You already said that the law is not being followed. What makes you think another law will solve that problem? There is paper and there is human desire. Human desire is no longer bound by paper. Adding more paper will NOT help in this situation.

You have a valid point; however, the difference between a million and a billion is about a billion. Mozilla get millions per year, not billions.

Probably because it used to dabble in crypto-currency behind the scenes. I am not certain about its crypto stance right now, but if it is there still, then at least it is fully publicly acknowledged... but the image was tainted with their initial dishonesty. Get past that and you may have a popular browser on your hands.

He was likely paid by Google to try to influence people away from using Firefox because Firefox is able to run uBlock Origin which appears to be able to bypass all of their restrictions on skipping ads.

Nothing interesting here, just Google being the typical large and arrogant tech company.

Normally, I love reading the remarks that caused these type of replies. It is frequently hilarious. In this case, I am confused. What obvious and silly lie was told?

It was worded 'harshly', but I am not seeing the obvious and silly lie? (interesting, the CAPTCHA is not an actual word today: verland)

This is only happening because the "official" news channels do not tell the truth anymore. They hide LOTS of information from the people. Social media is kind of democratizing the news because of these conditions; however, it leaves lots of room for bad actors to sway public opinion.

All that effort to ensure fairness while Trump and Bush both evaded the draft. Kind of a waste of time eh?

Hm. It wasn't that long ago that America was #1 in pure research. It may even still be... for a few more months.

These are people who do not have external standards to measure against... despite following a book that has very clear written standards that they claim to be measuring against. They are weak and useless.

As if the poors will be receiving any education at all in the future. The non-poors will get propaganda based education. Reality no longer matters... until it does.

Why not? Instead of one 60AH module for a moped, you would have 10 for your work truck. No big deal. No stress.

Too true... however, it makes finding good music infinitely harder as AI is incapable of doing things that make the song special and unique while maintaining artistic integrity.

Take Creep by Radiohead. If they didn't have that guitar string scratching thing in it at one point, would the song have been as good? Once you hear that, you can almost toss out the rest of the song.

Wait, am I arguing against common music here?

You REALLY can't think of a way for this happen reasonably? Seriously?

Look, I apologize for the derisive response. It is not helpful.

You appear to be fixated on "owning" the battery. That is fine, you can keep your ultra special brand spanking new battery and even pay to have it recycled and replaced. You are not required to exchange it. You can keep recharging it all that you want... until it dies. Then, you can buy another brand spanking new battery for full price while also paying the disposal price for the now-old and used battery.

Or, you can start out with one of the "battery time" batteries that are made to be swapped out. You only pay for the first battery, but you don't have to pay for disposal or for a "new" battery. You only pay for the electricity used with a small fee on top to cover the eventual recycling of the batteries over time.

So you get to work with your toddler style ownership if you want, but I am betting that eventually, most everyone will choose the swappable batteries as the costs of recycling and repurchasing becomes too much for the average person to want to deal with. The capital costs are killer to own rather than swapping in a system.

In China, there are moped style scooters with swappable batteries. There is a vending machine where you put your uncharged batteries in and pull out charged batteries. The batteries are recycled once they fail to charge over 90% (I don't recall the exact number).

Who cares if the battery case is scuffed as it is never seen except when exchanging.

Every roadblock you have mentioned is merely a prejudiced perspective that needs to be overcome. There was not a single technical issue mentioned.

My sanity may be questioned, but seriously folks, wake the fuck up. Y'all are acting insane. Battery swapping *IS* the way forward until the tech changes.

Weird. I was told quite vigorously that Java was faster than C much of the time. How is Swift faster than Java, and by reference, C?

Bunch of crazy mother fuckers fantasizing about Reality to push their latest mental illness insight.
