I'm wondering why they don't just continue the Vision Pro team and see where it leads them.

Or maybe they are continuing the team, just getting rid of one skill set?

I don't have any VR system, but even I can see it's not ready for Prime Time yet. But that doesn't mean it won't be in the future.

As for marketing of it, it really should be marketed as a desktop/laptop computer replacement.

Comment The amount of gold in the cameras (Score 3, Funny) 132

I think a part of the issue is the amount of gold and other precious minerals in the cameras.

People are using AI to find out about the cameras and the AI is scrapping comments like this and telling people about the gold. Then people take down the cameras to look for the gold.

Then there is the noise factor and the fact that the homeowner may need more electricity (electric car, pool, hot tub, etc).

I built my house. My builder pushed back on me when I asked for a 400A service. He said I'd never need it since I didn't have plans for a pool. Gave me a 200A service.

Now with 2 electric cars, a finished basement, and patio lighting I have two subpanels in addition to the main panel.

I know they must be peeing into bottles and just doing isometric stretching to prevent leg clots, but those guys must really have it rough if 30 minutes every 10 hours is not acceptable.

On the other hand, these fuel consumption numbers assume appropriate temperatures. You make it a little too cold and the fuel consumption goes up dramatically. Tesla car batteries don't like the cold. Source: I drive Tesla since 2014 and have two of them currently.

I am a physician. In particular, I am a cardiologist.

Not a (work-)day goes by that I don't get a new consult for someone who got a CT scan of the chest for screening for lung cancer (because they have a smoking history) that shows calcification of the arteries of the heart. Or maybe it's a self-pay coronary calcium score. Or maybe it's an elevated Lipoprotein (a).

These tests lead to unnecessary consultations and increased anxiety. Not with me, but a lot of other physicians will then order stress tests compounding the unneeded testing.

I spend (waste?) my time explaining to them that the best thing they can do is regular exercise and diet and be on the watch for exertional symptoms. Sometimes it clicks with the patients. Other times they come with the mindset that they need a stress test or need a heart catheterization and will give me a poor review or even try to report my to the hospital network I work for.

A total waste of resources.

The problem with this is that some states want to tax not just the cars that are registered in the state, but all vehicles that drive through the state.

That being said, whatever rule goes into effect for EVs should be for all vehicles.

You want to do it by weight * miles driven? Great! Do it for all vehicles based on weight * miles driven. Make it payable every time you renew your car's registration.

Easily done.

Well noted.

Your (or any other "employee's") health (mental and physical) or death is of no concern to the oligarchs.
Your corpse will be pushed aside, and you will be replaced by another moist robot until it, too dies.
You are not valued by your owners^w employers beyond their ability to become richer through your exploitation.

Does that sound about right?
