I think one of the core issues is your house value and the real value you get from it is more proportional. It is grounded in reality because housing is almost a commodity.

Company valuations can be utterly ridiculous versus their fundamentals. Hilariously so.

Are there jurisdictions that allow this? In my jurisdiction, that would be considered a constructive dismissal and legally treated the same way as a layoff with the same employer obligations.

I've tried the vanilla Earpods which are pretty much the wired version of that. Those ones at least stay in my ear, but my ear starts to hurt after 30 mins or so.

I'm the same and fixed the issue by getting some custom eartips made. They aren't cheap but have made my AirPods Pro usable.

On-ear headphones hurt my earlobes and over-ear headphones make my head get hot so I can't seem to find happiness anywhere. The custom eartips I think have gotten me the closest though!

I imagine it was a fat fingering. I’ve purchased MBPs for my org in person at an Apple Store because I needed them urgently and I had to call my Apple rep to manually assign the serials to our company in ABM.

GDPR can apply extraterritorially but not to the extent you're suggesting.

For example, I am an EU citizen living in Canada. GDPR does not apply to any company interacting with me. However, for a US citizen living in an EU country GDPR would apply to every company they interact with. Even US based companies.

I think intent is probably implied. All software has bugs so with your assumption all software is malware.

I don’t think that clause would be enforceable because of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

They can’t deny warranty coverage because of a user modification unless they can prove the modification caused the damage?

Money. Certifying a system like that would cost a fortune and unless the operator is forced to do it or you give them a very compelling case that helps their profitability, it ain’t happening

As a commercial pilot student, I misidentified a runway once but caught it in the air and early before I started final approach.

Easy to do if you’re unfamiliar with the airport and task saturated.

Although this is in small little piston plane with only one pilot. No idea what the situation is for airline pilots in multi-crew environments.

I wouldn't say saying it came from the inside is unique to AI art. You very much need a welder's understanding of welding in order to be able to automate it for example.

I'd just say the scale is different. Old school automation just required one expert to guide the development of an automation. AI art requires the expertise of thousands.

I think this depends on how much friction side-loading ends up being. If I can just click a link and hit "run" like I can on a computer, yeah it could be an issue.

If it requires diving in to Settings or connecting the phone to a computer -- Facebook would never abandon the App Store, friction to using side-loading would be too high.

I think FTX acted fraudulently rather than breaking a securities or banking law. They told users they were 1:1 and didn’t gamble with user deposits but did it anyway.
