Of course there are downsides to greed, but as a driving force of human action it's good because it's relatable, identifiable, and can be regulated. Society gets to dictate how much greed is okay, not private industries. We deci

That’s what a business is. Greed is good, it drives people to do great things and create amazing products. If company A cared less about profits and more about society, it would lose out to company B who cares only about profit and market

I don’t blame the engineers, they’re clearly very talented because their products are addictive. I don’t blame the executives either, because they’re clearly very good at managing a trillion dollar behemoth and making ungodly amounts of mo

Was anyone asking for a refreshed look? How many consumers would pick Apple vs. Windows because Windows 10 is old and might look dated? I don’t understand why Microsoft remains committed to a big Windows release every decade when incrementa

Apple’s pivot to privacy has more to do with marketing than with actual functionality.

The problem with politics today is how they are covered. Nobody wants to watch how sausage is made, but they will watch the sausage factory burning down. All you hear about is conflict and partisanship, but if you look at polls you see tha

Hypersonics aren’t new tech, they were tested and developed decades ago by the US. It’s only recently that they’ve made a reappearance. Why do you think it took only 2 years for multiple military branches to spin up and test multiple sepa

The problem isn’t that Rober creates content and gets to profit from it, that’s capitalism 101. The problem is that no one is policing or watching over the content makers. Educational channels can quickly turn into infomercials for manufa

Oh, gee, another excessively dramatic article about crypto/Tether (see “… a potential criminal case that would have broad implications for the cryptocurrency market.”) My gut tells me that the Tether team did break some laws when tryin

I think you’re jumping to conclusions. We don’t know their standard process for reclassifying alerts. Maybe an analyst reviews every single alert and manual overrides are common. Maybe post-processing several months later is also standar

It’s just marketing speak. If your tech product doesn’t use AI, machine learning or have an algorithm then it won’t look as bright and shiny to customers.

Why would they intervene? Increased inflation was one of the reasons for passing so much stimulus. Several years of 3-5% inflation means the government's debt is 20-25% smaller relatively speaking. The Fed has been trying to get to

Yes, it's all just a big conspiracy at the highest levels, lol. What really happened is that western countries and corporations didn't care _enough_ about China because China wasn't that powerful/influential. Now that Ch

I don't really see Apple Fitness+ and Peloton as competitors. First, the Peloton bike/equipment is both targeted at and only really make sense for the 1%. Apple's hardware is a few hundred bucks and has insane usability bey

AWACS do do that, however, in a conflict with a peer enemy AWACS would get shot down immediately since they're non-stealth sitting ducks.

The recent criticism against the F35 was started by Adam Smith, Democratic Representative from Washington state, where Boeing has a huge presence and is a big donor. The chief of staff of the Air Force referred to the F35 as a Ferrari that

While a limitation, I don't really think this affects the platform much. It's not an air superiority fighter like the F-22, it's much more of an air "quarterback" to to speak. It flies up, sees the defense, sees t

They're obsessed with making money. No 3.5mm means you're more likely to buy bluetooth earbuds. No SD? Cloud services. Battery? You'll get a new phone after 18-24 months. No charger? Wireless charging pad. Apple can &qu

Bird poop on sensors? Dirt? Grime? Rain? Snow? How sensitive are these sensors? Half the rental cars I get have broken blindspot or rearview camera sensors. How often will L3-L5 sensors need to be maintained/replaced in order for softw

Did anyone in the comments even read the article or did they just skim the title and decide to chide America since that's so du jour right now? The gist of the article is that an enormous crisis created strains on connecting people and

The whole idea of an all encompassing touch interface in a car is a terrible idea. Humans are incredibly adept at manipulating buttons, knobs, etc., and can do so by relying on muscle memory and without looking at the item they're try

Home owners and landlords have more sway than renters. Why would they vote for government officials that promise to destroy their asset values?

A quick Google search suggests that SNN200642 masks are advertised as having graphene in them. Googling "biomass graphene" yields a bunch more links, including this one: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1&

Obviously. Intermediators love volatility and big spreads! Users will probably lose a few percentage points on every transaction, so for PayPal this is basically a license to print money.

I'm fairly certain that if China did to the US what they did to India last year[0], we would strike back, and strike back hard. If China/Russia got to the point where they're causing power outages and rioting/looting, C

What a myopic take. The world just experienced one of the most seismic cultural and behavioral shifts in human history on a scale that's probably never happened before and the vast majority of people fell in line without too much compl
