   It's priced at $3499 = seems too expensive for a consumer device (maybe)?

   I don't really think Zuck and Meta are any competition for this - will this end Meta's AR/VR prospects?

   In my above comment, in order to acertain the data and compare India's statistics to those of the US, I tried googling it, but could not seem to find any reliable answers. As an alternative, I decided to use ChatGPT. Unfortunately, I d

   I see what you're getting to - while you're not wrong, you're not right either. They're not carrying hitjobs on rivals or opponents - they're eliminating gang leaders and major criminals. The judiciary is either afr

   There were a total of 117 lynchings in India in 2019, compared to 41 for the US in the same time period. This is the same number of lynchings on a per capita basis - while 117 lynchings is a 117 too many, the number is effectively negligibl

   It's a lot more nuanced than India hating Pakistan. Discrediting a newspaper for being Indian doesn't seem like the right approach - it's the equivalent of dismissing any and all news on Russia or China by American papers. Sh

   10 years to implode on what basis? That there's an oligarchy of sorts? What an absurd statement.

    Slightly confused - why is this a problem? If the US government asks Twitter to take a tweet down, do you expect them to take it down only in the USA, while leaving it up everywhere else?

    Very valid point! They banned all VLC impersonators alongside VLC, I believe. Again - definitely not how you solve the problem. I was simply clarifying what had actually happened.

    Not exactly. They banned VLC because a bunch of Chinese companies were spreading illegitimate versions of VLC disguised as the real package, and installing spyware alongside the media player. Not the best way to tackle the problem, but I th

    Man, I have an M1 Mac and downloaded Chrome about a week ago. This thing drains my battery. I mean, I still get 10 hours out of the machine, but it's extraordinarily bad - running Chrome made me hear my Mac's fans for the first

    How do you apply though? I'd assume vacancies would be extremely rare - quite interesting you've had four friends do it.

    If you're using Private Relay, your ISP won't be able to see what websites you're visiting. Would you still need to verify your identity in that case?

    Hi Chris! Love what you're doing with Substack. One quick thing though - this may seem weird, but Substack at the moment does not, in my opinion, offer a lot of customisation of the website. If you see a website, it's extremely ea

    Hi Walter! You have (evidently) a tonne of experience in the aviation industry. Is there anything you noticed the 'engineer's engineers' had in common? What made them such great engineers. I was looking to a career in Aerospa

    I appreciate your comment - and I admire your belief in Medium's ability to go back to the right path, but why do you think Medium will be able to get people to its platform, considering Substack is already on the right path? As far as

    Sure, but ironically sounds a whole lot better than nominative deterministically.

    This is awesome! How does it feel to have contributed to a massive advancement in space exploration? Did you develop ScriptEase with this use case in mind (cameras)? Why did ScriptEase development stop? Do you think ScriptEase would be usef

    The article basically states that the reason the government banned it was because Chinese actors were using VideoLAN products (VLC) to deploy malware loaders onto citizens' devices. I don't understand why they banned videolan.org
