This is why some companies and interests are better off staying private. SpaceX is a perfect example. Musk doesn't want to be accountable to shareholders for return on investment and annual results.

Services like this have a very large network effect. As the informed users leave, the quality of discussion drops and the remainder of users end up leaving too.

Now you can build apps on the iPad… it’s a baby version of XCode, but you can submit them to the App Store which is pretty rad.

Bar ends were never very popular. Maybe 5-10% of riders used them. I don’t think a single manufacturer adopted them in a shipped from the factory setup.

There is no doubt purses are useful on occasion and if you are carrying a purse, pockets are redundant. But I suspect one of the big reasons women complain about pockets is because there are occasions where having to carry around a purse is

This reminds me of the guy who traded a paper clip for a house... only in reverse. Every time these companies get traded, more gets added to the bundle and they sell for less money. Soon it’ll be Yahoo & AOL sold for an NFT of an illust

First... duh. I mean it is something everyone has known for a long time. That said, I think it goes a little bit deeper than just simply the fashion industry is trying to screw women over. You can buy women’s pants with pockets, some of the

Why not just put the login in the top bar . I’m not sure why a site would recommend making an extra click easier when it’s not necessary at all. If someone has ever logged into your site, they should get a login page so they don’t have t

Modern houses are very easy to install and come in preconfigured shapes. They ship flat packed components and drop them on site for low skilled workers to build. They include things like bathrooms and kitchens as part of the build.

There are better ways to build affordable housing already. You make a factory that builds prefabricated panels then deliver them onsite. With prefab, you don’t need to transport an expensive piece of equipment to remote parts of the world a

I suppose that’s a fair comment. The whole build system and IDE slow down when working with Swift. It’s possible Swift wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for faster processors. One nice thing is Swift is slow to build but quick at runtime.

Apple forecast a 2 year transition a year ago at WWDC. That means they need a processor for their base laptop/ consumer desktops. One for their high end laptops and many of their pro desktops. And arguably one to replace the Xeon in th

> 90% of the laptops sold Worldwide aren't Apple laptops, most of them are sub $500 laptops. Apple’s share of the total PC shipments is closer to 15% now and their share of the laptop market is even higher.

Maybe for some low hangers, but compiling code will still be faster, XCode and VSCode will be a bit snappier, Safari and Messages will be a bit better. These base things need to work on a broad range of products. The fact that Apple writes

There are definitely reasons leasing is appealing, dealing with trade ins and resale can be a big headache. I tend to hang onto vehicles for 7+ years regardless so it’s not a big issue here.

Musk is bad about price promises, but $10k is a huge exaggeration, you can still get the Model 3 for $39k. The Model 3 was available to anyone who preordered it for that price and was available for around $37k for some time. You suggestion

Teslas are still pretty new, but generally speaking leasing them is not a great choice. The terms are fine, but financially you are better off buying one and selling it after 3 years. They tend to hold their price a lot better than a Merced

“Premium Sedan” includes a lot of things. BMW certainly classifies driving performance as part of that. As does Lexus. Mercedes has it’s own performance models. Now if you wanted to argue that the Tesla Model 3/Y aren’t “Luxury Sedans”

> New S, X, Roadster, Cybertruck, and Semi models on the way There is also a lot of noise around the sub $30k mystery car Musk hinted about at the battery event. He said $25k, but given Tesla’s pricing history, $28-30k is more likely.

Any kind of wired setup would interfere with other tractors they use in the field. Fertilization, and eventually harvesting. I’m not sure why people are inventing more complicated solutions when this robot seems to handle the job quite well

Hydrogen power is fundamentally a power storage technology. It makes sense to use H2 for that. I've seen some technology that transforms CO2 into jet fuel which is another somewhat carbon neutral technology.

A lot of these problems solve themselves with proper pricing. For example if power is nearly free during daylight hours and expensive in the evening, businesses will shift some percentage of energy intensive operations to daylight hours. EV

It feels like within the next 20 years we are going to have a good handle on “green” power to fixed locations. The tricky piece we have left is how do we move people and freight over long distances. EVs can do a decent job of transporting a

We know a lot of ways to store power. The trick is storing it efficiently. If we have enough surplus power (which may be the case in a few years), efficiency becomes less important.

I’ve seen this pop up a few times, usually when scrubbing video. I thought it previously gave you the option to continue so maybe it’s changed a bit. I think it’s not a bad idea in terms of security, and likely its a response to an actual a

Advertising... is shitty. Not just for Tesla, lots of companies make exaggerated claims about their products. Take a look at any advertising around SuperCruise and you’ll see the phrase “Hands Free Driving” about a million times. But fundam

If the university was doing research then they should publish their findings on this most recent follow up experiment. Suggested title: “Linux Kernel developers found to reject nonsense patches from known bad actors”

You can’t attack the problems online advertising presents one by one, any solution needs to think about the other issues around it. It isn’t just about privacy. If there was a reasonable sized white list of fairly harmless “interests”, th
