  • … Yes that is how production works in a healthy economy. You have multiple companies competing for the same consumers, resulting in over production.

    Cars are a luxury object that are entirely unnecessary, so they aren’t a centrally planned industry.

    The extra then gets sold off. But the fact you simply cannot buy most Chinese ev brands outside of china (and some belt and road countries) kinda proves the point. Besides BYD and Rivian, you’re not finding many Chinese evs outside of china, and those are just two of the top twenty manufacturers.


  • …why did the single most transformative event in terms of working from home on non work supplied devices change how companies deploy apps?

    That obvious question and answer aside, everything has been moving from installed apps to web apps over the last decade. Office365 was the nail in the coffin for traditionally deployed applications, as now businesses didn’t need to update a hundred thousand deployments, just have them login in like they have always done. Not to mention web apps also tend to work on phones and tablets without any addition development work or training.

    Have you just been out of it for the last decade or what? Have you just been out of a job for that entire time? Especially with how we assembly has been developed there are exceedingly few cases where you need to have anything but a browser installed for work. I’ve been with three companies in the last 5 years. The only system requirements was a chrome browser and fast enough hard lines internet. Two of those companies were fortune 100, so its not like this is just happening with startups using SaaS providers to cut down on costs.








  • Not really. Most people under 25 grew up on Chromebooks, not windows. Most people over 25 that aren’t tech savvy have been systematically moved to exclusively use web apps for whatever thing they’re doing. And based on browser numbers they can recognize a chrome logo to click on.

    Anyone even slightly tech savvy, and I’m including people that use a computer for anything other than web based apps as tech savvy, has heard of Linux and can figure out what pretty icon to click on.

    This isn’t 1994, Ubuntu was made for the iPhone generation, windows 11 was made for the iPhone generation. They’re both babby mode oses for people that think google is a program.
