It's more nuanced than that.

Tariffs do not always 100% immediately get passed on to buyer.

If there's a $100 product you'd like to purchase and there's a 100% tariff, it won't be $200.

That product was made abroad, let's for $20. So the tariff should be $20, not $100.

The US-based owner will go to the supplier, say they're getting squeezed by tariffs and first they'll try to see what they can do to recategorize the tariff, or negotiate with their supplier to absorb some of the expense. Let's say that got it down to $15. The owner still doesn't want to increase costs by 15%, so they'll hold off for a while and absorb, and then eventually maybe increase 5-10 and absorb further; perhaps eventually going the full stretch - maybe not.

Just taking a glance and main benefit I'd say is offline support - which they also recently added to their mobile app.

Also being able to make it your default app for email (and hopefully calendar?)

Ha - I have this issue even with non-AI voice assistants like Alexa.

"Hey Alexa, turn the lights to..." thinks for a second while I decide on my mood

"I don't know how to set lights to that setting"

"...blue... damnit."

Fair play - I'll check.

No it's not.

I've heard both "This has done things more intelligently than me and prevented errors I would've made" and also "This made errors"

Statistically, it's better than human drivers. But of course, if a machine makes an error - it's going to get more headlines.

Seems like a mixed bag. Parents, eldest sister and eldest all have Teslas and have done cross-country road trips with no problems, and use FSD very regularly. Brother, also the most cynical (and probably on HN), swears it's out to kill him and claims it nearly put him under a truck had he not taken over.

Yes, but investors move in and out of cash positions. Bershire Hathaway is currently sitting on $334 billion in cash. If you're an active investor, you'll have periods of both buying and selling - so you'll have cash, or you won't have cash. To assume 100% is allocated at all times is incorrect.

Buy the dip?

Creatine is quite literally the most researched supplement in the world. It's safe, effective, and recommended by both gym rats and doctors in any field. It's naturally occurring in many foods.

It's the only supplement that's actually given insanely effective results for my own anecdotal use.

Any study that says otherwise I'm just going to assume is complete BS. Normally I'd give something a chance and read their evidence, but this is practically up there with someone trying to argue the world is flat for me.

I wasn't going to play all the way through - but felt like I'd be a tease if I just stopped

I pretty much immediately bounced due to your website design. Idk how to describe it - but, I guess just too much going on? I had zero interest in actually reading any of it because it was just so... I don't know.

Turn it into a normal ol' expected ecom product page so I can actually read and just click and see things and different angles and such and I would've stayed.

But good luck!

You're arguing the counter, but all you did was prove their point that these expenses can be classified according to a situation.

I don't think you understand the purpose of a Framework laptop.

Just wanted to give another shout to FastMail. I'm a super happy user. I originally switched over for business reasons as it had a lot of features I liked. The past year, I exported my gmail history to it and setup forwarding so now I'm 100% on it for personal and business. So much cleaner.

Paid service - but with all the features + privacy of not being on Google (Well, anything going to my gmail still goes through - but slowly moving away) + they have excellent and fast customer support - all makes it worth it.
