The Facebook wasn’t even his idea. The Winklevoss Bros came up with it and he was the programmer they got to code it, and subsequently stole it from them.

They said this about iPads and Apple Watches too. Eventually this will be a big deal. It’s still pretty early though.

Fun fact: Macs were a legitimately good gaming platform in the early 2000s with the first Halo being developed for Macs. Microsoft saw the threat and bought out Bungie and made it an Xbox exclusive.

I stopped using the dealership when they required paying by typing my card information into their http website. They said they couldn’t take physical cards anymore due to Covid. Then they handed me a pen to sign for the work to get my keys.

There is no PR. The only PR that even came out about it was due to the World Cup. But that was conveniently swept under the rug.

I guess there is still iron in it. Looks like they didn’t use an alloy with enough chromium for the application.
- Comment on Tesla Cybertruck May Have A Rust Problem 10 months ago:
They keep using the words “stainless steel” which is an alloy created to be rustproof by removing the iron out of it. So how exactly is this stainless steel if it rusts?

- Comment on Paris votes to crack down on SUVs | Non-Parisians will be charged almost $20 per hour to park large gas or hybrid vehicles within the city center in a bid to address pedestrian safety and air pollu... 10 months ago:
Okay let’s do some more math. Let’s say we take three separate smaller cars. Parking price evens out if the cost for one larger vehicle is triple. But now you have three vehicles bringing in pollution instead of a large one that only takes 20% more than a smaller one. And those three vehicles take up more parking spaces and create more traffic on the roads, which would go against their stated claim of making the roads safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

Not a lot of Camrys in Europe, but I get your point. I think this law needs some revisions. Charging based on how many empty seats are in your vehicle upon entry and exit of the city, may be a better way.

So if I rent a 9 pax van and bring 8 friends to Paris, it will cost more money than if we all took separate smaller vehicles?
