Does that imply there will soon be Tesla steaks?

Arbitrary in the sense of non-essential things that governments spend other people’s money on. The fact that most people don’t agree is why tax is taken by force.

The federal government is free to ask for whatever it likes. It’s pretty absurd to imagine otherwise. What it can’t do is punish people for what they say. Twitter as you point out, is a business that is free to do whatever it likes, and pu

> He has sold all the Teslas that he can sell to coastal elite liberals If Musk really believes this, then it’s safe to call him a pathetic businessman, since he doesn’t understand the concept of repeat customers.

People developing negative associations with brands because of the behavior of their representatives long pre-dates “cancel culture”.

> I don’t think we are at risk of him spinning up a new token and making millions. Why not? He has stated that he intends to earn the money again to pay back the creditors.

Why aren’t Android phones the clear winner for the photographic and video creation communities?

Report shows no censorship at all. It does show Apple removing products that are banned by the respective governments from their stores. We might dislike Apple’s behavior or think it morally just for them to break the law in China, but then

It has been said elsewhere that he may be able to cooperate with forthcoming indictments of other players, such as CZ. So far though this is just speculation.

> Notably, he is going to make a plea deal That’s not what the article says. It says he will enter a plea later. To enter a plea means to plead guilty or not guilty. All they are saying is that he hasn’t said either way yet.

I see no evidence Apple is getting ‘Spanked’ by Google in the camera department. Google seems to be advertising some editing features that have been available in third party iOS apps for some time. That’s about it.

> I suspect there are other drivers like administrative overhead and overbuilt facilities. Right, and this is why they are trying to underpay teaching staff. There is no problem with “whiny” PhDs. The problem is with overpaid self-deali

Discouraging and disparaging practices that are helpful is also harmful. Have you considered that? Also, Apple adopted these practices long before they had significant market share in any market. Nobody has been “forced” to adopt them in

“Some guy claims”, is a valid source when the claim is credible. We can’t be sure it’s true of course, until we learn more, but it’s just silly to dismiss it out of hand.

Who should do the teaching instead?

Nobody is saying that every phone with a replaceable battery will break.

by tosc 4y ago
It will lead to shorter phone lifespans. In addition to extra waste with every battery, and smaller batteries that have a shorter usefully life, replaceable batteries mean a weaker phone that is more prone to breakage.

Perhaps he doesn’t know about the technical side. Remember he was fired from PayPal for insisting on using Windows for the servers. Maybe this is what he means by a “total rewrite”.

Presumably the same incentive as Tesla has.

Adding a politically toxic messaging app to PayPal would make PayPal less attractive, not more.

The point is that the existence of exceptions doesn’t make something a spectrum. It just adds a few additional categories.

User replacable batteries mean more e-waste, not less.

by tosc 4y ago
The chargers thing was borderline, but this is clearly absurd. Phones with user replaceable batteries have shorter working lives and shorter battery life for the volume than those without.

Facebook believes in the future, not outdated notions like Christmas. Joking aside, sorry this happened to you. These kind of inhumane policy do nothing but create stress.
