If 100% of new cars were EVs then there might be feedback loops that accelerate the long tail. Like gas stations becoming leas profitable, less prolific, and more expensive. You might also see battery prices push the price of new cars well

The OS could draw an ugly censoring block over the sensitive information. That would protect the user's privacy when needed but also prevent apps mis-using the feature like this.

Just ban it. The only defense for our lives being flooded with advertising is that it helps markets be more efficient. But the most efficient gambling provider is the one that extracts the most money from its customers. Helping gambling com

Your illustration is really long winded. If you invested a billion dollars at a conservative 5% interest rate, you could employ 200 people at 250k a year on the interest alone.

You should watch Harrow, too. It’s a bit cliched as a police procedural, but they show a “TV version” of Brisbane: everyone lives in beautiful big Queenslanders, it’s sunny all the time, etc.

Do we? For commanding use cases articulating the action into English can feel more difficult than just doing it. Direct manipulation feels more primal to me.

The 0.001% case would really benefit from this though. For example it helps me to know if requests are failing or are just slow. There is a difference between the application trying (loading indicator) and failing (0% success).

Construct is great. I used it to make a game with my daughter. The way it jumps straight to the fun bits and then gives opportunities to learn about programming concepts is great. I couldn’t bring myself to pay the hefty monthly fee though,

I wonder why they didn’t do the obvious thing for a crowd sourced site and introduce a manual way to define this content. CMS’s for news publishers have distinct fields for link title and thumbnail images (appearing on the linking page) and

The legislation for social media and alcohol sales are completely different. There is no expectation of “reasonable effort” to not selling alcohol to minors. It’s flat out illegal and heavily penalised. Nor is there a requirement for compan

The legislation is literally > A provider of an age-restricted social media platform must take reasonable steps to prevent age-restricted users having accounts with the age-restricted social media platform. It doesn’t specifically requir

Where does the legislation say that? My reading is that it specifically says that social networks have to provide an alternative verification mechanism that doesn’t rely on government ID.

I’d argue that vested interests in oil and coal have done more to damage the US’s ability to invest like this than any regulatory red tape. Huge parts of America hate EVs. There is endless debate about nuclear vs clean energy vs coal, which

In my experience, most of the time this can be solved by resetting expectations. Once people learn that asking basic questions won’t open them up to mockery, things move a lot smoother for everyone. After all, a culture on 1:1 communication

But humans aren’t either. We have to install programs in people for even basic mathematical and analytical tasks. This takes about 12 years, and is pretty ineffective.

One thing that's struck me since Trump was announced the winner is how many Replublican voters are determined to invalidate the opinions of people who voted for the Democrats. I'm left leaning, but I think jobs in rural areas, inf

Can you please explain to a non-America what is that message is? I hear this refrain all the time and all I get is a vague insinuation that people are not being listened to.

The thing that takes this into scam territory for me is Elon’s comments that “we started with a person in a robot suit and improved dramatically year after year, so if you extrapolate this we’re going to have something extraordinary.” This

You have a meta header that sets a strong blue theme-color on the top of the browser. I feel like this might be biasing the results on iOS Safari because, compared to this blue, turquoise appears comparatively green. Edit: it looks like the

The problem is that we are told to reduce, reuse, recycle. In that order. Instead people are told there is a solution for recycling. They feel like the problem of plastic waste is solved. So they don’t make any efforts to reduce or reuse th

It was $800 so far . Your point is valid for normal usage patterns where there is a direct relationship between active users and cost. But an attack meant OP’s costs were sky rocketing even though usage was flat.
