And I will stop all camera, lens and accessories purchases from amazon from today. Very simple. No problemo. Shutting down a website I literally grew up with over 25 years to save a buck from a handful or two of salaries is ridiculous for

What if surgeons get replaced by better robotics hardware (more accurate cutting techniques than a human hand) and better AI software. The premise that a more experience surgeon is a lot better than a newbie surgeon holds true. How do you b

The problem of Zuckerberg's company isn't that they paid too much in engineering salaries. The problem is they paid it for the wrong things, invested into the wrong projects and let their hero products wither.

Why is camera footage from a purchased car sent to a car manufacturer at all is the bigger question. Can people opt-out?

Agreed. $39.99/month to properly use the service "Unlimited" is beyond ridiculous for what it is.

Oh and the likes of Facebook or Google or Amazon are not?

Well who cares if it's toxic. If your PTO was truly "unlimited" you could take every day of the year off et voila... no toxic culture for you at all. Oh right, it's not actually "unlimited" by any definition of

That is true. You're technically correct. In 2004 1GB of email was effectively unlimited though. Keep in mind hotmail offered 2MB and only increased that 125x when Gmail launched. https://www.cnet.com/tech/services

That's okay if they can leapfrog. Google Maps wasn't the first map product. We all used mapquest way before. But Google Maps was technologically advanced. Ajax made maps usable for the first time. Gmail wasn't the first webma

I for one can't wait for the new 2024 Mini EV. With double the range of the current model and on a dedicated EV platform it'll be the perfect little car. I can't be bothered with an SUV as a single person.

Crypto is gambling. Equally barely legal, equally based on nothing but bullshit and greed and hopes for the big win. Equally only 'the bank' wins at the end.

But there was a significant and fast growing market for watches, smartphones and MP3 players. Where is that for VR headsets? It's neither a huge installed market (watches) nor is it fast growing (smartphones late 2000s).

Someone could say an ex-German government leader working for the pipeline company he approved could be seen as corrupt.

It's okay. Nobody's hiring anyway. Positions are 'open' to show a company is still viable. Good luck getting even interviewed.

When a coffee costs $7 instead of $4, even if I could "afford it" is something any normal human being notices. Rich or poor. Being able to afford such change is a different story. Do you not even look at your phone/credit car

A lot of that came from increasing energy prices. Norway is an energy producer, Sweden is an energy consumer.

I've lived in SF first time in 1997. Market Street was utterly shit back then already. This was before SoMa became a big thing for internet startups. Scary, shops closed or decrepit. Frankly SF hasn't used it's potential in a

How old are you? This is a very idealistic point of view. I might call it a "I watch a lot of Star Trek" utopian kind of view. Vast majority of people in the real world do a "useless job". What do you think they should

Do they manufacture them 'for free' too? Launches are never free. Cheaper maybe, but free is a vast overstatement of what SpaceX is doing.

That's nice. But doesn't help those of us who lost their jobs with lots of experience and actual previous work ('not just sitting around/overhired') and now can't find anything. The odd thing is that it's
