Bit strawmanny that. Nobody considers 0% a reasonable target.

- Comment on Devastated PC builder orders DDR5 RAM from Amazon, receives DDR2 and some weights — counterfeit 32GB kit a worrying sign of rising return and sales fraud 1 week ago:
It’s sickening how little Amazon seem to give a fuck about this. They could easily tighten up their vetting of sellers, but heaven fucking forbid they only report a $50,000,000,000 profit this year instead of $50,003,000,000.

- Comment on Apple announces more ads are coming to App Store search results 1 week ago:
My LinkedIn feed continues to be a barrage of posts about how EU regulations choke and stifle innovation, and yet all I see is a succession of wins
- Comment on Apple announces more ads are coming to App Store search results 1 week ago:
This is exactly what I’m talking about what I say I fucking hate capitalism.
Apple already make more money than just about anyone else in the world, but because shareholders expect infinite unending YoY growth they’re not allowed to just keep making billions of dollars. Every year senior management have to find new ways of bilking more cash than the year before, otherwise they’ll get replaced by someone who will.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxis Are Crashing More Than 12 Times as Frequently as Human Drivers 1 week ago:
It’s not even about profit any more, Elon’s ego just won’t let him admit that he was wrong about a camera-only system, when the entire rest of the industry is using LIDAR. Genius businessman doesn’t understand the concept of sunk cost.
- Comment on Attitudes 1 week ago:
Post is in the correct sub and yet everyone in the comments is taking it entirely at face value. Are you all new, or are you just playing along?
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxis Are Crashing More Than 12 Times as Frequently as Human Drivers 1 week ago:
Basically yes. You can’t usefully put a car into one of “crashes” or “doesn’t crash” categories the way you can with e.g. what colour an M&M is, or whether Drug X did or didn’t lower blood pressure in a patient, so miles travelled is a reasonable metric.
It’s possible you might be getting hung up on notions of sample size having to be above a particular fixed number and therefore miles sounding like a cheat, but actually there never has been a universal “correct” minimum sample size; it all depends on the data.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxis Are Crashing More Than 12 Times as Frequently as Human Drivers 1 week ago:
They gave you all the numbers you need to calculate the sample size for the Robotaxis, and it’s safe to assume the sample size for regular cars will be much higher.
Tesla Robotaxis are involved in a crash for every 40,000 miles they drive. For comparison, the publication reported, cars driven by humans crash about once every 500,000 miles, meaning the Robotaxis so far have crashed 12.5 times more frequently than human-driven cars.

That’s not how you measure sample size but ok
- Comment on Word. 1 week ago:
LibreOffice is as good as Word. Which sadly means there are still no really good document editors out there.
- Comment on My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories 1 week ago:
I’m not actually sure. I’ve always answered it at face value, but I’m not a native speaker. I’ve probably been committing a faux pas, like disagreeing with a British person when they say “lovely weather today”.
- Comment on My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories 1 week ago:
The Chinese for “how do you do” translates as “have you eaten yet?”

“This technology is so useful we’re going to force it on you every way we can think of”

And they still haven’t figured out how to stop Netflix from crashing 15 minutes into every other show I watch. First year I had it no problems. Then one day about two years ago, bam, unwatchable.
- Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life 2 weeks ago:
I should save this comments section for when I need examples of why social media should be banned. A ton of people being dicks to each other over whether they use a honey dripper or a teaspoon.

The kind of people they’re pissing off with this, are the same people most likely to switch to bittorrent.

Yes that puzzled me too, I checked like 5 different transcripts and they all said the same thing.

The swallow may fly south with the sun, or the house-martin or the plumber may seek warmer climes in winter; yet these are not strangers to our land.
- Comment on After Apple originally announced the first version of Halo in 1999, Xbox apparently called Bungie and said "'Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you.'" 4 weeks ago:
My 3rd generation iPad became functionally useless after only 6-7 years even though the hardware was pristine. Almost half of the apps on it, including some major ones like YouTube, started refusing to run because they had a mandatory Update, and the App Store wouldn’t provide updates for the newest iOS version that the 3rd gen could support.
Meanwhile my Windows laptop that I bought at the same time is still in service after 12 years.
Fuck Apple to infinity.
