One thing I never see addressed with the dream of ending cars and just having bikes is how do first responders operate? How do you transport unconscious people to the hospital? Put out an apartment fire? Get to an armed robbery in time to stop it?
Bikes are great but they also aren’t an end all be all solution to society.
It’s only a matter of time before Google doesn’t give you directions for the shortest and most efficient route, but rather plans your route to send you past the stores that pay the most in advertising.
“You could get to your destination by going down smith street fastest, but Glover Street has McDonald’s so we will send you down that road”
It shows little popup logos on the screen where the places are located, like a McDonald’s logo a few street over as you are driving by in your commute. I had it show me a Toyota logo for a Toyota dealership yesterday. Like, why do I need to know there’s a Toyota dealership there unless I’m specifically searching for it? Toyota probably paid them to show up a certain amount of times.
Do they not give out laptops with an Ethernet port? Or is the extra 2lbs too much?
How can something exist if they haven’t made money in 20 years?
How.much debt does the company have that shareholders will be buying into.
I think it’s more a case of needing to be idiot proof and provide the correct answer every time. Some people using it may have been trained but they also may be absolutely useless at using technology. Google may be simple but it doesn’t give you exactly what you’re looking for and all the relevant information on the first attempt.
And vetoed on sensible decisions in favour of non-sensible ones that make the upper management larger bonuses.
Companies that force people to use their supplies are “bad companies”
Make good products with competitive pricing and your customers will use your supplies. Easy.
Yes I agree
But if we get enough people to label it as a failure instead of a secret success maybe elon’s ego will prevent him from doing it again in the future. The more failures the public can lay at his feet also means less political pressure to allow him to get away with shit like that.
So far twitter and hyperloop have been major disasters. Neurolink is probably just a matter of time. Maybe even starlink as it’s way too expensive for most casual uses at the moment, will depend on the price coming down.
Tesla build quality may come up to bit them in the ass in the long run too.
I do hope spaceX survives his blundering though.
Another musk failure
Well most likely it won’t have any left on the shelf, especially if it were something listed in the weekly flyer.
Some of the stores near me have LEDs in the tags so if you’re looking for something and ask an employee they can look it up and turn on the light.
The price tag then flashes so you can find it easier.
They want your data
That’s just the 13% who have stopped using it daily I imagine, who were already probably super addicted to it.
Not sure if weekly/monthly users dropping out would be included in that tally. Also it says nothing about activity time from the daily users. It’s possible the users that stuck around may not be using it as much i.e. 1-2 tweets or comments a day now vs 10-20 before.
It’s like Dell selling a PC that only allows Dell approved OS systems to be installed. No Linux or Windows, only DellOS so they can get all the advertising revenue from showing ads on your pc
My current boss will print out Excel sheets and use a calculator to sum things and then write in sharpie on the page the changes that he wants me to make to the sheet.
Eh, people riding an ebike everywhere probably wouldn’t be riding a bike anyways if they didn’t have that ebike. It just offers a larger range of area they can go to. I bet most would just be sitting at home if they couldn’t ride their ebike to their friend’s house or wherever they want to meet their friends.
They won’t have to pay as much for employees to rent an apartment from their company than they would for their employees to rent a San Francisco apartment.
Or tear each other’s throats out and back stab each other until the legacy is ruined and crumbling.
I mean, for now…
If terms of use aren’t regulated in any way apparently companies can change them whenever they fucking want to.
They can say this today and then a month from now completely backtrack just like Mozilla did…
Terms of use do not mean fucking anything.
