True true and yet... People do want faster horses. The model T had 20hp. Try to get a Ford nowadays with less than 10x that ;)

Nobody is asking for a "Wechat" in the west. It's not something I've ever seen anyone craving for. And no need to spend 44,000,000,000$ on twitter if all you want is to destroy the brand and replace it with a letter bran

What is with the ADHD of tech billionaires nowadays? Sam not busy enough with OpenAI? Musk not busy enough with Tesla? The world needs eye balls scanning worldcoins about as much as it needs X. It's really a pity we use talent, money a

Bank fees are fees. There is no technical requirement whatsoever to come up with blockchain nor cryptocurrency to get rid of fees. They can be set to zero if public will is there. In fact my Citibank account has zero fees for worldwide SWIF

If you can't name even one specific product and only have us "creatively think of some" (none of us can come up with, hence asking YOU about it), then maybe there is none.

That's such a cynic and may I say arrogant take on things and on the important work designers do. One could equally argue engineers refactor code just "to justify their continued existence for the purpose of job security". Or

We've been doing Snow Leopard for the last few years. There's not been major feature releases. Just a bunch of little things here and there really.

Okay so now we know the downsides. Destruction of friendships and negative impact on your social life. Can you tell us a bit more of the benefits/upsides of your decision?

Needs an actual website. Needs an iPad app. Needs messaging/DM. Needs to sort out spam (all my instagram spam has already made it to threads). Needs a filter so I can see threads from people I actually follow not by people I don't

They will be able to live a normal life out and about instead of sitting in their tiny room with a headset on dreaming of being in said normal life.

Same with any Macbook. Buy one and try to sell it again right after the return period is over. See how little Apple will offer you for it.

It's honestly not worth $20 unless you use it professionally. I've paid it for two months but the novelty wore off and I cancelled. Bing (or ChatGPT 3.5) is enough for the occasional use.

There's zero "trade secrets" (everyone knows how twitter works) and no technical secrets necessary. Threads is just instagram. It works and looks the same way. Instagram is photos with text, Threads is text with photos. The l

Okay I give you that. I was wrong about zero. 19 trainsets out of a total of 594. 3%. And those were manufactured in Austria (like I said), not Germany. But yes Siemens is HQed in Munich. So I guess they bought them from there. True. Not su

Not one single kind of rolling stock in Singapore's MRT is made in Germany. Why do you just claim random things like that as if it were true? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Singapore_MRT_and_LRT_...

" - If Japan can't handle it securely, why do we think we can?" What does that even mean? There are no large earthquakes, let alone any tsunamis in Germany. And even if there were, most nuclear plants were not at the sea.

by ulfw 3y ago
Oh no no. Germany loves importing nuclear electricity from France, Czech Republic and others too. Makes the government feel good about having quit nuclear, because somehow when it comes from across the border it's not so bad anymore.

"The pilot project, which is expected to be completed this summer at a cost of $560,000, will see Sun-Ways use a regular train to lay down 60 solar panels on a 140-foot stretch of railway track near the city of Neuchâtel" it'

This is why so many are fed up with Germany and especially Germany's current government. You know, maybe people don't want to bike in a country where it's too hot in the summer, too icey/cold/snowy in the winter an

Gmail was so much better than competing services at the time (in terms of storage) and also this was almost 20 years ago. Different world, different internet, different userbase.

AI is a profound change for how we will live. It's more a socioeconomic change (loss of millions of jobs) than a technological advancement. The worst part is the current state though, where all the crypto hype bros have come out of the
