Look closer.

This is why you always keep separate savings accounts away from a spouse.

Although you can’t sell it for a year, you can still sell someone an option to buy it after a year has passed for some agreed upon price and mileage. Or maybe you can do a lease-to-own type deal.

You cannot do whatever the hell you want with it, what is wrong with you?

You agree to a terms and service and if you violate them you will be punished by having your car blacklisted and blocked from superchargers, updates, service at Tesla dealerships, warranty void, etc. Accept it.

Oh if only there was a way to combine the natural wonder of hiking but with the speed and comfort of a vehicle…

Playing Super Mario on an NES entirely by using radio transmission to your TV is wild.

The inability to write suggestive or violent scenes or even have a simple fight between characters makes it difficult to do any interesting role play. The frustrating thing is that it feels like it could easily be done, but the creators are bound by some puritanical sense of moral obligation. I hate this!

If she had said no for some other reason why would he come up with that diamond story instead?

He got a diamond ring later and she accepted. Didn’t waste.

She eventually accepted once he got a proper ring.

Diamonds are worthless, but reject them at your own peril. When my friend proposed to his girlfriend of 3 years, because the ring didn’t have a diamond she said no.

I’m skeptical. Yea the images might look a bit different, but this could be due to colorization making it easier to see snow vs dirt and grass. The zoom on one of the images isn’t the same, you can’t just zoom on the one area that has glacier and crop out the rest of the water, and wide angles make everything look more dramatic. In real life it could just be a few acres. I’ve taken photos in small lakes that look like massive oceans, with barely a shoreline in sight.

Not really. Offshoring and outsourcing jobs has been a threat since the early 2000s and has never really manifested the way people claimed it would. High paying jobs are still here.

And if it ever did become a serious threat, we could just resort to blatant racism and stereotyping against foreign workers and that is enough to kick the can down the road a bit longer. Many companies simply will not hire offshore Indians because they believe they do inferior work compared to Americans, and Chinese are corporate spies/leakers.

This is pretty common with supercars, there’s a “right of first refusal” where if you want to sell in the first year, you can only sell to the dealer.

Usually though it’s not enforceable aside from threats of blacklisting you from being able to order new vehicles. In practice I’m not sure how true that actually is if you have deep pockets.

The only interesting thing about Tesla doing this is that not only could they blacklist you, but they could blacklist the vehicle too to prevent it from getting service or even software updates, discouraging any buyers from buying it. Maybe ban it from superchargers. Tesla is very petty. Perhaps this will become common practice as cars get more connected to central services.

The internal issues of the US are of no concern to other nations, the only thing they care about is what the US can do for them and the rest of the world.

Even if true, still a far cry from the typical Silicon Valley brogrammers making pitch decks.

True “hackers” don’t give a fuck about startups. Hackers are interested in how things work and how they can be exploited to do things or grant access to forbidden data. Real hackers back in the late 90s early 00s casually did things that would make a lot of today’s “hackers” blanche in the face and wet themselves at the thought of computer crime, or at least grope around for a downvote button. It was a thrilling era for freaks and geeks. Ever found yourself scrolling down a stolen CSV full of credit card numbers and full billing info? It’s like snorting a line of coke. As a teen I once stole $22k, spent several years looking over my shoulder expecting to be shot or cuffed.

At some point the term “hacker” was co-opted to mean anyone writing code. These Silicon Valley tech entrepreneurs aren’t really “hackers”: they’re businessmen with some software engineering skills. But that doesn’t sound nearly as edgy or cool as calling yourself a hacker.

Much of humanity depends on the US. You save the US, you save the world.

We need those benefits for the US.

Generic is good enough. Overtraining is bad.

No, that’s exactly what they want to prevent: pissants who game the exam and then go on to practice law.

If you’ve done law school, that should be good enough. No need to pin everything on one exam.

A man is dead from some software engineer’s faulty programming.

Why would they train you? It’s the responsibility of your parent company and for all they know you’ve already been thoroughly trained for active shootings in numerous other companies you’ve worked at.

You are not their problem.

No dynamic island, periscope telephoto lens, USB-C. We are far from peak phone.

Better phones stop being made.

Why would someone buy this? What can you do with a Rhenium ingot?

A replaceable battery just means I’m going to dump a phone with a replaceable battery into an e-waste landfill whenever I want a brand new phone.

I will absolutely not keep a phone any longer just because the battery can be replaced.

If the feature is removed, unattractive individuals will cry out that this will give genuinely attractive individuals a large advantage over them, widening the beauty gap.

The genie is already out of the bottle, you simply cannot take away a feature like this that people have already gotten used to and not expect a backlash.

There’s no good decision to make here.

Still, a society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they will never sit in.
