deci

I strongly believe that if Trump or one of his surrogates had tried to bribe electors into certifying him as a winner in 2020, it would have been rightly called an attempted coup and not a legitimate use of the electoral system.

The correct analogy would be "you can ask me for $5 as often as you want, I will give it to you for free, and you can keep it for life" and then 5 years down the road they say "starting 7 months from now, I'll stop givin

It's not that a citizen sells their citizenship to a non-citizen and therefore becomes a non-citizen. It's the country selling citizenships, meaning each sale results in one more citizen.

This is a really insightful take that I feel most other commenters miss. The intuitive metric of views is not what is good for Netflix's bottom line, quite the opposite. The best customer for Netflix is the one who stays subscribed but

While the physician salaries in the U.S. are indeed much higher than in Germany, I believe the time to become a fully accredited doctor is roughly the same. In the U.S. it's 8 years of school plus a 3- to 7-year residency program, vers
