I mean, you still need to convince people to buy the cars to get any profit, so I'm not sure what your point is. >If you’re Google and you can only find N top notch software engineers, do you want to put any of them on marginally

How does that make sense? On paper they just lose the revenue of the Fit without gaining any new revenue elsewhere. That’s just a loss. It takes some magical thinking to argue that these lost customers will move over to the more popular mod

There is no such thing as “real security”, only varying degrees of protection from a specific threat model. You’ve clearly gained a lot of confidence thinking about this specific threat model while neglecting a more general and useful way t

Why would nvidia stop drivers when throwing an nvidia card into an egpu is a quick way of turning your mac into a small ai workstation? Edit: honestly I have no clue why I am downvoted: I really would appreciate an answer here.

How is a qualitative evaluation of software disrespectful to the authors?

Sure, trust in entities is fleeting, but they aren’t giving at better way to trust (as you are are not). I’m not sure what the point of pretending to be ignorant about encryption is supposed to do.

It’s times like these I turn to “Whitey On The Moon” by Gil Scott-Heron.

Well, it's a lot more like tripping and falling on your face than being Lebron James in this case.

Any you would recommend? All the sales I’ve seen are based around gimmicky touchscreen and phone app controls that are likely to leave service long before the rest of the fridge does.

Choose the non-teleolgical version: what changes did the fungus or cicada mutate that allowed this integration of lifecycles?

You realize a concentration camp implies concentrating people’s physical bodies into a contained space, right? There are many examples, including right here in the US (border camps, Guantanamo). Being subject to a corporation’s whims is not

The 13” was a great laptop too. The 12” I have has a single usb-c port and a headphone port, which I suspect is a big reason it didn’t take off. It’s soooo light though, I still love it. Finally, I think the risks here are far more clear th

Yea, not in a way that requires specialized hardware though. Edits on the phone are already virtually instantaneous.

A) the first device of any product line is not the one to watch for consumer reactions. It's for developers and early adopters. I would not expect this to be a commercial success. B) the 12 inch macbook is probably my favorite device,

A counterfeit is meaningless in a free market—intellectual property is an unnecessary constraint on the market to incentivize production of goods. A brand is just a label, immaterial to the quality of the received commodity. The term I woul

Err, is “industry” of all things what society is supposed to optimize for? That just seems like a shitty conception of both the point of industry and governance itself. In any case if you think commodities industries are working healthily I

ARM makes GPUs? I’m holding a reference copy of aarch64 in my hands and I’ve written half an assembler from it. Granted SoCs often are just as bad as nvidia, but that’s not ARM’s fault or problem, really.

Hell, I've been asking this for years for my development machine, especially running a bunch of heavy apps (like slack) through the browser.

That seems a sane response to obvious, impending doom, tbh. Panicking doesn't seem like it would help much, either. In any case that seems like a separate emotion than "happy"... "traumatized" seems more like it.

That's not true if you consider the world around you and your interactions with it to be part of your "state".
