thefounder··on E Ink’s color ePaper tech gets supersized for outdoor displays
I think you can’t even get them for $1500 - $2000
thefounder··on DeepSeek could represent Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's worst nightmare
It looks like that’s not the case anymore. That’s what this is all about.
thefounder··on DeepSeek could represent Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's worst nightmare
If I can write an email from my small and cheap phone why would I buy that big mainframe? The chips to do the job become cheap. The high end chips will become a niche again for research and mil. stuff.
thefounder··on Facebook ban on discussing Linux?
Facebook is just a website. Move on!
thefounder··on Couriers mystified by the algorithms that control their jobs
Then let’s just ban tipping.
thefounder··on Couriers mystified by the algorithms that control their jobs
If tipping is required it is no longer tipping. It’s a tax/fee.

I don’t get why people are expecting to receive tips even if the service provided is fine at best.

thefounder··on Dutch Align with US Export Controls on Some ASML Chip Tools
What makes you think they need the latest technology to win a war? Technology may be an advantage but the wars are dicy.
thefounder··on Nokia's internal presentation after iPhone was launched (2007) [pdf]
I somehow fail to see this as the most I want in a car is confort and perhaps space not screen time.

A killer feature for a car would be FSD but that’s not an “iPhone” thing.

BYD and the other Chinese manage to sell good EVs for great prices but I don’t see them irreplaceable like the iPhone.

Maybe they are the new Toyota but not the iPhone.

Same goes with Tesla though it’s more complicated because Tesla keeps promising FSD.

The iPhone didn’t promise anything. It just delivered.

thefounder··on Meta's memo to employees rolling back DEI programs
So the strategy was to lure the bear on your turf and become a punching bag. After getting beat up pretty bad you celebrate that the bear left your turf. Now you hope someone else will engage the tired bear. Who would want to be the next punching bag?
thefounder··on Meta's memo to employees rolling back DEI programs
Well now a good chunk of Palestians are dead and Palestina finds itself in an even worse situation(politically,economically,socially). Surely there is a better way than poking the bear to see what happens.
thefounder··on Lead and cadmium found in muscle-building protein powders, report says
I think it’s more likely that they don’t care what happens with your data. They simply install that JS payload and check the revenue at the end of the month.
thefounder··on Meta's memo to employees rolling back DEI programs
It won’t happen overnight. It’s not like violence beings best results that fast. What did Bin Laden accomplish in the U.S with his violent protests/terrorism ? Or the Islamic state? Not to mention the latest wonder from Gaza…it didn’t go down that well, did it?
thefounder··on Meta's memo to employees rolling back DEI programs
I hope this extends to the media/movie industry. If there is one reason I would have voted for Trump that would have been to stop the flood of DEI in movies.

Couldn't watch a movie without a gay scene even if it had no sense in the movie. The exception became the norm.

thefounder··on Meta's memo to employees rolling back DEI programs
>> Rights are never given, they have to be taken by force.

That's simply not true. You can also be persistent instead to be violent(i.e by force). A small group of people with the same goal can do wonders without being violent.

thefounder··on Finland Finds Anchor Drag Marks Left by Tanker That Broke Cables
Not much they could do considering it could be China or Russia.
thefounder··on 'No Problem' Word Processor Poses a Problem for Former President Carter (1981)
You mean underground
thefounder··on America in Two Headlines
I wonder how many stock / crypto investors ended up homeless…
thefounder··on Apple Photos phones home on iOS 18 and macOS 15
The best you can hope is integrity and security until your information reaches the destination but to assume that Apple or the U.S government cannot decipher the information you sent it or use it against you(i.e. set a person of interest as "landmark" and find out who's iPhone matches that "landmark) you must be foolish.

It's no longer a conspiracy. I think we are all over past that time(i.e with Snowden and Wikileaks). We live in a surveillance world and "They're guarding all the doors and holding all the keys".

thefounder··on More men are addicted to the 'crack cocaine' of the stock market
Addiction takes over rationale. Everyone knows crack cocaine is bad. They know “the odds” too, yet they can’t stop.
thefounder··on More men are addicted to the 'crack cocaine' of the stock market
I think some make money trading just that or am I wrong? I’m not talking about youtubers
thefounder··on OnlyFans models are using AI impersonators to keep up with their DMs
>> And how does that affects those OF models who actually type out their own interactions?

They will work harder and get paid less. Just like Amazon affects small store owners.

thefounder··on OnlyFans models are using AI impersonators to keep up with their DMs
a better headline would be: “OnlyFans human chatters are being replaced by AI”. That’s because:

- 99% of the time the models on OF don’t actually have any conversation(many of them don’t speak English at all), they may not even signup on OF. They are “managed” models(aka pimp-ed through a local pimp or totally remote/web pimp/agency))

- the DMs were handled by chatters in the first place so this has nothing to do with the models.

thefounder··on The size of BYD's factory
I wonder if China could get into an EV bubble like with the real-estate.
thefounder··on Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski Expresses Interest in Buying Google Chrome
Why has indexedDb been handicapped for so long?
thefounder··on EU irate about geo-locked Apple IDs
That won’t be an issue once the law has been adopted by the EU parliament.
thefounder··on Trump wins presidency for second time
Because discrimination is bad and I don’t like to be told that I have to use a x race, gender, sexual orientation in the lead role of “my movie”.
thefounder··on Trump wins presidency for second time
He could try to do something like Putin and extend the limit of 2 terms (just to keep America Great a bit more)and later declare himself dictator for life like Xi Jinping. You could look at Hitler as example how to become absolute dictator. “ news is that at the end of 6 years, after America has been made GREAT again and I leave the beautiful White House (do you think the people would demand that I stay longer? KEEP AMERICA GREAT), both of these horrible papers will quickly go out of business & be forever gone!

Nice nice nice! Finally some freedom for the consumer.

thefounder··on UK will give sovereignty of Chagos Islands to Mauritius
Well someone more powerful would not care about the lease agreements anyway so if the U.S can’t fight back the lease agreement won’t help them anyway. See Russia-Ukcraine and the agreements that were signed. They are not worth their paper
