Fabs are an exception and a bad comparison.
- Comment on Roomba maker iRobot swept into bankruptcy 2 weeks ago:
I think the part where if they had limited their debt and controlled their costs they should still be selling enough to stay open. The other products are better but they still don’t have the brand recognition.

You only need add milk to tea if the tea is terrible

It’s also about making it as cheaply as possible, which is why cooking yourself is better than almost any other food.
- Comment on Have YOU ever done this? 2 weeks ago:
Cinematography and geopolitical effects of mountainous terrain rainfall on world building stories. Also making ways of tricking people into reading the book about potatoes.

If I don’t see some authentic frontier gibberish in five seconds I’m gonna flip this goddamn table.
Ah hell, I’ll do it myself.
- Comment on Oracle made a $300 billion bet on OpenAI. It's paying the price. 2 weeks ago:
But Windows and Google can shove it in your face because you’re already on their platform and they are doing that. You have to go to openai website.

You don’t want that as the only option though, because you can definitely lose that and it’s not incredibly hard to break.

More importantly, it kills them when they’re old and already contributed most of their pollution and the cancer care also wastes lots of plastic and resources.
- Comment on Actual theft 3 weeks ago:
They both have some items that are semi exclusive or are better to buy from. Like if you want to buy big exercise equipment, it’s easier to return it if you have a physical store. Also, online places have higher rates of counterfeit items. So there are plenty of specific reasons to buy things in person.

There’s nothing funnier than the fallout post with a toilet with "mine corn"on it.

Using a larger vocabulary doesn’t make you sound like an llm, it’s more about the tone.

It’s not flowery though, just bland.

It’s the crimping and the precision shape that’s hard to replicate, you need a press.

You’re forgetting the crows that like shiny things
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 3 weeks ago:
It can be used for barter, gold had enough of a reputation that you can get anyone to trade you for it if they have an excess of something.
- Comment on U.S. consumers are so fucked up, that they put more than $1 billion on buy-now, pay later services during Cyber Monday 3 weeks ago:
They’re still in the acquire customers and market share phase and the number of providers is increasing. Increase in fees and predatory aspects comes later in the enshittification phase.

I’m just sad because no one will get my santaroga barrier reference, it’s just something you have to feel.

The sodium citrate is a good preservative and is responsible for some of that sour flavor
- Comment on Bread mold 4 weeks ago:
The key part is that your immune system is used to various mold and parasite infections and you’re fine, but if you become immune compromised or old then the same thing you did before can kill you. That’s why people who actually get infected with things like water born parasites are usually very old or sick.
- Comment on Gmail users warned to opt out of new feature - what we know 5 weeks ago:
It’s not ai specific. It’s literally everything including basic stuff like sorting newsletters into its own category. That’s why I said it’s all or nothing. It’s just called " smart features" and they’ve had it for a decade, long before ai became a thing. But if you decline then you decline everything. That’s how they do it. They make a huge category and if you decline then you decline everything including things that are considered pretty basic.
- Comment on Gmail users warned to opt out of new feature - what we know 1 month ago:
The only option is smart features, on or off. That requires Google to read the email to categorize them and do a lot of basic stuff. It doesn’t let you narrowly have more privacy on specific features. It’s all or nothing, and if you get a lot of emails then it’s hard to turn it off if you already use categories. Google always does all or nothing because they know people need some of it, same with location. It has to be precise location tracking to use things, you can’t just do rough location.
- Comment on A conundrum 3 months ago:
The 100k+ over asking was the big deal because that never made it into the housing data properly so prices looked like they were lower than they were and we don’t have accurate comparison data now
- Comment on A conundrum 3 months ago:
Very dependent on the field. A lot of jobs are concentrated in a handful of major cities, mostly very HCOL but with high salary. That’s why remote work becoming bigger partially caused the housing surge nationwide.

Asymmetric warfare basic.

No one that is an American politician will be directly financed by Russia. It would always be indirect or hidden shell companies.
- Comment on Wikipedia is resilient because it is boring 3 months ago:
Senate investigation is sadly partisan and doesn’t mean much anymore. They’ll find what they wanted to find.
