You don't need to talk to them, it's perfect fine if you learn from them.

BMW makes a lot of EVs: https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/global/article/detail/T045485... Almost half a million sold in 2025 (out of 2.5 million).

I'm actually not an Apple user but I've seen them do their thing for close to 30 years now. Apple is notoriously a control freak. They want to control the hardware, they way to control the software, they want to control the servic

You must be new to the Apple world. Unless Apple starts failing again as a company (bad financials), they won't provide any official support for Windows or Linux.

If I'm off for the second group I'm probably also off for the first one. I'd be surprised if a purely privacy focused phone sells more than 200k units per year.

How many is many? Fairly sure hardware development is very hard and expensive. Are we talking about 1 million people worldwide (peanuts, will probably not recover the investment) or 50 million worldwide (might be worth it)?

I doubt most people buy a motor and batteries and install them. I'm willing to bet 99% of accidents happen on cheap Chinese built ebikes.

Indian ISP had Meta paying them to have their apps included in the unmetered list... Far from absurd, reality.

Plenty of people will ride two wheelers if the infrastructure is good. Most places in the world just have crap infrastructure for using bicycles safely and calmly.

Why is it even legal to import illegal bikes into a country? Shut this thing at the source, make Amazon & co liable for ebikes that don't respect national legislation. The entire problem disappears in 6 months.

They're talking about riding a regular bike at 25mph. Most people can't sustain that.

Beauty is symmetry and most people are not fully symmetrical so averaging them bring symmetry. Wisdom of the crowds is a thing, so who knows, maybe intelligence is the same way.

For a second, while the hook was sinking in the fish's lip. Now Uber is being "democratized" to billions in profits.

People are morally gray as proven by history. And simple logic says that morally gray can't be as bad as morally dark, but hey, whatever floats your righteousness boat...

> If anything, I have less respect for people who support fascism for money than I do for people who actually believe in it. Silly logic. The first are average humans, the second are evil.

IDEs, graphical debuggers, etc. It's extremely weird that 40 years after TurboPascal, 30 years after Delphi and VBA, we've only regressed in terms of truly integrated development environments. Heck, even programming languages have

Most companies aren't that. Twitter is basically yellow journalism owned by a robber barron, just like in the 1880s.

Bingo. Yes. The trick, as usual, is timing the pop.

Initially, yes. But I'm betting on their shortsightedness, greed and general stupidity which will cause a crash. Leading to oversupply/huge leftover stocks.

Maybe an upside? These past years it feels like meaningful hardware spec bumps are on the horizon, like in the 90s, 2010s. After all this churn subsides there is a chance entry level Windows laptops will start at 32GB RAM and maybe 8-12GB V

IBM was a special case, I'm not sure there were many markets so thoroughly cornered like IT was for about 3 decades. I guess telephone (AT&T) was similar.
