Maybe in the future people will focus on solving problems some AGI can solve better to keep themselves in shape, like how exercise is a modern invention

In fact the number of unique apps available on IOS has declined since the 2010s

All urban use is 11% of California water.

SB79 has nothing to do with the drought.

Gavin Newsom ran on building housing, and SB79 is him fulfilling his mandate from voters, "local resistance by residents" is why California has some of the most expensive housing in the world.

Apparently about half of Twitter are Japanese users, though many may be Chinese using Japan to access.

Rent control also causes this because they get no additional value from better units.

I like the article, but its annoying to say "it's there!" as if most of these these alternate sources aren't mostly on other social media sites or dying a slow death

Their world leading battery tech is much cheaper and last longer, as they bet on the right tech compared to basically every western car company. Their cars overall are much cheaper for equivalent or better quality. Their car companies are desperate to stand out given there are over 100 of them so produce wide ranges of extra features and designs.

The vast majority of US auto jobs have already been lost to automation yet I don't hear you asking for those to come back in exchange for twice as expensive cars.

This is these companies own fault. These companies have grown cozy rent seeking with little competition and have completely missed the electrification of cars as a result. Cheaper cars will hurt those workers, but all of society will be better off when one of their largest expenses decreases.

Its only the first 50K that get 6%, still pretty interesting as being physically so close to the US could cause people in the US to get their first look at Chinese cars.

Chinese car companies face far more ruthless competition than western ones so could end up making better cars as a result, imo.

There are over 100 brands in china selling electric cars

No, you simply assume that.

In 2025 they spend 184 million, and 2% was on hosting. Even several times that for salaries means that an absurd fraction is on non wikipedia items.

The controversy is 95% of spending, including 90% of staff, is on things with no relation to wikipeida that few care about, with exponentially growing costs, which they imply is needed to keep the wiki alive despite how cheap it actually is to run.

Its a widely known controversy

What counts as social media? Is discord social media? What about Roblox? What about youtube?

Many sites don't need accounts to access, is the account the issue or the access?

People can just run it themselves and some tracks would not be detected

This post is literally just 4 screenshots of articles, not even its own commentary or discussion.

There are plenty of things where mil spec is extremely strict and high quality. They wont be sold to consumers as they are priced accordingly

Better circumstance do create better students though. And all this will do is cause the best students to hide in shit schools to game the system

Wow its so nice this excuse just happens to shut down the internet when an astronomically unpopular regime faces vast protests after years of economic and political mismanagement

companies have to pay to get their products on shelve in many grocery stores

Great point, I think I'm just being overly pessimistic

Related, I find it interesting is that gacha games seem to ahve the highest possible returns but almost none are made by western game companies.

I feel like this is impossible given how many games flop each year.

In my experience working in manufacturing almost always far more important things to be worked on, especially since either way you have to setup the windows machine because production needs to be back up today.

Something like 80 percent of published books with an advance never even make back their advance, in case you were wondering why royalties are so low.

They also got a tiny fraction of the rubber from cutting a whole tree down due to not finding a method to get all the rubber, and so cut almost all of the trees down

Yeah that is my experience entirely with meetup these days

It was much harder to sell things online back then too

Yes but if you set up a website to do this they could sue, which I think is reasonable as many if not most people would be happy to both sell and keep a copy

Im pretty sure I read in the past GoG still sells you a license to a game in perpetuity, rather than ownership Of corse, practically there is little difference since they provide offline installers, so its much better to use GoG if you care about this.

The reason they also do this is because of copyright, the license allows games to forbid you from redistribution more copies

If Im wrong about this please let me know, I read some articles claiming this is the case but I am not sure if they truly were correct.

for much of that time you could not actually receive any metal from the US, notably after the great depression domestically. The entire issue is that the US economy grew far faster than the supply of gold so could not physically purchase the required amount of gold as it did not exist.

Yes, inflationary policy is a tax. But its better than the alternative, where the commodity cant keep up with the economy, and that money goes to the holders of the commodity instead with nobody in control
