There’s probably a sociology theory that would apply, but my guess would be a loss of 33% of active users over the course of 6 months.

But the Mozilla corporation is so shady! /s 🙄

Because we have been pornifying asian women on the internet for decades. Does that really beg the question posed in the title?

Sick, so now I get to worry about the fucking emergency exits being ripped off the plane I’m flying on because the network connected torque wrench was hacked and displayed the proper torque setting while under torquing the bolts.

Can we not connect every fucking thing to the Internet?

Jack Dorsey didn’t really have a choice since Twitter is a public company and he made an offer that was way over the per share price. If he refused to sell, the stockholders could have filed a lawsuit for not acting in their best interest.

Say you list a table lamp on your website at $100, tax included. Well, if you sell that table lamp to a buyer in Connecticut (where the tax rate is a flat 6.35%) then you’re required to remit $6.35 in sales tax to the state of Connecticut on that transaction.

But if you sell the same table lamp to a buyer in Aberdeen, Washington, where the sales tax rate is 9.08%, then you’d be required to remit $9.08 in sales tax to the state of Washington.

As you can see, you are cutting into your profit margin by including tax in your pricing.

Further, US customers are accustomed to paying their local sales tax rates. We’re so accustomed to paying odd amounts in sales tax that paying a flat rate might surprise us or leave us a little confused.

This is anti-consumer bullshit nonsense. All they did was hid their only real “con” behind a wall of text. “As you can see, you are cutting into your profit margin by including sales tax”

And the last paragraph is fucking stupid too. People are too used to seeing numbers, so other numbers will confuse them!

Make them

Now, selling a prototype that was sent to you to make a video on is not good obviously, but as long as they get compensated for it, it should be no big deal. Logistical fuck ups happen and this isn’t new or uncommon. The whole idea of Linus ruining their public image based on a “bad faith” representation of the product has little standing in my mind. The crux of his assessment of the product is spot on and you also touched on this. There’s like 4 people willing to spend as much on a cooling block made from billet copper as their GPU. Regardless of current Gen or last Gen. Most people are just going to save that money to buy the next generation graphics card or upgrade elsewhere in their build where the price/performance is much more reasonable.

For me it was the inability to sort my “timeline” by chronological order and only people I wanted to follow.

Yes, I couldn’t think of the word for it, thank you!

I’m not certain, but I think they’ve started to encounter problems with quantum physics where inputs are teleporting through gates.
