Seems unlikely. All three market leaders have roughly equivalent products, even ignoring the Chinese models. Google is better vertically integrated, as well. They'll end up competi…

I think he's just young and awkward, as we all were at some point.

When you say own you mean fractionally, or founder level share only? The thing is even if you 'have' the equity share as an employee, you might never get liquidity. And (super obvi…

Ferries tilt and jolt in a way that predictable-path car lifts don't.

Most 'London' airports are outside of London and they still charge a ton for parking. Captive audience. This one is unusually cheap, even for Gatwick.

I don't think car alarms detect these kinds of vibrations. It's specifically tilt and more impactful stuff. Certainly, the alarm is never going off when I get my car back via the l…

Where was this? I've only seen it in London at very high end residential places. Even then it's rare. Most privately-owned public car parks in London are dilapidated and full of th…

That's not clear to me. > He convinced them the domain registered in my name and address really belonged to his club Convinced how? Often such things are via "knowing things" about…

Seems pretty relevant to a social engineering attack to have more correct pieces of info to give to support.

It's just traffic based: sales try to get you on a paid plan, or a higher tier. For some accounts they've given ultimatums ("pay for the higher tier by x date or we have to stop pr…

Only GitHub and Gitlab have a large intersection of features. You can probably choose around one from the rest of the list, if they happen to have what you need.

It's a bit of an inappropriate comparison though, since restaurants are ubiquitous and reasonable GitHub alternatives are vanishingly rare. People are quite rightly more troubled w…

> If you violated the GPL, and your project was taken down, how political is that? It's political, inherently, but it's not "only" political, or it's not necessarily political on t…

Rents are just amounts beyond what's needed to cause the thing to exist. At the point of copying something, it already exists. So payments for the right to do so aren't payments re…

You assume your premise. But plenty of "intellectual work" is already done without legal cover. It just typically attracts normal profits, rather than super-normal rent-seeking one…

Only if you assume it's sustainable until you personally die. But that seems in constant question even now.

I guess it depends on the framing: a scam perpetrated on whom? It's not a scam on active investors if you lock in a bump from guaranteed passive investors. The active investors wil…

Why can't steel be recycled or taken by force?

I think they do, actually. They just have a disconnect about it. But e.g. removing the triple lock is unpopular not just among those of an age to be affected by it.

> If there is a large war, those countries will prioritize domestic consumption and the UK will immediately stop being able to produce weapons. Same with the iron we'd need to make…

Are they seeding it with incompetent middle management as a psy-op?

Don't most of these contingencies apply to steel in the first place?

Farming subsidies are one of the most criticized parts of the EU. My comment isn't in support of it. But even so, subsidy is quite different from compulsory purchase. The question …

> Steel comes from iron, which you can't grow Right, and where is the iron coming from in the scenario where we can't import steel?
