They have such a large volume of sales that they would be able to very accurately estimate the number of parts they need in order to fulfill their warranty obligations and paid repairs. Their inventory of old parts would presumably be earma

That they are not producing old parts is not in itself an indication of bad faith. Manufacturing more after having stopped would be prohibitively expensive. We have to wait until they fail to create enough spares for the current models to s

There certainly is a role to be played by federated open-protocol communication in the future, but why limit your app to being a mere Twitter-clone? It will then always be worse than Twitter in terms of the quality of its network.

He never said he was against banning, and none of that has anything to do with whether Twitter is a "de-facto public square". Most "gotcha" comments I have seen are relying on a straw man definition of "free speech&

Status quo moderation also ignores spam, and I'd expect that aspect to change in the direction of more moderation under Musk. "0 moderation" was never on the table.

This may seem like a wild take, but perhaps it's worth entertaining that social media moderation as it exists today could be a significant impediment to the realization of those goals.

Just based on the graph just under the "The Dunning-Kruger Effect" section, one observation I'd like to present is that the subjects's numerical self-assessments fall into the same range as passing but non-stellar grades

Call it what you will, but the point is it would be easy for them to do.

Considering how stringent their review process is wrt ensuring app behavior doesn't impinge on their own interests, perhaps it is time to hold Apple liable for nevertheless permitting behavior which harms the end user.

Some scammers who appear in Musk's replies impersonating him use similar or identical avatars and screen names in order to perpetrate their fraud. Removing and preventing the creation of this type of account would not even require &quo

What's so special about the Ron Gilbert imprimatur? I think the first two games were good, but considering them as "auteur" works is wrong, since so much of what went into them comes from the contributions of many people (the

I have no idea why there is so much derision for CoMI on various forums, it was a good game, and the objections to it are never spelled out. Keeping my expectations in check for this new one, too-- why are we assuming it will necessarily be

To be fair, "the point" is not clear. It seems to be some critique of some aspect of past anthropology, but what that is exactly is opaque.

It's a question of degree, and also one of context. In this case, he seems to have extracted a lot of value from somebody else's work without himself having created much that is new.
