What makes you think I lacked the context here?
242.
by tt24 10mo ago
Correct. I have zero shame for voting in favor of the interests of myself and the people that matter to me. Have a good holiday as well!

Do you lot ever get tired of saying stuff like this? It’s not 2016 anymore, there’s no need for it.

You’re welcome to purchase a car from another vendor. This framing is dishonest
245.
by tt24 10mo ago
> How many vendors can you buy software for your Tesla from? Not many. That's fine. Just buy another car. There's plenty of competition in the space.

Interesting, you think the second amendment is absolute? Can you elaborate on that?

by tt24 10mo ago
So it’s okay to not follow local laws sometimes?
248.
by tt24 10mo ago
Hilarious opinion. Of course they’re not, Tesla and Ford don’t have a dominant market share anywhere and have a tremendous amount of competitors. I think it would help you to take a look at what the word monopoly means.

So Ford and Tesla are monopolies?

Calling it "poverty" is a misnomer - in the United States, even the poorest get food, healthcare, and housing.

Sorry but voting in favor of the 1% is very much in my interest. A good chunk of HN will be able to relate to this as SWEs in the SF bay area.

What if the local laws are bad? I think it would be good to disobey Turkey's law that requires removal of posts criticizing the current leadership.

I notice how you intentionally didn't respond to the other two points, interesting.

Something tells me that the thing about Google not allowing custom Andriod operating systems to install apps is not quite true. I don't know about this specific topic yet, but I bet that if I look into it, I'll find out that there

There are far more than two companies selling phones.

Okay, so someone acting against something big and foreign is good? Why?
257.
by tt24 10mo ago
Okay, so it has to be something you purchase - we're slowly getting closer to the true opinion here. Sony is a monopoly as well then? They decide what gets sold in the Playstation store. Same with Nintendo. Ford and Tesla are monopolie

Let me know when Apple dictates what kind of transactions it's acceptable for me to engage in and which ones aren't - a decision that Apple has absolutely no say in, but the EU and other governing bodies regularly engage in.

by tt24 10mo ago
Not sure what this has to do with my comment but okay!
260.
by tt24 10mo ago
That's the thing, you don't have to be! You are welcome to use another phone more to your liking.
261.
by tt24 10mo ago
That's fine, I have no issue with Apple not sharing my opinion. It's a perfectly understandable and respectable business decision.
262.
by tt24 10mo ago
Okay, using that definition, Walmart, Target, Dollar Tree, my local regional grocery store, Trader Joe's and Ralph's are monopolies as well. They own their shelves and store space, and are the sole arbiters responsible for decidin

Your comment is absolutely spot on, no notes. Wish your attitude was more popular and prevalent around here. My guess is that before 2017 or so it used to be.

How is Apple a monopoly?
265.
by tt24 10mo ago
Strange opinion. Anyone that holds the SP500 (which is probably 99% of HN users between 9am and 5pm PT) are Apple shareholders, and what’s good for Apple is entirely aligned with what’s good for them. Taking a further step back, this same g

This is true not only for SWEs, but for the median worker in the United States.

by tt24 10mo ago
I don’t understand how this relates to my comment.

Still no - PPP (that’s after expenses such as food, healthcare, housing, etc) is significantly higher in the United States.

I’m sorry to disappoint you but the EU is unable to create any usable alternatives to US tech chiefly due to lack of SWE talent (among other things). Anyone remotely competent sees the 40k senior SWE salaries offered by European tech compan

This comment isn’t helpful and adds nothing to the conversation. When someone makes an argument regarding ‘x’, the correct response is a rebuttal to the argument on its merits. Not “why are you defending x?”
