Well I’m definitely going to suggest that you don’t understand the definition of the word monopoly, because it has nothing to do with “size”. What I’m suggesting is that it’s at best sloppy, and at worst corrupt, to arbitrarily apply rules

So where’s your line? Do we all need to drive a Prius?

You’re making a lot of statements here with no supporting argument. Plenty of other companies manufacture hardware and run stores. If we’re going to say that isn’t allowed, then at least make the rule across the board. How many new companie

I guess we can all make up analogies that don’t resonate with other people? You’re describing racketeering, and in your analogy, you have a store. But in reality, you don’t have a store, so the hypothetical doesn’t make any sense. Do you wa

I just don’t get the outrage. If you made HATS and wanted to sell them at STORE, do you think you get to just walk into STORE and tell the manager/owner: 1) find some space on the shelf and your stock room to put my stuff! 2) I don’t h

Individual action definitely doesn't hurt, but it is not enough. You and all your friends could install solar and batteries and drive EVs and all the energy consumption for your house, cooking, and travel could be totally green and ren

Pick your favorite place on the planet. Then tell me if 8 billion people can live there, and would it be the same place if they did? I know the answer to both of these questions, and so do you.

People charge at home: no $ People charge at work: business has to eat the cost, can’t have that. If this fee makes sense, then they should also remove any existing taxes for roads and assess the fee to every car.

We require individual humans to be licensed to drive and can revoke that license as needed.

Some people only bought the sandwich because of the chips. If chips weren't offered they would have bought lunch from someone else across the street.

If you divided the competitors into “has freakishly long arms” and “doesn’t have freakishly long arms” groups to compete within, and Phelps met the metrics for freakishly long arms, are you saying you think he should be free to compete in e

If you prefer ai slop, let me introduce you to moltbook! Some of the ai agents there were even trained by humans being paid by pedophilic fascist speed freaks, so they tend to be more amenable to that sort of thing than your typical human.

Why downplay the mass surveillance aspect by saying it's a request by "the military". It's a request by the department of defense, the parent organization of the NSA. From what has been shared publicly, they absolutely d

You don’t work in hardware. Now someone has to open a box and put a charger in? And you have to ship air for the other SKU? How much fuel/energy was wasted shipping empty space? No one is going to do that. They’re going to package them

You’re right, the analogy makes no sense. And what’s more, Dario didn’t make the analogy. This blogger took a partial quote out of context and constructed a blog post around it. If you listen to the interview, Dario is talking about the Tru

That’s not what Dario said. This guy Ben took a partial quote and then used it to construct a strawman. And hey look, he was successful, you bought it. Dario criticized the Trump admin policy of allowing Nvidia to sell advanced chipsets to

Yea that’s how regulations work. If the EU wanted both options then it should have specified that.

by stahtops 7mo ago
This is on the EU. Not bundling a charger with electronics that cost hundreds of dollars/euros is dumb, and having it be a requirement is even dumber. And yea I’m definitely still salty from the time I bought a 3DS and then got on a 14

If that’s what the EU wants then why didn’t they require it? If you’re forced to break the two components into two SKUs, that’s what you’re going to do- optimize. Not make a third SKU to add confusion. What if you’re out of stock of the cha

Sorry, but literally what are you talking about? If Ford sells Broncos, and Pete Hegseth says “I’m Batman, we want them with RPG launchers”, Ford is not required to create Bronco’s with RPG launchers. If Pete wants AI killer robots and AI d

If the T&C is agreed to up front, why shouldn't they be able to? If their client or potential client doesn't like the T&C, they can find another vendor.

Fascinating to cherry pick while trying to color an article as biased. Couldn’t even include an entire sentence? “The incidents included a collision with a fixed object at 17 miles per hour, a crash with a bus while the Tesla vehicle was st

Anecdata, my i3 range was not perceptibly reduced after ~8 years, 82k miles. But the pack was thermally managed, and from what I understand, also didn’t allow you to go to true 0 or true 100 SOC. Tesla lets you use it all, which gets bigger

You should answer for yourself why any of the three stopping methods would result in more or less tire wear than the other.

Plenty of ICE cars let you control the transmission, and not just MT. Engine braking is effectively the same as regen braking to tires. Regen is lossy, so there’s no incentive in slowing down to capture 1W just to speed up and spend 1.1W Po
