Value is not competition in the market.

It’s even more exhausting having products and services I like handicapped by regulation because an entire developed continent is unable to produce any competition to contribute to the industry. What are you even doing over there? It’s like

You could create your own products and services that would naturally drive competition in the market which would benefit the entire world instead of relying on someone else to do the hard work just so you can whine about how it’s done. Euro

The difference is that the US is the market where these companies are born and develop their innovation so it makes sense for regulation to be passed as needed. The EU is nothing but a leech. It could focus on actually creating competition

By the time we'll find out it will be too late. I'm not interested in finding out.

What does that have to do with the fact that EU produces virtually nothing relative to its size and economy in terms of tech? They wouldn't have to be constantly passing these knee-capping regulations if they had a competitive industry

No, it doesn't. I extract more value from Apple's offerings than they extract from me in $$$.

If you don't like a company's offerings then buy something else.

Why do there need to be new customers? If you didn't like the product before, you can look elsewhere (or look within). Seems pretty messed up to ruin the experience for those who have been enjoying the products as is for years.

It will be worse for me, a long time customer, at the benefit of you, possibly not even a customer?

How many people do cops kill because they have guns and are trigger happy? If we remove their guns and their death rate goes up by less than the number of people they kill, that’s a net positive. Cop lives aren’t special. It should be a d

Police isn't even in the top 20 most dangerous jobs. Crossing guards get killed more per capita. Crossing guards.

Manhattan isn’t a city, it’s the most expensive borough of a city. They don’t need to live there.

We’re talking about the same thing. Someone that joined as a new grad 5 years ago would be a millionaire today. If they had been selling along the way, maybe even wealthier than if they had held on till this moment. You are severely underes

> If I'm wrong, I want a list of millionaires that Musk has created. I was with you until this. There are definitely many millionaires minted from their original equity grants several years ago that have gone up 1,000%+.

It's amazing how one comment can have so much wrong with it. Long running showers? Downright hilarious. It doesn't rain a drop here 9 months out of the year. When it does, it barely qualifies as a sprinkle. You could walk outside

It's not his job to reduce homelessness or slow climate change. Dedicate your energy to getting your elected representatives to do their jobs. They have orders of magnitude more money and power.

Cost of living in Pittsburgh may be 50% of San Francisco but that only matters if you’re spending every single cent you make. This is not the case on $200K. You are far better off in San Francisco. This is how “Californians” move to cheap c

This analogy doesn't hold up. A cheap new cure doesn't help those who struggled in the past but they can still cut me a fat check for the money I paid back and I will benefit from it all the same.

Using "sheeple" unironically says more about you than it does about them. There's nothing remarkable about being too socially stunted to be able to acknowledge groups beyond your own.

It's painfully obvious that a non trivial number of users here maintain little contact to ordinary people who make up 99% of the user base.

Why not? It's a free market. Compete on product, not obscurity.

Curious: have you ever worked elsewhere, particularly anywhere that is generally praised? It's possible that your experience has genuinely been wholly positive or it's possible that what you tolerate as a normal working environmen

It's both not okay and not a big deal. The fact that it's brought up so often is because there's so little you can pin on Musk to warrant your hatred for him. I bet you've done similarly shitty things.

Your complaint boils down to the equivalent of "why aren't safe speed limits on roads optimized around hypercars". Probably because the average car is close to a Toyota Camry. The number of people with high end PCs is a drop

Exactly, it was a scandal because data left Facebook's silos because in normal operations it does not.
