having to look down at the center of my dashboard

that's why more recent models move the screen higher up. it sometimes looks a bit silly (like they glued an ipad on top of the dashboard), but it's a lot more usable

HUD that projected my location, speed, heading and turn by turn navigation (with lane info!) onto the windshield

the latest carplay implementations are compatible with the inbuilt navigation aids, so turn signals from waze/maps/whatever will feed into the HUD

"Why would Microsoft NOT favor it's own browser in it's own OS? How is that illegal?"

those oversized "teddy bear" pictures are horrifying, looks like something from day of the triffids

lifting something 10 times 1 foot is exactly the same as lifting it 10 feet :)

That’s a strange argument. If my postman shits in my letterbox, is that proof that the whole concept of postmen is a bad idea?

Really interesting article, thanks!

yeah I think the key point is in your last sentence - maybe some people would buy Apple Music/TV without an iphone or an AppleTV? I don't think anyone would buy icloud without the hardware though. And presumably they're bundling applecare in the "services" as well :)

they're clearly not the main revenue drivers, contrary to Apple

the very fact that we're comparing apple, a (mainly) hardware company, to a bunch of software companies is in itself a measure of incredible success for Apple.

Yeah the author conveniently ignores the fact that the UX of Mac apps was radically different to that of PC apps, so it’s not that designers/developers were somehow more enlightened back then, it’s just that they were “on rails”

yes, since apple doesn't control the content of the pushes it is sent by application backends. that can only be controlled within each app

I've had exactly the same feeling. Since the beginning of time, it has generally taken more effort to build something than to review it. This is no longer the case, and it completely breaks some processes.

The quick solution is to escalate the arms race, and start using AI to filter the AI slop, but I'm not sure that's a world I want to work in :)

i think the discussion here is about performance/pleasure cars, where weight is a real handicap. not range or actual convenience

direction of approach being random

is this specific to a country? I'm not sure I've ever seen a petrol station that wasn't one-way

if building up is bad for tourism, it kills two birds with one stone: more housing and less tourists who want airbnbs. so slowly build up until you stabilise the tourism at the level you want!

I don't think they're dying at all, they're just become yet another consultancy/outsourcing shop

technically it is irrational

Only if your company operates in a vacuum, without investors or customers

That wouldn't explain the price here, since in your scam the whole idea is to buy cheap and donate dear. not buy for 139M

prior commitments like the Paris accord were engineered to harm us while allowing China to dominate

Who engineered them to harm us? You’re saying there’s a powerful pro-China cabal that designed the Paris accords on purpose to harm us and benefit China? Come on..

it's not a question of "offloading" it, it's a question of reaping the benefits of global competition

Would you really be better off if you could only buy cars made by US manufacturers? Did americans really lose out when Toyota and co arrived? Would Boeing aircraft really be better if they didn't have to compete with Airbus? Or would the incumbents just get lazy?

I don’t think that’s what we were talking about here - it was using AI to replace graphic designers at startups

Is it the same if it’s a human doing the learning? If I spend my youth looking at art, I’d any work I then do “theft”?

at or below 400% of the poverty level. so if the povertly level is 1k/month for a family of 4, anyone making 4k or less with the same size of family is included

Even the cars are massive. A Toyota Camry is nothing special in the US, here it’s a big long car

And the Lexus SUV range stops at the RX in Europe, with 3 smaller SUVs under that

The vast majority of of Fords you see in Europe are designed in Koln at Ford Europe GMBH. I believe there are less than 5 models that are sold in both markets

Could a small piece of conductive foam or some cleverly layered tin foil+paper work? So put the object on the shim (which has a known or even negligeable weight)

The type of people posting these questions on reddit today wouldn't have been at those parties yesterday, so I don't think we can extrapolate some overarching theme here

My anecdotal experience with two children who are young adults is that there are still house-parties (nearly) every weekend at high-school, but that there's a lot less drinking, and they're a lot more open and mature (i'm not sure i would have enjoyed being a trans kid in a 90s high school)

I think the problem here is "you can afford" vs "you can pay for"

if you're willing to spend the time and effort doing interest rate arbitrage for a few hundred dollars, maybe you can pay for a certain car, but i'm really not sure you should be

Is the negotiation of these loans separate from the negotiation of the car price? If not I suspect the margin is just being shifted to the asset price

I think as a proportion of the total amount loaned, the people using car loans to bu 10-15k used Toyotas because they have to is quite low :(
