It's Web 2.0 all over again. No moat, winner-take-all (economies-of-scale/network-effect). Just have to out-spend everyone else, and then figure out whether it was worth it all after you win.

Thanks to this disaster of a website that prompts my browser to accept notifications, and autoplays a video ad that hijacked my audio output and shifted the content I was listening to over to the internal computer speaker.

How do your licenses work? I'm interested in purchasing a license, and wondering what computers I can use it on. Is the license per user, or per computer?

Yeah, most AEB systems I've used work quite well. I've had a couple false alarms (just at the warning stage) where I can at least understand why they happened from a system perspective, even if there was no risk. I did find "

It's really not. I drive at an upper-percentile pace, so I am rarely dawdling along in the right lane. However, on the rare occasion I've found myself going slowly in the right lane, it's stunning how incompetent most people

Is it one of those cars that alters the brake boost depending on circumstances? That drives me nuts. When you put x amount of force into the brake pedal, you should know you're going to get y amount of deceleration. Don't double t

Even that can be tricky, with the indecisive behavior people use when merging.

This is a great use of this technology. In aggregate, these hard braking events _do_ tell us about road design issues. They also tell us about problematic drivers, in aggregate. I'll never use one of these dongles, though, because I do

I find it quite easy to hold/manage a tight space that people won't cut into, and don't have to brake hard, because I look ahead. To be sure, it's more mentally taxing to hold a tight gap, so it's not something you

To be fair to a US president who doesn't deserve any kind of fairness, the US/China dynamic 30 years ago is very different from today's dynamic -- and this has a lot more to do with China's growth than anything the US ha

Sure they can be enforced. Your comment seems to be based on the idea of detecting AI writing from the output. But you can enforce this law based on the way content is created. The same way you can enforce food safety laws from conditions o

There's a lot of it in the article. Very distracting, I just didn't know what to call it (I searched for 'tail' before posting my own comment).

Wow, the tails on the lowercase letter 't' throughout that article are distracting.

Got it. Yeah, the headlights and sound system on my (2018) 3 are AMAZINGLY good, especially (now) for the age. I drove a 2017 S fairly regularly-- so it's a first year (?) of the refresh, but pretty dated now. The sound system is abysm

I think of the i4 as being more of a Model 3 / BMW 3 series size car, isn't it? The S is more in line with with 5er. I love the way the Taycan CrossTurismo thing looks, but holy hell getting in and out of it is like getting in and

Wait, an S? Why? I've got a 3 LR too and.... I just can't say anything about the extraordinarily long-in-the-tooth S excites me. Usually something is desirable when it's new, then the desirability fades as the product ages an

Bad news that is priced in is still bad news. The meta-commentary of the bad news being priced in, and the behavior of the stock post-earnings is absolutely useful information and valid analysis, but it's not the key takeaway unless yo

Graffiti is the catch-all, but "street art" vs "tagging" have pretty clearly distinct meaning.

As a dual US/EU national who would love to move to Europe, I, for one, welcome the increase in tech demand on that side of the pond.

I do find it funny that Brits colloquially describe "Europe" as being foreign, as in, "in Britain" vs "in Europe", or "in Europe" vs "on the continent. Of course, I guess the "the continent&
