Why would you want that?

He grew up very poor. Most of what he owned was probably second hand.

In his book, he describes running an old school mp3 pirate business.

Listen to it on audiobook. 100% worth it.

Except history disproves this over and over.

People get stuck in what they know, but eventually they break out of it, and usually it’s a small thing that takes them over the tipping point.

Thinking that everyone on the planet is dumb except yourself just proves you’re not looking into the facts.

PC games are pretty much locked down to the original purchaser. Console games could be bought and sold used. Once I was done with a console generation I just sold everything on ebay and made back a bunch of my money (especially since I bought most of it used as well).

PC games are a whole different beast. But now that most console games are locked to an account… there’s really no benefit of them anymore. Just get a PC for your living room and install SteamOS (or similar).

It works until it doesn’t. Companies can push prices for a little while, maybe a whole generation, but one day people decide it’s not worth it and it all crashes down suddenly.

Happens over and over again, could be the new era of PC gaming that Valve is pushing will tip them over, could be a new generation of Nintendo games. Could be a new company from China.

Big players do this every time, then the CEO says “nobody could have predicted that the 6th price hike was the end of the brand!”

Meh, I kinda randomly decide whenever I make a run. I’d say most of my cable runs are A, but I definitely have a bunch of B too.

Just depends on how I’m feeling that day.

What??? You mean to tell me that people in <year> have complained about how people in <same year> are violent and worse than previous people?

Yeah, that’s why any city that has a professional sport playing somewhere immediately declares martial law and implements a citywide curfew until it’s clear the celebrations are over.

Most teams are discouraged from winning anything significant. Cities literally bribe the officials to keep their teams out of any championships.

Calibre let’s you save multiple versions of files. As long as they don’t go out of their way to delete the epub version, you can have as many formats of the same book as you want, grouped under the same item.

There’s a big difference between the “sensor said it was at 100%” and “Tesla claims the sensor said it was 100%.”

Tesla claims the sensor said he had his foot on the pedal.

Bets aren’t 1-1.

You can have one person with insider information win a seemingly impossible bet against 1000 people taking the other side.

The person who wins takes in a ton of money, and Polymarket takes a cut.

Each of those 1000 people all thought they had an easy win, but the only people winning these bets are people who either are the people making the decisions, or who are in the room with the people making those decisions.

Most people I know bought records, but used reel-to-reel to copy them.

Later it was cassettes to copy them.

Never saw anyone try to copy the physical record itself.

The article says the car swerved into the garage, which means the car took control of the steering wheel and turned it off the road into the house.

Tesla says the cars should be able to drive straight on the road without driver input. This car took control and drove it into a wall.

That is Tesla’s fault, not the driver. Heck, based on the information here, even if the driver was 100% paying attention, they might not have had the reaction time to stop the car.

That’s a bad take.

Tesla built the system, and advertised it to provide a specific service. That service is faulty. Tesla is at fault.

You can’t expect every consumer to just understand that the company selling the product is outright lying. That’s putting the responsibility in the wrong hands, and absolving corporations of lying to the public.

Anything thrown up just creates a more elliptical orbit, not a higher orbit. There would have to be a second thrust at the top to bring it into an actual higher orbit.

It would still deorbit fairly quickly because the lowest part of that ellipse would still degrade quickly.

And human tissues, and it’s been shown to be safe in phase I trials.

So saying “in mice” undersells where they are at.

Negative, it only gets irradiated if the water comes in contact and gets contaminated with radioactive material. Just like the cooling water that flows out of a nuclear power station is not more radioactive than the water that goes in.

I have 2 gig symmetric fiber and it costs $70 a month.

Speed tests confirmed that I’m actually getting 2 up 1.8 down consistently.

I have my whole house wired with cat 5e and it’s pretty nice.
