> Why would you take your phone with you when you run? So you can listen to music? And most people don't have a smart watch. It's fairly common to see people running with a phone s…

Are Mac users more likely to pay? Likely yes. Are the total number of Mac users who pay higher than the total number of Windows users who pay? I kind of doubt it. Windows market sh…

> Android only really was competitive for a very short window of time Complete non-sense. iOS and Android are equivalent. Users do not chose Android or iOS because one or the other…

I wonder if that changes in countries where the main language is written right to left?

Completely irrelevant to my point. The point was just this: you don't need $100 trillion to actually exist for that market cap to be possible.

> Like spacex isn't going to be the world's first 100 trillion dollar company because there isn't that much money. That doesn't really matter. As we saw with crypto valuations, mar…

So the rate goes from say 4% to 4.16%? That's still unimpressive. If you mean from 4% to 8%, then that's actually raising by 100%

Maybe I'm missing something but when would the 500 geese instances ever be stack allocated in Rust? That comparison seems unfair, the lifetime of that kind of object isn't going to…

That wasn't what was implied then. If old media continues playing then it's still "forever".

> BluRay no, because your player's keys can be revoked when you pop in a new disc Wait what? How? How is that possibly legal?

And who is the customer? Healthcare market is completely distorted. Price isn't linked to value because the person that uses a service is usually not the person directly paying for…

How does KYC tell a company whether you have bad intentions or not? Let's say you work in a consultancy doing security research. On paper that looks good right? How easy would it b…

What makes the diagnosis "worth" $100? Right now it requires a highly paid human which sets a floor on the cost. If there's competition from LLMs it's going to drive down the cost.…

Symlinks are a pain if you're on Windows, I'd rather not bother with them.

> But the sentiment of nuclear depends purely on which party you vote for, I don't think the language itself has an impact. People aren't really partisan like that in Switzerland. …

Switzerland is not part of the European economic area, aka EEA.

MRIs by themselves no, but depending on what you want to actually see you need to inject a contrast agent which is probably not something you want to do too frequently.

> pressing up on a new console doesn't bring you a command from history, which Linux terminals and 3rd party Windows ones have been doing for decades, even Powershell does that. I'…

What good is advertising if they can't actually sell the product?

Serving Opus 4.8 isn't worth a trillion+ valuation. The valuation of the AI labs is based on continual improvements of their models. Open weight models are going to catch up to Opu…

How many entreprise customers that aren't in the defense sector currently have R&D departments entirely composed of US citizens? And what does it mean for indirect access to the mo…

> Back-end improvements (if done right), should improve platform speed, stability, scalability etc. which should have revenue implication Depends entirely on the domain. If you're …

I prefer being alone but also feel worse after prolonged periods alone. Preferring something doesn't mean it's good for you.

> Those last few generations have no technology, they're huddled around in the dark trying not to starve. At that point, the birth rate would quickly rise again, no? Because if you…

Why do billionaires keep working, keep amassing more money, donate to politicians, buy media companies? They want influence and power. Being at the top of a hierarchy of millions, …
