You’re close to the point but missed the elephant. The valuable thing we’re fighting over in this case is all the data collected by the cars.
Automakers lose some access when it’s Apple or Google serving the infotainment. Apple and Google also get access to this data for free.
This article is such a mess. It just clobbers together talking points, speculation, and suspicion into a word salad
The MOUs in the past were a marketing steps to prevent each state from inventing a new set of rules. It worked.
Yeah - of course such “self regulation” is never as good as an advocate’s wet dream. Any law passed will also be bypassed. They will never try to build a taller wall. It’s in their business interest.
But there is a legitimately win-win situation in a national MOU taking say the CA law and applying it nationally. If you at all feel the CA law is good, it will spread it to shit states that would never care about their citizens’ right to repair on their own.
For the corps it is indeed a nightmare to let 50 states pass 50 different set of rules. The whole point of the IS market is that that does not happen. That there is one set of rules.
But yeah. They will fight any law that is passed. Any MOU they sign will not be perfect. And of course before the ink is even dry on the MOU the corps will be working on ways to subvert and bypass it.
PS: No MOU actually prevents states from passing new laws. It just tries to make a marketing claim “you do not have to spend effort on it- we are doing a good job already”. But that only lasts for as long as the MOU is not bypassed.
Reddit’s bottom line in the short term is unimpaired that is how they won.
But in the long term- they are dead. I mused on this before.
Social network need monopoly - otherwise the business model struggles. One Facebook. One Reddit, one Instagram. Facebook, Insta, Snap, and TikTok however are struggling because they are now the same thing in different packages.
Not so Reddit. Reddit was a true monopoly. Nothing else compared. Well no longer. All their hiking have spawned a true credible alternative in Lemmy/Kbin. This will kill them. No matter of it’s Fediverse or something else - now there use than one place for Reddit. That means a third, fourth and fifth place is in the realm of possibility. And they WILL emerge. Others will try to enter the Reddit space.
Reddit had a niche and it was so dominant. No one truly tried to enter my ya niche. But that was not good enough. The enshittified it over and over again. And now the. Have competition. As they will never have a monopoly again. They will struggle to get their ads money. They will struggle with the margins. They will struggle. Yahoo will buy them in 10 years and do the mercy blow.
Truth. Very good point.
Miele now us a few bagless models with pretty good reviews. But they are a late comer compared to Dyson and Samsung.
It’s popular to hate on Dyson but cordless, bagless vacuum is very much a game dominated by them. Others - Samsung, Miele - have great products but I have yet to see a model from them that is truly superior to flagship Dysons. They dominate on suction and battery power.
Dyson is expensive (overpriced?). The owners is an oligarch brexiteer asshole. The brand is perpetually trending with annoying influencers and I find their vacuums ugly, but … they build very good vacuums.
Yes. I own a Dyson. A corded one. We’re on our third one and keep buying them because we have never had any issues with them.
My current one is 4 years old. The one before was 10 by the time we sold it due to international move. The one before we bought 10 years old used before deciding we wanted a new one.
To add to others’ posts. It can be a huge variety of things that risk making the service unstable, unresponsive, and worst case could corrupt data in flight.
Customers view scheduled maintenance as minor inconvenience. Unplanned outage as an annoyance, and loss of data as a dealbreaker.
So any time there was a chance that what we need to do would limit functionality - or otherwise make the system unstable - best to take the system offline for scheduled maintenance.
Basically also why Swedish barns are red. I presume those two stories and red barn origins are related.
Danes love these explicit names. Poultry is “fjerkræ”. Literally beaked beasts.
Let’s be real. This is unworkable. A fixed “commute” pay sure but
I am for the risk of the commute not falling entirely on the employee. But “job pays for commute” always strikes as a silly proposal.
Indeed. Grew up in a country that phased it out just as I was coming of age. The whole problem was that it was way corrupt, useless, and worst case scenario - men in mid-30s with job, kids, mortgage got called in because the system was so broken.
That is what did the system in. Everyone saw it would be useful to keep it. But we simply could not afford to find it properly or care enough to make more than a useless wasted year.
Ok fine. I can concede the point that women should help.
But it is not women’s fault that men are lonely. It’s definitely not feminisms fault.
I see. Did not realise there is such a defined line.
I do find PyCharm easier than VSCode but never could put a finger on it.

I think we need links - for science.
I agree. Keeping the sale illegal perpetuates the terribleness of drug gang. But it’s a popular take because it removes state responsibility for regulating recreational use and abuse.
Also, however, it is possible to find new ways. For example in a Denmark sex work is legal, but profiting off of sex work is not. Which on the surface makes no sense (a sex worker cannot rent a hotel room for example). As a result women run old fashioned brothels that are employee owned coops.
A partial legalisation could breed some similar non capitalist innovations.
This an opinion that is largely becoming edge-of-accepted though out the west. It’s a valid political stance and it’s the law in some countries already.
I think it’s a challenging take because you combine multiple issues.
We need to solve the housing and cost of living crisis.
We need to solve why we let mentally I’ll become so desperate they become homeless.
And then yes- nothing wrong with well run mental asylums. They existed and in Europe still exist for a reason. People need help. Reagan thought kicking them to the street would be more fun.
Then - discounts for shorties? How about meatheads? When a body builder checks in- also an extra fee? How about tall people?
My point is - draw out this thought further.
For various reason I agree with this in principle - but it needs elaboration.
Not OP but my guess would be moderation tools.
