It's just another case of "spaceman bad". Even his recent comment about Microsoft requiring a user account for installing Windows seemingly made some people make a 180 just to disagree with him.

You make it sound like anyone can pay $33 to shut down a site. They brought the case to a judge, seemingly proved copyright infringement, showed how they had made numerous attempts at contacting the owners, and the site owner had the opport

With the exception of Apple Vision Pro and maybe AI, all of those are mature and examples of previous successes. OP is asking for the next thing. Like joining Twitter in 2006 or Vine in the beginning of 2013.

The stores I visit usually have 10+ self checkouts. It swallows a lot more people so you don't have to queue like in a regular store. It also allows people with fewer items to bypass the people with a full shopping cart because there a

Yes and no. It seems you're required to be on a meal plan. First-year students automatically (you might be able to downgrade) get a plan for $4019 which includes 400 meals and $75. Meals vary in price though. So if you max out on dinne

I think you're just getting too close to regular grants for research and development but with more losers. For example, Vinnova is handing out $5m for AI projects this year. Why participate in a contest when I can just get $100k from t

It has been the main view since at least the 80s but then we got a low carb high fat movement around 00s-10s that argued that carbs are a poison. Partly because if you stopped eating carbs, then you basically couldn't eat high caloric

I understand that people dislike Netflix (price hike, account sharing, political content) and want to draw conclusions based on this, but one should remember that these awards are still pay-to-play. It didn't disappear with Weinstein.
