Based on the news I've seen I'm not sure being from there is a good reason to travel there either.

You can't buy something which was just announced. Shocker. Regardless of the availability of this specific model, the parent comment still claimed that a car must be sold in the United States or it "might as well not exist".

Because as we all know the other 7.9B people on the planet never drive. Cars are clearly a uniquely American concept.

Yes I think it's always been overvalued. Musk's whole schtick (before appealing to nazis) was manipulating the stock price.

I'm sorry I must be missing something. The examples from the repo itself aren't helping to explain. Why would anyone use this whole convoluted nodejs thing when `git diff-tree` exists? I'm struggling to see a scenario where t

Are you suggesting that the well publicised images and video of the Tesla CEO doing a "Nazi Salute" are fake? Are you suggesting that the reporting saying he appeared virtually at a campaign event for a German political party made

I understand your point that the "news" part is that RCS standard now includes E2EE, rather than about Apple's support for said standard. But I don't think it's fair to suggest or imply that this development is unre

... server sent events are great but they're not "old school Unix". They were standardised in 2004. Cron is mostly replaced by more modern solutions for the same problem space, IMO: systemd timers on Linux, launchd on macOS.

I was initially against systemd (around the time Debian started discussing using it) for non-technical reasons: the project seemed to have some very negative aspects in terms of how feedback and concerns are addressed. I don't know f

So your complaint is, "how dare they charge for a service they're offering"? If you don't want to use it to create invitations, don't. There's zero requirement for you to have an account if others invite you to

This looks interesting but unless there's a vagrant plugin to use it, I'm pretty unlikely to spend any serious time using it.

Right, but there's a significant difference between "they only support a proprietary format we can't do anything" and "they created and open sourced a different format and we're choosing not to offer it"

TB4 supports DP2.0, which (in UHBR13.5 or UHBR20 mode) has enough bandwidth for 5K @ 120Hz (or 144/180 Hz with UHBR20). The issue is more likely to be availability, and marketability. In general the demand for high refresh rates on d
