I really don’t want this in my phone unless I choose to have it, and right now I’m pretty upset that Siri can’t be fully disabled in one switch, but I’ll really be much more upset if I have to have ‘Open’AI forced into my life. I truly don’

I don’t get the practical difference, sorry. I’m happy to learn but it seems like six vs half dozen to me. Either way you’re subsidizing the car pipeline. I feel like China is up and coming and the west is scared and performing knee jerk re

Aren’t electric cars in America subsidized by at least a 7500 dollar tax credit and probably not from the local or state gov? Wouldn’t it be better if we let them compete and then also subsidized cheaper EVs In the USA rather than the high

Maybe become an English teacher then, instead of ranting and raving in public. Go get a job as an editor at a paper and raise the standards. Do something like that, rather than get into other people's business. People act like this abo

Have you ever researched the difference between the companies, the workers, how satisfied they are, how much they are paid, and why it was a quarter cheaper? You keep saying how the union affected you for your two projects, and how the unio

You're saying "the market" like it's some magic word that makes everything fair. The market for employment is not fair. Companies hold most of the power in America today, for most jobs. Highly paid white collar workers m

"it's" just means "it is" for everything else, there's "its" I believe that will get you out of 99% of the "it's vs its" problems you find in day to day life. Bonus: If you're almo

It would be if one man did all those things. In reality, tens of thousands of men and women participated in the creation and running of those companies. Musk did at best a fraction of a percent of the work.

Nah, everyone still loves the game and the studio, so I think it'll be okay. In the future, though, they will be less likely to buy a Sony published game. It was all Sony with this decision, and the studio was publicly upset and in som

Equal power is if you had any control over the covenant. In most cases, it’s a take it or leave it situation. That’s not equal power, that’s a complete lack of it. I personally don’t see how a covenant on a property is anything other than t

I think we probably agree mostly. I’m also talking about design. I prefer a less constrained design system for a city, I think it gives life. Trying to control every bit of the look of a place makes it boring and conservative, IMO. In the

The problem is that the model we’re using now is locked in the world’s most secure HSM and you can’t use several copies at once.

When I see a city with organic development, I feel cozier than with the cities that all look the same and were built all the same. I think the American idea of “unity” in these matters is a bit insane and very exclusionary.

Check out Japan zoning laws, pal. I’m not some rugged individual, but I still believe in reasonable freedoms. Japan doesn’t have issues with nuisances with their zoning system. Far from it.

Why do you want to limit people’s property rights for looks? Why does a row of buildings need to be exactly aligned? This type of thing and HOAs are a bane upon property owners. I’m glad I don’t have an HOA, and I’ll never understand the pu

I don’t get why people would pay for a bright orange box, or a snazzy little pin, when you can do the exact same thing with a phone app. Siri and Google’s offering on Android phones will eliminate this market when they start in on this stuf

The only reason I got over it was I worked at a medical device assembly factory and saw firsthand how amazing it was that hundreds of people worked together to design test and build life saving devices. I stopped caring about the blood and

I write software systems to control devices in buildings in the context of energy savings, like hvac and charging cars, and also control attached distributed energy resources, like batteries or solar.

I guess in the energy tech industry no one pays that because I’ve been looking, and I have pretty specialized skills.

I’ll buy that 400-500k a year is average for Facebook, Apple, Google, etc. It’s absolutely NOT average for companies who aren’t the massive giants that those are. I’ve been in actual tech startups, not Uber for Clowns, and the best salary I

I think that the uproar about license changes are less about actual license impact and more about the impact to the community and social framework that Redis has fostered as a project previously. People are switching because at this point t
