This is the main reason I never plan on buying one. I really hate all of the car-driven-by-a-computer functionality. I don’t want to drive a car where an internal computer can take…

> consumers are never satisfied because they have wrong expectations Consumers are satisfied with buying ICE vehicles, which is why 90-something percent of them do just that when b…

If you want people to choose one thing, then you want it to be better than or at least as good as the alternatives. The idea that EVs need to be comparable to ICE vehicles isn’t ju…

I agree that it usually doesn’t fly with clients, unless you already have a good relationship and track record with them. But I don’t think it’s supposed to be a trick. On the clie…

I’m not a big fan of the “my opinion is fact” or “your opinion is wrong” headlines. They can be mildly funny in the right context, but it’s been done so much that they’re just a bi…

I think it’s an excellent comment, and I’m very happy with it.

I’m happy for people to keep writing M$. It’s a great way to quickly identify comments to scroll past.

To say that some quality is embedded in a culture isn’t even close to the same as saying all people originating from that culture possess that quality. The extent to which India’s …

I would say that your suggestion that grown adults should be absolved of responsibility for their own decisions is actually a quintessentially childish idea. The fact that you are …

I was going to comment basically this. Everything you could possibly want to know about how LI systems work is documented by the vendors online. It’s really just network interfaces…

The main subject of the article seems to have come to an amicable agreement with Nintendo, but for all of the “copyright infringement enabling tools” that do get forcibly taken dow…

You really have to be doing huge levels of throughput before you start to struggle with scaling MySQL or Postgres. There’s really not many workloads that actually require strict AC…

This only matters if it's important to you that everybody believe the same truths, which I would suggest shouldn't be important to you. Some people will believe one thing, another …

Scottish history would be far too dangerous to teach today. Undermines the narrative that all white people have a detestable history of colonisation and exploitation. The history c…

I’m not sure I would call it a dark pattern, it’s the stated goal of the product. To remove as many expenses as possible, and turn as many things into paid options as they can. The…
