You can browse all the companies that the FTC has consent decrees with. You don’t have to be large. The existence of a consent decree says nothing about their market position.

I think you missed OPs point. As I understand it, Waymo can’t drive on unmapped roads, and therefore there are no comparable videos of Waymo actually doing that. You chose a Waymo video from their marketing channel, and a newspaper hit piec

I can't agree that funding is "largely the reason" why NASA takes so long to do anything. I doubt funding is a top 3 reason. NASA just isn't about high-risk / high-reward "moonshots" anymore. The overarc

I think they don’t usually last that long. The body won’t keep producing the modified cells. Plus I think the modification made them basically only good for killing the native (cancerous) T cells

Warhol’s work - his painting of a photo of Prince - is going before the Surpreme Court to answer just this question, is it not?!

You thought right. Parent comment is wrong. Many random “bet she won’t serve half of that” comments were corrected in the original discussion.

I don’t have this issue at all. AutoPilot (not FSD Beta) is not designed for back roads or complex city driving. It’s best on highways and state roads with limited intersections. I do not use it in the city. The issue I have with AutoPilot

I just want to second this. I use a long alphanumeric password to unlock my iPhone plus FaceID. I enter the password at most a few times a week after reboots and if someone plays with the phone and gets FaceID to fail too many times. It’s n

You don’t have to guess the announcement actually tells you 3rd party keys can be used and NFC keys can be tapped on the iPhone.

I do not! But I feel like we should not be kind to misinformation and false innuendo.

It’s a fun narrative but it’s bullshit right? The old radar and the new radar they are putting in are not the same part. So “supply chain” is the wrong answer. The new radar has been under development at Tesla. The old radar didn’t have the

I can answer that because I just drove home in the rain at night in my Tesla Model 3. It was a light rain that has been falling for hours. The roads are sleek but very few deep puddles. No problem with traction, but the sheen of the water c

Elon in June 2021; The probability of safety will be higher with pure vision than vision+radar, not lower. Vision has become so good that radar actually reduces signal/noise. A very high resolution radar would be better than pure visi

Do you say “hope the gas tank won’t explode” anytime someone sleeps in an ICE car? Are you aware that battery igniting while car parked is exceedingly rare?

Where the discussion goes off the rails and becomes less enlightening in my opinion is railing against using and ultimately killing animals in the pursuit of scientific advancement in general versus something unique or specific about how Ne

I’d say it’s a bad idea when you can implement most .well-known features by just touching or copying static files into the right directory, and then suddenly a .well-known feature comes along that expects something smarter than a static fil

This doesn’t make sense… how are they running power to the door lock? I would have guessed that these devices always run on battery don’t they?

That can’t explain it! Amazon is happy to rake an innovative and thriving seller over the coals arguably in an attempt to enforce policy violations ! So they have this whole team setup to do enforcement, and they are being totally manipula

I would never frame this as Twitter being forced to do anything. I don’t think this is a 1A issue. But I think several things are surprising here. First, how deeply rooted democratic operatives within Twitter took totally unprecedented acti

The problem isn’t doing it per say. The problem is that they lied and basically gaslighted everyone as to the reason they censored the post. It was a total fabrication and they knew it.

The point isn’t that Twitter felt compelled. Isn’t the point that Twitter happily complied, and even made up reasons to censor the stuff they thought was the most damaging “in order to prevent another 2016”.

by zaroth 4y ago
In fact in both cases they were happy to comply. No coercion was necessary, making Twitter into an overtly political apparatus in this case.

Why does Amazon allow this? It actually seems like they’re in on it, and want these Chinese firms to be able to rip off a product and dominate the results. Where are these abuse complains coming from and how can they possible be shutting do

Then by your standard everybody interfered too. This is a nonsensical stance. Degree matters, particularly when the degree was beyond miniscule relative to the handwringing and accusations and response. It’s been obvious for years that the

If that’s the case for Windows ads (I don’t actually know) then I totally agree the response is highly overblown there too!
