phyzix5761··on Tesla Hasn't Had a Successful New Product Launch Since JB Straubel Stepped Down
When I google "best selling car 2026" my results show Tesla Model Y. I suspect maybe google is playing a bit of the "confirmation bias results" game for the both of us based on our past search history.

2024: $3.581 billion

2025: $6.22 billion

Tesla Model Y is the best selling car in the world for like 3 years in a row. They don't need a new product any time soon.

Edit: All you Tesla haters just google "best selling car in the world last 3 years" and you'll see.

AI is a threat to Google's main business of advertising (primarily through search). They're on the AI bandwagon because otherwise their stock price will plummet but they're secretly hoping the AI bubble will pop and they can go back to showing ads full time.

Its more than that. They said they spent 45 hours layering the individual photos and "Much of the time was spent painstakingly erasing stars, to reveal the satellites."

All satellite orbits must be pre approved before a spacecraft can ever leave the ground. They're more heavily regulated than aircraft.

Its a manipulated/edited photograph made to look like satellites are a problem for the night sky. There's an agenda behind this.

This is intentional misinformation and sensationalism targeting a specific political opponent. Get out of here with this nonsense.

phyzix5761··on Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy?
Not sure where you're getting those requirements. OP said 60-80 inches, 4k with at least 60hz, and they said "I don’t mind paying a premium". They also never mentioned a VESA mount or "infinite" contrast ratio.

There are lots of monitors that fit OP's description.

phyzix5761··on Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy?
Get a big monitor with all the specs you want and connect it to an old laptop. You can watch whatever you want on there. You can even play video games on your Playstation or XBox if it has an HDMI port.

They randomly suspend small business accounts too for no reason.

We don't know if a black hole's singularity actually has infinite density because the volume being 0 means the density is undefined as division by 0 is undefined.

phyzix5761··on Study: Schoolwide phone bans show no significant impact on mental health
We live in a society that makes chasing after pleasure very easy therefore nothing feels special or fulfilling anymore. You have to make a serious effort to limit yourself on what you experience. Not because you lack the resources or you're some kind of religious zealot. But because you give yourself the opportunity to truly enjoy little things when you can't have them all the time.
phyzix5761··on Google Search is now less than half of Alphabet’s revenue
How is that foul play? Companies pay other companies to be the exclusive X all the time. For example, Coca-Cola bought an exclusive right to the only soft drink brand at all Fifa games. There are other examples like Nike being the official uniform of the NFL (including fan purchases), Windows paying computer manufacturers to be the default OS on PCs, and Netflix paying TV makers to have a Netflix button on the remotes for the TVs.
phyzix5761··on Google Search is now less than half of Alphabet’s revenue
There's nothing intrinsic about Google search that makes it a monopoly. Monopolies usually hold their position because regulations make it prohibitive for competitors to form or because they control a rare resource. Google search does neither of these two things. Its just a better product compared to everything else out there and the market reflects that.

What does compassion have to do with it? If the industry requires more output or your business fails what options do you have?

Also, as someone who has been self employed I can tell you that you're working 2x-3x as much as someone who is employed and you have to pay more in taxes.

Marx was also an adulterer and refused to take responsibility for children he fathered so I don't think he's the best person to listen to in this situation.
