The greatest complaint I’ve seen in the ebike space is repairs and maintenance. Specifically, many of these new bikes use nonstandard components requiring specialized tools and trained techs. It’s not a bike you can bring to your average bike shop to get serviced. This article failed to mention anything about this important consideration apart from a bit about the drivetrain.

Revenue. Doesn’t matter what they’re worth.

If you don’t understand why someone is offended you can’t possibly explain why what you did wasn’t acceptable.

Wasn’t this more or less the premise of Chinatown (1974)?

Air Canada does this shit on their flights. Disgusting.

Exqueese me? I thought he was great in bg3.

If only it was the jets that are affected!

They’re not getting it wrong. It’s illegal to SELL the guns if he’s indicted. Reread those sources to see the distinction for yourself.

It’s also funny because he’s actually gay.

When they come knocking they usually also confiscate your hardware, question and interview your friends and family, etc… Good luck with that defense :)

This is actually a huge joke on the film and television industry. Back when Napster blew up the music industry was in a full panic that their industry would die while film and TV were cozy because the media was too large to mass-pirate compared to music.

The music guys figured it out. Cheap subscriptions with massive catalogues that don’t disappear.

Movie and TV still hasn’t figured this out.

Regarding gambling, it’s not quite so simple. Valve doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Many rich people see what goes on in that ecosystem and they lobby their governments to make it easier for themselves to do even more audacious things. Valve can lead by example instead of opening the door

If you didn’t sample 4chan in that time you missed out on a lot of Internet culture. Not everyone posting on there was. It was really entertaining to watch the shitshow.

Do you think any indie developer has the means to achieve a lower cost to distribution and promotion if they try to sell and support the game themselves?

Valve solves many problems for developers and these problems aren’t imaginary and free to resolve.

Not saying 30% is justified for all games, but if you want a quality title it’s going to cost more than just development. Since the Unity debacle we’ve seen some developers even say openly that costs of promotion and support dwarf costs of development.

This is a good thing. People will need to find alternative sources for news. I don’t see a problem.

Or use the energy to desalinate sea water or any of a multitude of other uses for spare capacity.

You think companies are run and operated by fairies?

The assholes are the ones selling cigarettes.

Don’t cook them, make preserves if you can’t manage the amount of food. Or donate it.

Try under water.
