99% chance that's confirmation bias

you actually do have to tell them that, just much earlier in life and in the form of various lessons and parables and stories (like, say, the monkey's paw) and whatnot

I'm arguing that the 6.1" screen and 6.3" screen both represent the same form factor since they occupy the same slot in the iPhone product matrix.

What is it that you think your characterization adds that I missed?

The issue is the goal with SpaceX is clear and something cool, whereas the Trump administration's goals are vile and DOGE's goals are at best unclear but probably just the same as Trump. An aggressive anti-waste campaign would be

Even if what you say is true (and as other posters point out, it isnt), DOGE and the Trump administration are staffed by confirmed Nazis and white supremacists who should be nowhere near the government. And Musk and VP Vance (both of whom

You can argue my comparison is not like-for-like enough, I'm simply arguing the comparison they chose is misleading .

"It has more battery life than the iPhone 16 but less than the iPhone 16 Pro."

Of course it is, it makes you think they're talking about the non-Max size class iPhones when in fact they're splitting hairs about a 5mm difference in screen size to make it sound more impressive.

Yes I know, that's why it's misleading and not wrong .

I think I've pretty clearly articulated my thoughts on these elements

They put out a whole playbook called Project 2025, developed by a bunch of insane people at the Heritage Foundation. Trump lied and said he didn't know anything about it. Now they're doing it.

1. I don't think using power for AI is more unethical than any other non-life-critical usage of the same amount of power. Since data centers use electricity, there are already many green technologies which can power them. People are ju

I think it's fair to respond to hypothetical problems with hypothetical solutions that I think are plausible and/or likely.

According to some quick research (grain of salt, used ChatGPT deep research) KitchenAid stand mixers cost over $3000 (inflation adjusted) when released in 1919, and perhaps $1500 (inflation adjusted) in the 1970s, so they too are cheaper th

But conversely higher quality goods may take more energy and material to produce. It's actually not obvious how this maths out! You'd have to look at it empirically.

I don't get your point. I support clean energy.

What would that have to do with what I wrote?

FWIW here's how I resolve the article's questions currently: 1. Energy usage: Using electricity is not unethical. For many reasons we need to transition Earth to use clean energy. This is not a reason to not use new technology, no

Fairly misleading, since according to the comparison on their site ( https://www.apple.com/iphone/compare/?modelList=iphone-16,ip... ) the slightly-bigger 6.3 inch iPhone 16 Pro gets 27 hours of video playback vs th

You didn't really specify what's bad, and I don't think the current law on photography (or whatever you're worried about) is an issue so I'm arguing both ethics/morals and legalities.
