What is a common use case for these kind of phones?

May I ask why this is “most depressing thing I have read today”. Concerns about misinformation? Compute/energy use? Creative work Replaced by AI?

The biggest problem with Europe is the lack of innovation. But that was not an issue before. Before the 2000s, Europe was very very strong in telecom (Ericsson, Nokia, Siemens, Alcatel), industrial technology, the auto industry, mobile phon

I am trying to say that they cannot claim that this deal will “threaten our journalistic independence”. It is just kinda funny (and sad) that they claim that while only 32% of U.S. adults said they trust The New York Times as a source of ne

And that's the problem with current journalism. They use terms like "facts" and "proven" way too loosely. Everything is way too biased.

The only thing I know is that journalism stopped being independent and unbiased a long, long time ago.

I do not know if xcancel is going to survive this :( As far as I understand, people use XCancel because they do not like X (and Elon) so do not want to give money or traffic to X. But they still want to read and share content posted there.

Selling backup for data that is stored in the cloud (whether selling solution as a provider or selling any solution (even free one) internally to your team), is one of the hardest things in the world.

So it might be that life started inside rocks (with tiny amounts of water) deep underground and not in the water on the surface.

Let’s do other way. If it is true that energy efficient tiers will save money then there will no need to have a law. We could do just some marketing campaign and people will be: aha I love money so let’s save money. But it is not about savi

The energy efficient tires have much longer wet braking distance. And they last less (for similar priced tires). Anyway, saying how it will save money is not right way how to promote this (it is really hard to predict all 2nd order effects

The main problem and challenge with all these regulations is enforcement. How are they actually going to enforce them? The U.S. already has very strict rules against unsolicited calls, yet I still get around 20 spam calls a day saying thing

I have one broader point. Unfortunately, some people have started calling everyone they disagree with a fascist. Elon Musk is a fascist. Peter Thiel is a fascist. Marc Andreessen is a fascist. And list goes on.. But these people (and many o

My biggest problem with “tax the rich” is: then what? Build another “high-speed train”? Spend the money on some fake nonprofit run by the same rich people?

It might actually be a better idea to require a short, in-person civic knowledge test every two years as a condition for voting. If you fail, you can take it again, but you cannot vote until you pass. I’m only half joking.

I guess he just failed the test. Maybe the bar should be 55.

I would strongly discourage anyone from making things up. I have participated in these exercises, and many people simply said, “I really have nothing to share that would interest you.” Those were the people others respected the most. They m

It is a long blog post, but the controversy seems to center on DHH’s language and reasoning about Roma people. My reading is that he used those examples deliberately to raise a broader issue: some people are tired of being told to ignore pr

I do the same. Only very (awesome) good and very bad experiences are widely shared. The problem is that creating a truly great (awesome) memorable support experience happens less than 5% of the time (as you said it is rare). And that experi

I disagree. But that is that what I learned. Sadly, it is hard to convince people of this unfortunate and depressing fact: customer support is nice, but in the grand scheme of things, it usually does not matter that much. Everybody has to l

The key point of the article is this: > In other words, the best approach for us is what most companies do. Every inexperienced entrepreneur starts with a promise that their support will not be terrible like Google, Comcast, or other big

Over 90% of new vehicles sold in the U.S. already support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. So it is kinda expected to be there: if it is not there then a car needs to be something special. So I think buyers don’t even ask for it because they

I think that can work if you narrow the issue only to medical advice. But trust is also eroded by completely unrelated things, like “Iraq has WMDs” and other stories pushed by our governments. Or even the recent argument that we need ID to

If these mRNA vaccines had not been pushed or mandated, more people would probably think they are safe: there will be no need for any of these reviews. But because they were pushed by the government, many people do not trust them. Sure, the

Meaning, it creates one more hurdle for businesses. I think that is an objective statement. Is it bad? That depends on your point of view. If you are pro-business, then yes, the bill is bad. If you are not pro-business and you are pro-worke

Michigan has relatively business-unfriendly laws and regulations. Apparently their tax system is quite favorable to businesses, but taxes are only one (small) part of the equation. The taxes matter more once a company is making a lot of mon

I somehow deleted my original comment. I actually made mistake. There are 16 fields: * 12 matter fields (6 quarks + 6 leptons) * 1 gluon field (an 8-component SU(3) field) * 1 weak field (a 3-component SU(2) field) * 1 hypercharge field (a
