And perhaps intelligence is more of an indicator of agency.
You are out of touch, less young people have their licenses than ever before. Car ownership, maintenance, and insurance are expensive. There is a huge market for people who would rather hail a robotaxi than buy a car. Companies like uber and lyft wouldn't be generating billions in revenue if that weren't the case.
You think this (incorrectly) because you're being either willfully ignorant or just naive. Apple have more insight on their devices and consumers than you could possibly imagine.
Apple know that practically no one connects their iPhone to a computer through the entire lifetime of the phone (less than 1%). So there is no reason they should include a USB3/4 cable when the only thing people do is charge their phone with it. It's added cost, and waste.
Likewise, the ports on their laptops often go unused. They collect anonymized data on how often people plug something in to any port on their device. They know what people are doing, and what is worth spending money on. There is a reason they got rid of their extra I/O to begin with.
I think Elon's bet on driverless vehicles is stupid. It just won't work outside cities. Car culture in America isn't going anywhere.
If you're looking for things to judge a man by, let it be his own actions. Project 2025 is the Harris campaign grasping at straws in lieu of having any meaningful policy proposals. An attempt to sidestep the realities of the Biden admins reckless spending, most of which she voted on.

I would hope in light of this new evidence, you would reconsider trusting whatever source told you that lie. But lets be honest you're going to look at this and dismiss it.
People who fall for propaganda this blatant genuinely concern me. Truly useful idiots.
It's typical of Apple's hubris, to throw in all these features they think people will want, meanwhile if the headset had no cameras and was just a display strapped to your head for $1000, it likely would have sold a lot better. But they didn't want a VR device for whatever reason.
At the same time you could blame discretionary spending being at some of the lowest levels in a decade.
Real funny seeing a bunch of web devs on HN talk shit about Tesla's engineers too lmao
Trump's 2016/2020 campaigns did less of these older methods of finding votes as, believe it or not, they were a fairly grassroots movement driven largely by the internet and rallies
Degoogle your life everyone.
The ganges is filled with bodies and trash unrelated to anything we are doing here in the US.
If you're working with more exotic or engineering materials, it can still require a bit of work to dial in. But the most common like PLA, ABS, PETG will print without issue.
The point is if you cannot assure anonymity with 100% certainty, you are simply setting people up.
I don't want to hear a thing until the largest polluters are reprimanded by world government first (india, SEA, africa). I have never thrown a piece of trash onto the ground let alone into a body of water to end up in a turtles stomach.
Not that I think the Fed's would blow their cover to hunt down people buying drugs but still seems stupid to trust.
I miss when writers made their bias less obvious.
I cancelled prime years ago because if it's some mass produced chinese white label products you can get the same thing on ebay for cheaper let alone the aforementioned 3 for dirt cheap provided you don't care to wait a couple weeks.
Everyone is hawking the same slop, and although amazon can get it to me in a day, that's often not worth the premium.
They recently built a cafe deep inside carlsbad caverns. If food was an issue, that seems a dumb idea.
