The US has authority due to EUV LLC patents, not necessarily because of parts, parts can be sourced elsewhere if needed (both Europe and to some extent China can produce most or all of advanced machinery required).

It's also the premise of the show Soulmates. Another instance of "Don't Create the Torment Nexus" from the too tech-minded people.

I don't think you are not understanding design, big-name designers do have a design language but in this case it just feels like Ive re-applied whatever his design language for Apple in the early 2000s into a Ferrari car. Very little c

Voice is only good for languages which have broad support, and for native or almost-native sounding speakers. Anyone with an accent or speaking a language with broken support due to few speakers or just models not heavily trained on hates v

Delivery vans don't start fires on the 5th floor, introducing novel risks for the same result usually is not very well accepted by the public. But also, I won't ever understand the fixation of the USA about having things delivered

You live in the bubble where taxation is only to redistribute to wasteful means. In that bubble you get blinded by black-and-white thinking that can never achieve any kind of nuance to actually address issues, only seeing issues in it all i

Nope, I came commenting on your comment which given the pattern of your other comments getting flagged all the time shows to be an exhausting way to live: being mad at small things. You just proved my point.

What a weird worldview, celebrating censorship that aligns with corporate interests in healthcare , a basic necessity, while using the tired diatribe "but muh tax money!" to pathetically drum support for it, lol. Aren't you

It means that it doesn't generate any mechanical work, it's wasted as heat not captured for any other productive purpose (since waste heat can be useful in some contexts). It's a measure of efficiency.

> Its the reverse. Most businesses exist to serve consumer needs. The state comes in and tries to regulate because of possible externalities caused by the business. I agree, I should have phrased it as "big business" instead of

To be honest, I'm more aligned with you than with the left at the moment. I feel there's been a knee-jerk reaction from a wave of massive change coming and the efforts are being directed to the wrong place. For example: I don&#x27

Thought-terminating clichés are quite boring, and don't foster any discussion, I'd like to see more thought instead so curiosity could live and perhaps this comment thread could go somewhere where we both give into each other&#x27

Which is why I exactly pointed out that "finding the line" should be a iterative process, it's just natural the pendulum will swing for correcting past mistakes. I don't know why you assumed I'm stating as if findin

Why use the loaded term anti-business when very, very few on the "left" of the USA are actually anti-business-commies-socialise-everything? From my perspective at most there are attempts to curtail business practices untethered to

A supremely weak move, perhaps sama didn't learn anything from being on reddit and watching how online discourse doesn't ever favour the defensive ones. There was absolutely no need to come out publicly with such whiny remarks, it

Brazil is a prime example of what the lack of revolutions ousting old elites create in colonised countries. There was no revolution for independence which kept the same families of land owners in the elites through it, after there was no re

Cookie pop-ups are not part of the GDPR. Every time I read this point on Hacker News I got to point this out because it's an extremely common misconception. Read the GDPR, at least the outline, it's not there.

Moltbook is literally the Dead Internet Theory, I think it's neat to watch how these interactions go but it's not very far from "Don't Create the Torment Nexus".

Every new technology starts with adoption by the most affluent: cars, telephones, TVs, computers, internet, etc. With those being able to afford when economies of scale didn't kick into very high gear yet enables products to grow into

Just build trains at that point, I use my laptop for work all the time when riding for a few hours. It has its dedicated lane, can travel at 220km/h, and it's a much smoother ride than any pothole'd American road.

Isn't that an issue as well? It's always a bet on the next promised land which never arrives, the goalposts change but the stock never takes a hit from undelivered promises, it's bonkers.

It's actually bizarre how seemingly nothing impacts $TSLA: profits down 46%, revenue down 3%, cutting successful product lines that used to sell quite a bit, a massively failed product in the Cybertruck, FSD promises still unfulfilled,

Yup, that's my experience after 10+ years in Sweden. It's a double-edged sword in case its tenets are used to shut diverging opinions but overall, and again in my experience, I've seen it much more as a pervasive culture of l

I didn't state that, at all. The point was that the US touts itself as a free country while having many perverse incentives and mechanisms oppressing part of its citizenry. There's a veneer on top of it of individual freedoms comp
