An argument that someone could make, although maybe it's a bit logically suspect, is that Twitter is losing money for every user, and using Twitter is costing Musk more money than it's generating for him.
I've often thought this is some kind of market inefficiency that I don't quite have the vocabulary or expertise to describe. You don't get 5x more space or service. Shouldn't it be roughly proportional to how much more it costs the airline, plus some extra profit on top? Instead it seems like an absolutely massive premium.
That makes so much sense. Back when I had a rooted device, I was once blocked from using... the Instant Pot app. Yes, a recipe app. It gave me a message saying something vague about security.
I think it's too difficult to prove in most cases. Like if somebody is riding one on the sidewalk. I don't think GPS is exact enough to definitively say whether they were on the sidewalk on in the road 6 feet away, especially if there's tall buildings around to interfere with the signal.
When talking about the voltage of US residential service, and the devices that use it, 240 and 220, and 120 and 110 are functionally the same. The house theoretically has 240v and 120v power, but voltage may sag throughout the home's wiring, and some outlets will a real voltage reading lower than 240/120.
This doesn't sound like much of a barrier to me. If you're a human training the LiDAR system, couldn't you just consult the image or video to help label whatever the LiDAR is seeing?
I think the explanation that adheres to Occam's Razor is that he was just an awful person to work for or with, and he abused his privilege as founder. That's not a difficult thing for me to believe.
> I’m not sure how anyone here could say that James O’Keefe did anything wrong in this case, unless your political ideology overrides your rationality.
There was all the other stuff about mistreating employees and misuse of company funds.
But would supporting a Linux client bring in more money than it costs? I remember reading claims from other software projects that Linux was an insignificant percentage of their user base but a majority of their support tickets.
I don't think LLM companies need permission to scrape Reddit. It's ironic because Reddit is basically saying "you can't profit off user content for free, that's what we're doing!"
We have a long way to go. In the US I think bikes are still primarily seen as toys for either children or upper middle class adults. Car culture is deeply ingrained here, and discouraging personal automobile use is going to be seen by a large part of the population as practically anti-American. There's also the fact that we have a flood of low quality and outright dangerous electric micro-mobility devices catching on fire.
On the hopeful side, I see e-bikes as being part of the wave towards sustainability, a swing back towards childhood independence, and increased interest in fitness. We'll see how far it goes, but there's going to be resistance every step of the way.
Am I naive for wondering why Amazon would allow this? What's in it for them? It hurts the customer, it hurts their brand, it breaks the illusion that you own the book, it breaks trust in buying books on Kindle. If I were above the Kindle division on the org chart I would be furious.
> Cruise will also disengage in heavy rain or snow, with the system saying the sensor is dirty. It wouldn’t be so bad if traditional cruise control would keep working without the active braking assist, etc. but unfortunately it’s all or nothing.
A previous car I had, a 2019 CRV, did this too. I understand that it could be a very dangerous situation if the driver forgets or doesn't realize they're only using the dumb cruise control instead of the adaptive cruise control they're used to.
I like the attempt to scare the reader by pointing out the barcode is unencrypted and anybody with an simple scanner could get it. But if they're holding your ID I'm pretty sure they can already read all of that same info printed on the front of the card.
I use a similar setup just for near my cat litter box. Almost totally eliminates pet smell. I have an AC Infinity fan I really like, it's very quiet on the lowest 3 of 8 speeds. The filter is just some generic brand. I never want to own pets without this level of air filtration again.
I use multiple locks when I have to leave mine outside for an extended period. Like 2 U-locks, a cable and possibly a padlock. An angle grinder will still go through all that, but I'm hoping a thief would just pick an easier target.
I don't get why they can't bake something into these grants that says if the company fails to deliver on their promises the government can claw back the money. It seems like I've read a lot of stories over the years of telecoms failing to deliver results after being given grants or large tax breaks.
If you went to some public place with a fairly representative sample of the population, like a supermarket or something, and asked 100 people about that phrase, how many do you think would know provenance of it?
I think I remember reading a Reddit post once about a girl whose boyfriend would say things in real life like "can we get some f's in the chat boys". Things that were clearly very niche and would either be completely unintelligible to the audience or at best sound out of place. I think it's a matter of reading the room.
I don't even think they can do that. You still need some authority to say "possession of this NFT actually means the person owns this thing". But if you need to have a trusted authority to say that why do you need the blockchain?
For the majority of people on earth, it has not changed their lives in any meaningful way. Their lives may in fact be indistinguishable from an alternate reality where crypto was never invented.
