  • The article is correct to point out that in today’s economy, if you don’t have your parents support, you have many fewer opportunities.

    That sounds more like a symptom of inequality than a driver of it. That people with sufficient family support aren't yet as under water as people without doesn't mean they're driving inequality. If anything "people with support survive better" is too basic to write an article about.

    Similar to how BP popularized a personal carbon footprint to distract from systemic problems with the oil industry, focusing on the people that still manage to eke out a middle class living as "part of the problem" is like myopically studying why a particular tree hasn't burned yet during a forest fire.

  • I figure not fixing that is 10% not knowing they could, 20% doing so would make it easier to rip stuff, 70% doing nothing costs them nothing since you're supposed to be using the Blu-ray interface anyway.

  • A tariff is what you pay to the government of the port of call to get the item you shipped.

    When you pay $1000 for a DJI drone and it get's to Seattle the US government says "pay us $600 or it goes back on the boat."

    The Chinese company sees literally zero impact other than possibly less orders and probably a wave of refused merch. Which they might keep some or all of the purchase price of anyway.

  • As much as I love Tom Scott and it's a fantastic visual/temporal representation, I doubt a lot of people have the patience.

    I like "1 Million seconds is 11 days, 1 Billion seconds is 31 years" as a more succinct example.

    One person earning $3600/hr, 24/7, without spending any of it, would take 31 years to become a billionaire.

  • Lack of sales IIRC. They're very neat but kind of niche because of their non-standard layout, they were aiming to be a keyboard/mouse replacement instead of "just another controller". Extremely customizable control schemes too.

    Would absolutely love a 2.0 one based off the Steam Deck or something.

  • The last US Presidential election decided with more than a 10% margin was Regan. The only vote with above a 5% margin this millennium was Obama's first term.

    "Anything lower than 10% and it probably doesn't matter much" is a weird take.

  • No, they're saying regardless of if the signal was encrypted or whatever format it was in, anyone with a directional antenna could triangulate where the signal was coming from. If there were only a repeater on the moon that NASA was transmitting to that was then sending the signal back, that would also have been able to be determined.

    Both the Russians, who had a vested interest in embarrassing the US, and every other amateur and professional radio operator on the planet agreed that the moon landing was being transmitted from the moon.

  • Yeah, no. It was (/is? damn, dude's still going. Good for him.) a comedy/commentary comic mostly about gaming and basically interactions that wouldn't be out of place in a Clarks movie. This was a standalone just a week or so before Loss.

    Que super serious miscarriage storyline for "art" reasons.
