There are downsides to police and prosecutors abdicating their responsibilities. Urban flight and then eventually urban decay and despair. We will see what happens to dense liberal urban cities in America over the next 7-15 years. The trend

So you’re saying you want a… oracle? Perhaps a human one? For this decentralized peer to peer future of finance with no overlords? Come now. Surely you jest.

If your argument relies on classifying the elderly and virtually every corporate employee as technical users perhaps you should rethink your argument.

That headline number is garbage. It’s 550,000 people at any given time.

Oh please. Every business I’ve ever worked for has enforced MFA for corporate access. You’re acting as if “non technical users” are illiterate subhuman morons. Even my 90 year old grandparents trivially figured it out on their own.

I have. The Kia EV6 has perhaps the most unintuitive capacitive UX in vehicle history. Linus took it for a test drive and legitimately could not figure out how to turn down the AC temperature. Maybe the EV7 won’t be such an abomination. Can

Hard disagree. It’s definitely area dependent but in New York for me it’s a 8-12 year ROI depending on fuel prices and energy prices. This is me comparing a CRV and a Model Y. If I swap out my energy savings and charge exclusively not at ho

You already bought the spyware piece of trash. It’s too late for this product to not be exactly what you bought.

They all deserve some scrutiny to determine their legality, yes.

Charging anywhere but home absolutely ruins EV economics. It’s almost impossible to make an economic argument to buy an EV in 2022, but it’s outright impossible to make that argument without fuel savings.

Fair point with regard to Oracle, but I’m not sure it’s reasonable to compare an enterprise B2B software company with a consumer business such as Meta. I’d additionally argue that Meta is functionally coasting by way of flailing about on us

Bundling is anticompetitive and illegal. The MS ecosystem deserves close antitrust scrutiny.

Musk and his team put together a fundraising deck and were actively looking for investors. It was never vanity for Musk. The deck was pretty clear about what Musk thought Twitter could become.

It’s not that hard. Dorsey was off being a Bitcoin evangelist and running Square (now Block) instead of focusing on Twitter. He’s a narcissist and egomaniac so of course his attitude is that this happened to him rather than the reality of t

Facebook (Meta) cannot innovate. Their growth since inception is almost exclusively through acquisitions. Instagram, WhatsApp, and Oculus. The core Facebook product is arguably worse today than it was 15 years ago. Meta's response

Eventually, sure. I can’t speak to the UK, but in New York a foreclosure takes at least 8-15 months. You must first fall significantly behind on your payments, then a 90 day intent to foreclose notice, and then the actual foreclosure proces

Just cap the electricity output and let consumers decide for themselves to what to turn on. Turning on too much will flip the breaker. They’ll figure it out for themselves.

It’s barely usable, for starters. Desperately trying to coerce me into downloading some mobile app. Riddled with ads and UI/UX anti-patterns. It looks more like a spyware site or a scam site than the modern “front page of the internet”

The problem is the Tolkien estate. Amazon cannot depict something in the appendices unless it was exhaustively depicted. They cannot accidentally get bits of backstory correct.

They have access to: Fellowship of the ring, the two towers, return of the king, appendices, and the hobbit. They cannot even accidentally make a Tolkien-accurate story in the universe unless it’s directly depicted in one of the sources I l

That's fine. With caps on public university tuition and fees poor students would be able to attend any public school they wanted. There is no need to even consider whether private schools are affordable. The public should not direct

I couldn't find data more recent than 2017, but as of 2017 fewer than 4% of utility customers were using time of use billing.
