Well that's certainly good news! And I admit I wasn't aware of that announcement.
Oh, Musk is way too powerful and totally nuts, he's gone off the deep end. Also he's gone full asshole, there's hardly anything redeemable about him these days.
That said, I'd drive any car that was given to me for free, and I won't pretend otherwise.
Also, despite Musk, Tesla has done amazing things for the auto industry, I'm extremely pleased to see this shift to EVs across the board.
That's impressive, or should I say scary? 150w is a lot of heat to dissipate... I hope those aren't laptop chips...
Capitalism does not breed innovation, it steals it.
That does make me wonder though, which countries do breed the most innovation?
What's the startup capitol of the world? How does one set of national policies stack up against another when it comes to the number of patents or successful businesses per Capita?
As much as the sentiment of your statement feels right, I wonder if the numbers back it up, or if it's more truthiness than truth?
And to be clear, I'm really not trying to throw shade here, I'm actually curious, questioning my own preconceptions.
Ok, so let's say you're a performer and from time to time people yell something at you while you're on stage. Given the context, let's divide all comments into two categories.
Commentary on your performance. These could be statements like "wwooooooo!", "you suck!", "I love you!", "get off the stage!" or "play free bird".
Other bullshit. This includes any comments not about your music or the performance currently in progress. Basically anything off topic or not covered by category 1.
If someone yelled "do you support genocide?", what category would you put that in?
Now once you've answered that question, I want you to remember that your answer doesn't actually matter at all either way. Because in the end, a performer on stage is never obligated to respond to anything yelled at them from the floor.
But you're right I guess, "political issue" was the wrong way to frame it. I should have said "other bullshit" (as laid out above).
It was both. It was a rhetorical question, which are technically questions while being functionally statements.
It's worth noting though, arguing this semantic point doesn't change anything or win any argument, it's just pedantic.
The headline should read:
Despite best efforts and all odds, ISPs find themselves on the right side of history.
Well, I used to have an area of expertise... Then we adopted a kid.
Kids are hard. Kids who had years of neglect and trauma... can be a lot harder. I love him very much, but he takes up so much of my time and energy, I just don't have any time for my own stuff any more.
Also, my field (IT) has gotten weird as computers have gotten weird. Nobody uses computers any more, they use "devices". And these devices all suck. They're hard (or impossible) to actually back up, you can't deploy software to them in an organized way, they're a security nightmare, and the interface just isn't as easy to use as a freaking mouse and keyboard.
And if you want to talk about actual computers, those suck more every year too. Oh the hardware is improving by the day, but the software hasn't been cooperative in years. Always online operating systems, fake settings menus to keep the user away from the real settings menus... Actually, nevermind, I don't even want to talk about OSs, they make me too angry.
And then there's all the software packages that would rather be services than what they actually are, a product. Poor Adobe, just not filthy rich enough yet...
Anyway, it gets harder to do IT as computers get shittier, and I am falling behind, because I hate it.
Yeah, I've got one of those too. Plex is great.
That's a bonkers take. It's the largest and most powerful rocket in history and it's already made orbit. The raptor engines are the first full flow staged combustion engines to ever be put into a production rocket (This is a holy grail of rocketry). All estimates suggest that it's also probably much cheaper to build than any of the other heavy lift rockets. And that was accomplished while also building full reusability into the design...
The work they've done is nothing short of astounding. Which makes your take come off as either insane, blind, or biased.
I'm a bit curious too. My theory is that it may have come down to licensing and trademark issue. Since the game used actual car brands and their logos and such, they may have had some agreement over their usage and perhaps the period of that agreement ended. It's worth noting that the game was available from several different stores, and it became unavailable everywhere as far as I know.
