They lost less than the year before

That's not how relations between employers and employees work.

It's like saying you don't need a democracy if the king cares enough about his subjects.

It might work for a time, but the power balance is such that you can't rely on the goodwill of leaders alone.

Who the fuck wears a VR headset walking in the street, let alone crossing a road?

I don't know, I could see the value if it really looked like the mask was semi transparent.

So it's a cool idea, the only problem is that they didn't deliver and the result is creepy instead.

Sure, but I don't know what their value proposition for their customers was. Except "we want to take a piece of the cake from Microsoft", which their customers didn't care about.

Why would anyone use that instead of Windows?

Yes, the problem is that the main reason people used Linux was because it was Free Software.

So a proprietary Linux didn't bring the usual benefits of Linux, it was just one more proprietary OS. And unlike BeOS or NeXT it didn't bring much to the table compared to Windows or other Linux distributions.

Prostitution exists at all price points.

He only has to pay 20% of his left over after expenses like rent.

And if the GoFundMe reaches the amount he owes, he'll be a free man.

I believe that's why they make it impossible to remove without a sim card tool, so they can argue that it's an internal connection that the user is not supposed to remove.

Kinda, Plex still changes my homepage with their ads once in a while

Even if you're giving to a stranger, you're more likely to give to someone similar to you.

So rich people will have more empathy for other rich people because they have more in common.

So they have to move to an office, any office?

Meaning they can no longer be remote but don't have to be in the same office as the people they manage?

That makes a lot of sense.

It's not that much for a tech company with such a big user base

When needed, they can change it faster than Japan did.

That's already the case. Just look at a car factory assembly line, they're full of robots already but none of them look like humans.

It's 1000x easier to redesign the factory around robots than building and operating humanoid robots.

To be fair, Opera in the 2000's was craming every single feature they could think about in their browser.

So sure, they got some interesting features before the others but they also had hundreds of useless features cluttering the UI.

My fusion drive iMac was rendered unusable by an OS update that was optimized for SSD and put any hard drive Mac to a crawl.

I had to change to a SSD, which was very fun because I had to unglue the screen and glue it back when I was done.

To be fair, cars are becoming less and less serviceable.

I had a light bulb that died on my car, and tried to change it myself. How hard could that be?

Turns out the light bulb is so buried under the engine I ended up giving up and bringing it to the shop. And often even independent shops can no longer service cars, you have to bring it to your maker's dealership because only they have the proprietary tooling to fix it.

Singapore is just as big as NYC, and almost as dense. Cross border commuters from Malaysia do exist but are not the norm because it's a big pain.

Also what's true is Singapore might be true in NYC but NYC is not the norm in US, it's the exception.
