This is the wrong aporoach.

You should build a mockup site, use it to raise 2M$ for the startup behind it you just created arguing you’re about to collect personal data about the age, education level and place, curiosity, etc. with overinflated numbers on their real values.

Then you hire a bench of students, or better: launch a competition for the best “fact you were told that turned out wrong” with a 1k$ prize that you eventually give to some biz angel’s investrent adviser’s child.

Once data are acquired, claim the company is now worth 10M$ and raise that much in a new round.

Finally, sell the company for 20M$ either to a tech company that will enshitify, paywall and crater it.

You still don’t have your website, but now you’re rich and you no longer care about these things.

Am I the only one who thinks that you could really please a lot of gamers by just taking old popular games with updated graphics, music, sounds and release as they were?

The beauty of it is they seem to mix a bench of definitions and forms they don’t understand and assume they can mean whatever sounds convenient to them.

They quote dictionaries definitions as if they were legally binding to their interpretation.

Such a mix of abysmal ignorance and supreme confidence is incredible!

At last constant surveillance is deemed a problem, which is why ultra-rich have their privacy protected, while you, peons, keep being monitored.

That’s why you get “don’t put living animals in the microwave oven” in the instructions.

If Tesla didn’t explicitely wrote “don’t put your f***ing finger in the way on purpose after multiple attempts to close it!” he may have a chance.

He will plead a trauma from the loss of trust in his beloved car brand and the credibility damage on his Youtube channel and ask for M$.

Unfortunately, you need to add this about all of us supporting them: “buying the cheapest product over buying the fairest produced”, therefore comforting them exploiting labor to reduce the cost is what we collectively want.

So first kill Trump, then kill some of the SC judges, so that they won’t oppose you when you move to make the president bound to uphold the law.

Make sense. In its inception, capitalism was putting work as the source of value creation. Rental is about asking money while nothing is produced.

The message is all confusing today because the people talking about the value of hard work are actually the ones who want to get huge returns from investment while paying as little as possible for the work done. Their end goal is to avoid working themeselves. Smith would despise them just the same.

They’re not “defeated”. They got exactly what they wanted. People leaving without having to lay them off through attrition.

Now that they think they have “right-sized” their workforce at no cost, they nicely offer to concede hybrid working to keep the rest of their employees.

Alternative answer: "We understand your issue and will fix it as time and priorities allow. Please note that customers paying for support always get higher priority. Given MS contributions to the project, this ticket was ranked 42nd in our priority list.

Have a pleasant day! FFMPEG support team"

They would need to find an unclaimed island, I guess. Or isn’t Antartica’s status that it doesn’t belong to any country? We could suggest that.

I kind of wonder if he realizes abandoning his citizenship means he’ll become instantly an illegal, having no document authorizing him to stay in the country.

Ah, it was always only a matter of time before fake news makers would create a fake fact checking agency to go with it.

Was he not describing his fundraising as donations so far? You donate money you don’t think you need at all. But you should be able to lend money you don’t need in the near future. I would bet some of his “loyal” supporters would start to doubt if they were asked to lend too much of what they own.

He should borrow vast amounts of money from his loyal supporters: “Empty your lifetime savings accounts, I promise I’ll pay everything back with interests!”.

Then we’ll see how much his followers really trust him when they need to put their own future on the line…

If you can afford a 1M$ painting, you can certainly afford to have it appraised once in a while.

Let’s be real: who would work hard to make ONLY millions instead of billions? Most people would obviously rather stay poor.

Mozilla downsizes as it refocuses on Firefox and AI drops multiple products and layoff 60 so that its current budget can accomodate the stratospheric compensation of its new CEO.

In theory, yes, you could make a mess, and any firmware is supposed to be certified to allow the device to be used.

In practice, this has been a convenient excuse to keep a whole chip with a separate OS in every smartphone, and it is very difficult to isolate from the rest of the system (see Graphene OS efforts).

I say all firmware should be opensource. Whether you’re allowed to change them or not is a separate question… for now.

We did a 2400km trip 2 years ago. Tesla Model3 LR.

Totally adequate car overall, but that was in Canada: we started from south shore of Montréal, up to Prince Edward’s Island, but avoiding Maine (we couldn’t cross the US border because spouse is a Chinese citizen and was not yet Permanent Resident as the time). On the way back, we stopped at the Fundy National Park. That’s a ~2400km overall.

The car was loaded, we were going camping: 2 adults + 1kid: tent, inflatable canoe, some canned food in case of, and various equipment to cook. All fit in the car with no need for a roof box. But we didn’t have our bikes either. At the camping sites, when we could, we took a spot with a power plug (110V). It charges very slowly, but that’s much better than nothing. When camping or simply spending several days in the same place, you need to mind the battery drain.

2 days to go, 2 days to come back Tesla has deployed quite some charging stations in east Canada (we crossed Québec and the New Brunswick) so we never had to use anything else, and we never worried about not reaching the next charger. Only in the Prince Edward’s Island itself we didn’t have a fast charging station, but there was a L2 public one not very far, walkable distance from the camping site. So the night before our departure, I left the car there to charge, and we were ready to roll in the morning.

Compared to a gas car’s road trip, the comments I would make are:

-The obvious: you no longer stop “when the gauge gets low”. You aim at the next charging station and that’s where you’ll stop, period.

-Stops are longer than a gas car. It’s true that you can go for a coffee or alike, but that’s how I realize that I never take 20mins to take a coffee… Add to that some stations are getting crowded, and multiple times we had to queue as all stations were occupied and some more cars were on an improvised list. Everyone behaved well waiting for their turn, but as EV get more popular, I assume bad players will start appearing too. This may get balanced by the wide adoption of the NCAS in North America (car makers are converting to Tesla’s connector format in US and so that will follow in Canada), so all charging stations, Tesla and the others, will be usable by everyone eventually.

-The car is a blast to drive on a daily basis, and also pleasant to drive on long trips, though the road’s noise is very present in the cabin (I’ve never tried any of the “hacks” to reduce the noise). This car has a ridiculous torque, so loading it does not impede much its driving pleasure.

We did a road trip in Spain last month (2800km), but we rented a small gas car instead of an EV, part because I was uncertain about the charging network, and part because I was uncertain about the chargers cost in Spain. In North America, the joke is fast-charging will be soon as expensive per km as a gas cars…
