Musk is not nearly the genius some of his most faithful would like to believe.

Genetics is difficult to beat, and while some of it is a matter of willpower, it’s a matter of how much willpower you can live with for the rest of your life.

In this situation what Epic is trying to do is demonstrate that Apple’s app development/oversight and hardware development are indelibly linked. Apple has argued that it isn’t operating anticompetitively by saying that apps are one branch of its business and the hardware is a separate one. Epic is using this as a way…

The techno-priest is being attacked, to the comments section Tesla nerds! Let them sully not the robo-altar!

Tesla owner here. FSD is a scam and a sham. Autopilot is barely good enough where I’m okay using it on roads, if and only if I don't mind it randomly flipping shit and giving passengers heart attacks because a road dips before a bridge... 

another classic gizmodo Kickstarter writeup. no critical analysis anywhere, just borrowed copy to run an ad for a product that doesn’t even exist yet. It’s like, worse than your partnered ads because there’s a 75-80% chance anyone funding this thing will just lose their money

Well put. I also believe that all politicians should be forced to live on the average American’s salary, even if they have money prior to gaining office, it should be held or something until they leave. While it probably wouldn’t completely eliminate it, this would at least deincentivize the power hungry sociopaths…

Nope, sorry. When poor people lose it’s always “You knew the risks,” but when the rich lose it’s a conspiracy?

Can we just start building nuclear power plants again, please?! It’s not a solution in and of itself, but you’ve gotta start somewhere.

Definitely not only apply to Apple, but 30% is also definitely a huge, huge cut for the service provided and totally arbitrary versus how that cut should be implemented.

The fact that every major platforms asks for 30% or close to doesn’t mean that Epic (or any other publisher/dev) should just shrug and move on. Like…

No matter your view on this, I do appreciate the fact that this 30% cut for basically doing nothing (and from a company that sells its cheap charging cables 25 CAD$ a piece) is being questioned by an entity that has they power to do something against it, even if let’s be honest, they do it for themselves first and…

Wouldn’t it be “The toilet calling the urinal yellow”?

it’s not bricking in the traditional sense.  bricking means unfixable.  in this case, you could reformat the drive and reinstall Windows 10.  use your Microsoft account credentials and you have almost everything back.  the only stuff that wouldn’t be back would be stuff that wasn’t backed up to the cloud.

It’s joanna tha same that wrote an article saying one drive and office online are paid services, never fixed even if literally everyone told this in the comments.

I had the exact same thought, though to give the researchers the benefit of the doubt, it’s possible they totally considered this and accounted for it but no news outlets reported it. The full paper linked in this article appears to be free to access, so I’m going to read through it at some point and report back. If…

I agree, it is basically just optimal foraging in the presence of exploitable people.  I don’t think they understand it as economics.

Celebrity worship will always be a thing and has been since before recorded history. It’s just a damn shame it’s mostly for useless people.

I don’t come away feeling like I am doing anything wrong or they are doing anything right. I come away feeling that our entire economy is broken and needs a massive correction.

By actively dismissing this aspect of the story, he’s denying, or at least highly discouraging, the audience from playing along. “This one’s too hard for you. Just enjoy the explosions...” Except in this case,the explosions weren’t THAT enjoyable. The effects, while expertly executed, are often hard to detect, being…
