Yes, and I find it sad. It's a personal opinion, I understand that. "panem et circenses" I guess. For context is a typical north american phenomenon and not common everywhere.

Rather funny that if you order by salaries, the top ones are by far the sports coach. That's the peak (or close to) of human existence I guess. While it's expected in capitalism, I find it sad that tax dollars go into those salar

1. I think Valve takes a cut of every marketplace sale, as well as the game publisher. More importantly they control the market completely so they surely can choose what share to take on every sale. They certainly don't need NFTs. Am I

Well, I understand that, but if you look at his account history it is only pro-Amazon comments. It feels like propaganda more than information, and all I am saying is that the throwaway does not add credibility or a feeling that his opinion

Hiding behind a throw away account does not help your point.

100% agree. They reap the benefits of the automation efficiency while not paying the costs of it. I think these companies should be considered directly responsible if they don't pay royalties to the rightful owners. This should include

Ok. I thought I'd give you a chance, but I think you are just trolling at this point or having a bad day. Yes, you can think whatever you want but I am not interested in listening to you . Have a nice day!

China banned your beloved grapes all together and I don't see you stopping trading with them. Any country is free to tax or ban any business as much as they see fit, in the best interest if their citizen that elected them. I really don

I understand now. Very niche, but I applaud the effort to give voice to people who have something to say, instead of those who know how to talk in public.

How do you know you are on (exist)? This is the equivalent for computers trying to become sentient.

Very insightful :). Now I need an AI to tell me when silence is deliberate or not. :)

How does real time makes sense in the first place for an algorithm that gets 1 minute of audio and gives you back 50s? You are gonna have to fill the gaps anyway with something not meaningful.

Yes. Thanks for the summary. Also the title pretty much says it all already if you are up to date with the supply chain crises. :)

Oh god... most euro countries have free or virtually free healthcare. Heavy regulated does not mean it's not free healthcare. It's also very easily accessible (although the level of service might be questionable at times especiall

I agree with you. I think it is perfectly healthy to criticize companies and even boycott their products if we don't share their values. This is what I referred to by "controlling the market". Unfortunately this has historica

This! I see so many people who seem to have forgotten that companies exist only to serve the people. When society is run to protect companies over the well being of the people, thay have lost their reason to exist in the first place. On the

Fair point but I envision more like: I sit in my kitchen table or a coffee shop with a small keybotd and mouse and I experience a multimonitor setup, always the same. Not something like: I am floating mid air on my skidive and I'll fix

A lot of things give blurriness in VR, with resolution being the easiest to solve by far. One example is that lens are supposed be perfectly aligned with eyes to see a sharp image, but that is a chore to maintain while moving your head and

I tend to agree but there is a chance that a normal keyboard and the camera pointing down at it will be enough to make you comfortable typing. I believe this is what they aim for, but it is yet to be proven effective.

I just read HN comments, but came too early this time it seems. I will need to start reading some of these articles and give back at somepoint....

I don't know. It does not feel impressive to me that the absolute leader in CPU for the past decades latest unreleased cpu beats what I can buy in a store today by a sliver on one benchmark (with all the doubts about power consumption)

A country is made of people AND legal entities. Legal entities in the US have a lot of impact in what the country does (for example it's legal for companies to pay politicians, which is illegal almost everywhere else). Believe it or no

Of course it does. It's just that in my experience living for extended periods in both US and Europe, consumer protection laws are a lot more advanced in Europe. It feels like business regulation in Europe is driven (mostly) by consume

Well, a lot of people seems to think it was to protect human rights. I guess this is when it gets confusing when the military leaders ignore the human rights of those kids raped in the US bases...

Remind me again, why did the US deployed military in Afghanistan in the first place? I read so much about it and I still have no clue.

Everyone worried about Apple, but Apple is company and follows the laws of the countries it operates in. If this is legal, or even more required by the goverment agencies: Apple will comply. And there is nothing wrong with it. If you don&#x

I understand your anti-trust point and I agree to some extent. But this is not something you can blame on Apple. You need to go to your politicians. You can't expect a company to self-regulate its dominance position. In general I belie

I don't have any and it's my opinion. It's more a general consideration and AppleID is just one specific instance. I would still be happy they tried even if something like AppleID would turn out to be a bad idea, provided eno
