Also, cross positing the same content on multiple platforms isn’t time consuming.

This is clearly EFF violating their stated commitment to political neutrality, and providing only a superficial and easily discredited rationale for cover.

I’m sure I’ve spent 16 hours on Netflix or League of Legends in a 24 hour period before, yet my median daily usage is 0 hours, and it wouldn’t be reasonable to describe my usage as an addition either.

I’m not saying people don’t get addicted to social media, they do, but in this particular case I think his description of problematic is adequate, and this headline is unnecessarily confrontational.

It's the self-driving cars debate all over again.

Whereas Apple’s profit figure reflects their total profit across all products and all markets combined.

It’s meaningless comparing these, because it’s not an equal basis of comparison.

If not, you’re comparing apples to oranges.

Small parts of the compound actually appear to be within Thailand, at the border resolution Google maps uses: https://www.google.com/maps/place/16%C2%B038'51.2%2522N+98%C...

This argument makes about as much sense as saying Apple hasn’t released a new phone since 2007.

Isn’t lithium only about 15% of the cost of an LFP cell to begin with?

Not only have you cherry picked anecdotes to support this, but you don’t have a counter factual, e.g. maybe someone who survives until 95 on junk food would have lived until 105 on healthy food.

Assuming the municipality recycles their wastewater, which they would do in any drought prone region, this water will become clean water again.

It’s essentially a closed system.

There’s little relationship between the net income of a company and what is an appropriate bug bounty, especially a company as diversified as alphabet.

All EVs depreciate quickly, Tesla isn’t unique in this regard.

The reason is simply that the market is currently higher income earning early adopters. That customer base is willing to pay the premium for the newest model, and upgrades quickly when newer models come out.

This results in a large of supply of 3 year old vehicles, but not much demand.

In time we’ll see used EVs depreciate at rates more similar to ICE vehicles, as mainstream buyers, who view EVs as a car rather than a tech product, enter the market.

Users who truly need that ability can create multiple certificates, and synchronise them as appropriate.

A single per-user client certificate is a cleaner solution, without the vendor lock in problem, since there’s no need for real time synchronisation of an evolving set of passkeys.

I was grateful for it, and at first glance, assuming Tesla’s argument is true, it’s hard to see how they are even partially responsible.

When it comes to government work, the biggest cost savings always come from questioning the necessity of requirements.

People point the fingers at defence contractors, but their net margins are typically only around 10%.

The real issue is simply that Tesla are attempting to maintain their pricing and margins while the cost of producing EVs is plummeting and the variety of options is increasing.

The result is that they are being severely undercut on price by BYD et al.

Tesla are going to have to either start cutting prices significantly, or accept being a low volume pseudo-premium offering.

The most notable areas where BYDs are still not competitive with Tesla are the interior (fit and finish is worse, the styling is unrefined and busy), the software (a buggy lightly skinned version of android), the suspension (BYD feels floaty whereas the Model Y feels grounded and responsive), and parts availability. If something goes wrong with BYDs in Australia, you can be without a car for months while waiting for parts to slowly steam across the ocean.

The BYD is cheaper, but only by about 10%, which is not enough in my view to offset the overall feeling of still being a work in progress.

That said, I really hate the onscreen gear selector in the Model Y. I’m fine with most controls being onscreen but I want a physical control for gear slection.
