At no point does the article enlighten me of the actual ‘problem’. The photo is beautiful. The ability to even capture this signifies technological advancement, which I think wonderful.

In some way this reminds me of living in SF back in 2015, and all the arguments over the towers going up in soma. “No one wants the Manhattanization of the city” was accepted fact on both sides. Yet that wasn’t an obvious fact to me at all, and I could never find an argument in support of this ‘fact’.

Can someone enlighten me here?

> sell if off

To who? How?

> Probably 12 hours a day, or even 16 hours/day if you also count Twitter as “work”.

It’s the marketing effort that puts me off. I know I’m a 10x developer with a great product sense, but spending hours every day on Twitter and blogging sounds awful. I very definitely count those 4 twitter hours as ‘work’.

I just got a Rivian R1S and lack of CarPlay is by far the worst thing about the car. The built in Spotify app is janky, podcasts and music can’t continue where it left off, built in map seems to only direct me to busy roads. It’s so annoying I’m thinking of selling (for a profit).

Why is this happening? Car executives aren’t stupid, and must realize software is not core to their business. Unless they plan to start selling phones down the line they can never ‘win’ this battle. It’s clearly a huge waste of internal effort.

Does Apple try and take a % of the car sale as a license fee? Even if the fee were $2000 per car… that could be passed on to the car buyer. I would pay $2000 today to get CarPlay into my Rivian.

If he decision to kick off this project took a bill in the California legislature, then why didn’t they save tens of billions by tacking on a “CEQA does not apply to HSR” sentence to the end?

There are no mega-companies because it is not a single market in practice. Language alone splits your market.

It would be like launching your SV startup only in California and not getting the other 49 states for 'free'. For each new state you launch in, there is regulatory burden and language burden, not to mention culture differences affecting UX. Small markets limit growth and reduce ability to raise capital -> ergo the US competitor will almost always win.

Google? Older articles are down ranked? A guess.

So if this becomes the new ‘standard’ work week, which day becomes part of the weekend? Friday?

I see these stories all the time. I’m pro the idea. But it’s not going to work if one industry works Tue-Fri and another Mon-Thu and their customers are taking off Wednesday. That standard work week being _standard_ is a feature.

Thanks. But even at $80k it’s a no brainer. The hybrid solution I vetoed came in at $130k!

EDIT: To expand on that, only about $40k was batteries. After an initial period would fall back to (large) generator and only certain areas of house powered. I’d have to check the math, but an E F150 with a much smaller generator would be both cheaper and power the whole house indefinitely.

Surprised there’s no discussion on the price delta here - I could buy 10x power-walls for $110k, or 1x E F150 for $40k and get a free truck thrown in.

As someone with a large house who just investigated a hybrid power walls + gas generator + solar backup solution and didn’t go through with it due to cost, this is huge. I am literally considering buying an F150 to just keep parked stationary behind my garage.

Why not just write @(x(), y(), z(“items”))? Named cells was a feature.

My immediate thought is excel is 3d — through worksheets - it’s just the calling syntax is horrible.

It would be hard to displace excel at this stage. But if there was a) a good gui and b) a translator that allowed you to save a Teapot spreadsheet as excel for sharing… I’d consider switching.

Does this mean I can finally have multiple user accounts on my iPhone?
