I used to work with many brilliant Russians on cool open source projects. Sad that an entire generation of potential is gone.

What Microsoft does not seem to understand is that you don’t even have to make a GOOD product, you just have to make it better than eating broken glass.

Yeah, or 40 degrees C. It gets crazy hot here.

I think you’re thinking about it too hard! You don’t need to feel pressured to like things that other people like.

Probably both, popularity is often both a factor of “actually good” and “well-marketed”.

I mean, she’s not just a mascot, there’s a whole media franchise behind Hatsune Miku: video games, music, tv shows. Plus it mimics the whole idol culture that’s so popular in Asia. I find it hardly surprising that any franchise with that much content is popular.

There’s no way burning satellites are putting enough energy into the atmosphere to heat it up. They cause other problems like ozone degradation and serious aerosol pollution.

Rockets on the other hand put a lot of greenhouse gasses high up in the atmosphere, including incredibly potent greenhouse gasses like water vapor. These launches account for a meaningful percentage of all emissions.

Modern times call for modern solutions: Hatsune Miku Linux

People have been doing this with god since the dawn of humanity

Might also be diet, but avoiding too much sun exposure is one of the most reliable ways to keep your skin healthy.

Loss Wins

There was lots of demand for Cybertruck… mostly from fanboys and bootlickers though.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable that an established EV maker got 10x the reservations than a brand new manufacturer did, even on a product clearly designed for edgelords.

Sure, they have simply demonstrated that there is demand.

If they stopped adding features nobody asked for it would be a lot cheaper. Look at how Slate is doing.

Aluminum wiring is totally fine, it just needs to be thicker. It’s still lighter weight and cheaper - probably a big win to be honest.

It’s not the case that’s the problem, it’s the trademarked IP.

The people who stand with Ukraine are the same people who back Palestine and condemn the Iran war. Clearly they are against the invaders in each of these cases.

Maybe next time we reinvent political systems we’ll make one that’s aware of game theory and how things will obviously be exploited.

You have to wear book camouflage, obviously.

It really dries my eyes out when I’m looking right at a Mach 2 headwind.
