Just like it has been for the past like, five years or whatever. Sure. It's always on the horizon. (Read: Never gonna happen)

16ms of network latency has little to do with framerates.

Not a single reasonable person I talk to has faith in the currency so I'd say they're right. I don't give a shit about lambos, nobody gives a shit about bitcoin as a currency and t…

When will people realize that slapping yet another startup's tech stack onto yours isn't going to magically fix anything and in fact just adds complexity and points of failure. I'v…

So the more empty promises a CEO makes, the more valuable a company? And they say capitalism isn't broken. Have fun holding those bags I guess. I swear this is the logic of a small…

I frankly can't see how this is inciting a flamewar. Tesla has a pretty good record of being terrible at manufacturing. I've seen innumerable comments on this site where people mak…

What makes you think that Tesla would be able to do that, given their reputation of not being able to manufacture cars that don't fall apart immediately upon rolling off the factor…

So you still think it's a good thing that a private company should be handling important infrastructure and be able to say, on a whim, "Nop, we're not going to handle this because …

They're not literally saying to people, with no notice, that "no, we won't accept this mailpiece" so yes, I think they're doing better. Privatizing the mail doesn't magically preve…

So, anyone here still think it's a good idea to privatize postal delivery?

Damn, my point went impressively far over your head huh.

Ah right, because using other tried and tested methods like providing everyone better mental healthcare options are boring. Just make an app! Apps solve everything! Apps! Apps! App…

Yeah just keep throwing apps at every problem, that'll fix things eventually. lmao

You make it sound like the companies who run this shit are penniless, they're not, they're making millions of dollars of actual cash. There's no charity going on here.

Yes, actually.

> I feel like either I have gone crazy, or the world has. Occam's Razor time: capitalism doesn't work!

Who cares. That's where capitalism is now because letting it run rampant created and caused this. The bed was made, and now we all get to sleep in it.

So it's not real capitalism even though this industry is, quite literally, called "Venture Capitalism" okay.

Exactly this. You can't take "well this is happening but it's not real capitalism" even though everyone's calling it capitalism. It's capitalism. Capitalism is busted and rewards g…

This is just capitalism working as expected and - wow news flash - it is a broken system.

"If you’ve ever ... peaked at the dash of your obnoxious neighbor’s new Tesla…you’ve used OSM." 1. peeked, not peaked 2. Teslas do not use OSM for the on-screen maps. They use Goog…

Sorry but "rich people are miserable because they have too much money" is not a real problem and I feel exactly zero sympathy for anyone in that position.

Is this a joke? Please tell me you're joking.

The fact that it comes down to "the RIAA continues to have power" versus "we have to trust some billionaire to stop this" is disgusting, imo.
