How this could have been released to production in the first place is insane to me.

How does Globalstar's offering compare to Starlink?

M1 Max, 32GB, 1TB; still not feeling the need to upgrade, especially when the upgrade is as expensive as they are now.

Shigure Ui is an illustrator and vtuber. She has a teenage character which is her main character. She also has a young girl character (age 9) which is the one that was put into the exploit explanation video.

> How would you create a video like this?

You would need to hire the team that made the original video (which as of this comment has 148 million views)

The original video from where the dancing girl was taken from (she's a vtuber, not in an anime) has 148 million views.

You did not calculate the impact on the salmon population since dams were added to the Kennebec since 1837. Both the impact on the salmon themselves as well as all of the other animals and people who relied on that salmon fishery.

It's certainly a lot larger than the benefits of the dams in my calculation.

As someone who lived in China for 5 years pre-pandemic, it's fine to visit China, enjoy the cuisine, enjoy the culture. Learn the language, all good.

But living full time in China and competing with Chinese in China as a non Chinese person- that's not something you want to do.

Thank you for sharing.

"In essentially every other category, my quality of life has degraded significantly since returning home. "

This is the challenge. The market in the US, the salaries, etc. are significantly better/higher, but the quality of life is often worse.

It is not. They did take VC funding however, which is when the board and the investor agreements came into force.

> Can't believe they flew all these people in to play them a video.

Apple can't afford to have demo problems or presentation glitches anymore. Hence the system that they have now.

＞how paper-money-driven Japan is.

JFYI, over 50% of payments in Japan in 2026 are digital now. So not as high as other markets but certainly much less paper money than pre-pandemic.

Almost every convenience store in Japan has a public toilet. Yes, it is polite to purchase something but it's not required. Some even have bidet function.

These unintended (or intended?) affects of the AI boom are yet another cause for hate among a key demographic (people who use/buy/build PCs) who might otherwise be pro-AI but because of this are quite anti-AI.

Solitude by choice is one thing. Leaving when you want to, returning to a life with more connections, etc.

These men are probably doing this job because it is work they can get.

I think it looks romantic from the perspective of someone in a major metro area. But long term, that sort of lifestyle is only for the people who can really endure that. After a while I think most would not want that remoteness.

Until the Chinese government penalizes these Chinese companies for these insecure practices, they'll continue to be sold as is. China doesn't need to care about Chinese made products sold for export apparently.

The two largest vtuber agencies/companies are publicly traded in Japan.

The stock prices are not great all things considered- I think that the vtuber audience needs something new/different to broaden beyond it's current market base AND I think investors would rather put money into AI related stocks than IP/vtuber related stocks.

Apple too. They solder in the SSDs and memory.

The best forums still have users and traffic. For instance, for Toyota Land Cruiser owners, the best information has always been at ih8mud. Reddit doesnt hold a candle to Mud for the depth of information available (for that community.)

Did you look at Patagonia Inc. as an example? I wasn't aware of the new book but am more interested in it now.

> the system is designed so that VCs keep winning

The way around that is to not take VC money. There are some (not many) startups that got to unicorn status by bootstrapping and not taking outside money. It's harder, yes, but in a way a more pure effort.

The Mozilla Foundation owns the Mozilla Corporation. The Corporation hires the engineering staff that does the bulk of the work to develop Firefox (the rest are community/volunteer contributors and partners.)

Agreed. Recommended.

Many here at HN find that site hard to read, not just the original commenter.

> "Flying Geese" paradigm

Can you name any one of these that are successful or prominent? I am not aware of this paradigm.

Apple, if you are reading this, I'm not investing into new hardware until you fix the mess that is Tahoe. My M1 MAX is doing fine atm.

The R1 is a body on frame, so a traditional truck chassis.

This new R2 is a unibody- so more of a car, less so a truck
