Apple should just buy Masimo. Market cap of $6B. Buy it, then sell off the professional health division that mainly handles hospital grade equipment and automation. Keep the personal care and telehealth IP. Say it’s close to a 50/50 split between the two (just a wild guess). So the purchase was $3B, but comes with…

Even if this ban were to hold, Apple’s revenue wouldn’t see a hit until Q2, possibly? Every retail store not owned by Apple had the Watch and there were no limits on sales. Warehouses full of Watches, already booked as revenue by Apple at Amazon, Best Buy, Costco...

I'm in the U.K. This still has the unpleasant whiff of money about it.

If any of you guys buy this, please casually send $300 my way as well.

Gods, don’t make a ludicrously big deal out of a throwaway internet comment.

“Poland isn’t a nation who uses horse cavalry in an age of mechanized armies anymore” This part of your comment is based on a myth about what has happened during the Charge at Krojanty, used by Nazi aka German propaganda during WW2. Please don’t repeat Nazi propaganda!

Those last points are can be true and I get your concern. However the repairs weren’t done by Paul from account’s cousin. Even if their identities aren’t known (and this isn’t unheard of even in the legit side of the software industry) having the technical skill to complete this task, which is verifiable and…

With planes I believe airlines have their own maintenance crews, they do it themselves.

Haven’t read the 404 media piece, but Ars has some bits that are ... pretty damning

That “they” has a spokesman who’s talking to the press.  Which is more communication than the actual manufacturer is doing...

You get that they solved a software issue, right? They didn’t hire hackers to work on the mechanical elements of the train. A different company performed the actual repairs and hired the hackers, likely to get the computer to recognize those repairs without inputting some type of corporate authenticity certification.…

Nah, leave it up to local municipalities to make their call. I’ve had countless hours of my life wasted yearly due to having to wait at intersections at red lights where absolutely zero cars passed through the intersection for the entirety of the light cylce as I was waiting for green. I’d add ban the bs left turn…

Ummm, the government would have spend all the billions on R&D to “do it cheaper” than Space X, which means they wouldn’t be doing it cheaper unless you’re suggesting the government commander Space X’s decades of work and not pay them for it. There’s no such thing as a charity space program. And the most ludicrous…

So you have no answers to your own questions but you are still certain you are correct nonetheless. Capitalism sucks, socialism for the win, etc. But since there’s nobody else out there doing it even remotely better let alone cheaper at this time, Musk deserves some credit. The US and EU space agencies were some of…

Space X is way cheaper and effective than NASA and the EU and every other nation. The lack of competition in the space industry for too many decades allowed government agencies to atrophy and go through brain drain then Musk comes along talking about Mars and offering jobs that pay way more than the government does…

*gestures broadly at your nothing then points out that one failure doesn’t negate several successes*

Except the hundreds of thousands of Teslas they’ve built aren’t promises, they exist. The thousands of Starlink satellites they’ve already launched aren’t promises, they exist and the system works. In fact the Ukrainian government got an expedited, free shipment of Starlink terminals allowing their government to…

Fairly sure the person most likely meant to say, “Everywhere I look I see Teslas” not that almost every car is a Tesla. But we’re online so you can never underestimate a person’s intelligence too much. 

Ah yes, before Musk came along and destroyed all the trolley cars to space that I fondly remember floating weightlessly in with the family enjoying the majesty of the cosmos. Space has always been the domain of the rich and powerful.

He’s definitely a garbage person. That doesn’t mean his accomplishments are also garbage. I mean if trolling somebody trying to save trapped kids as a pedophile doesn’t make one a garbage person I don’t know what does but I also know I’ve watched two rockets land themselves simultaneously and I’ve seen his Tesla now…
