“Spotify already pays nearly 70% of every dollar it generates from music to the record labels and publishers

Sounds like the issue might be with the record labels...

Electric buses have a battery from a probably reputable supplier, with a decent BMS.

Escooters often come from AliExpress.

There is a difference.

Also, a number of them will still fail quickly. Survivorship bias.

Musk said last week: “I disagree with the idea of unions. I just don’t like anything which creates a lords-and-peasants kind of thing.”

Isn't he the world's richest person currently?

The non-Hydrogen, non-Helium atoms are a larger proportion of total mass, but that's just because they're really fat.

You're probably not going to save 95% of the trees given the major earthworks likely needed for managing sewage, stormwater, and other utilities. You'll probably save most of them, though.

40k looks pretty optimistic for the size and number of buildings, too.

As Someone Somewhere, I urge you to post more.

You don't normally need to specify that the sides are parallel if you specify four right angles.

It's not clear, but I think they were referring to the version 1 Pi - the newer ones are much much much faster.

That's not bad pricing wise. There's very very little prosumer gear that's multi gigabit and it's all much higher price, or it's just a PC with several NICs.

If and when we move to hyperfibre this is going to be pretty high up on the list.

A series of such massacres against one people approaches genocide.

Being an SUV, it'll weigh 50% more than necessary. That outweighs almost any other sustainability considerations.

In a lot of the world, a school bus is a normal city bus that gets "school" signs put on the front and back, and runs a specific route. There's not much point in maintaining a dedicated fleet.

It's not just AI, but new android phones drive me spare.

You can't disable that. You can't uninstall that. You can't make a backup of the whole phone. You can't make a backup of one app and restore it to a different phone, unless you go through Google. We're going to install these apps you don't want, and there's no way to cancel it.

I'm not too fond of calling this a 'tax'. Tax money goes to funding actually useful things. Conservatives want you to think that giving money to the government and throwing it down the toilet are the same thing.

Until the day comes that I get a letter in the mail from the government saying, "Here's how much you paid in taxes, if you're cool with that then please disregard", I will not be satisfied.

NZ does that. More accurately, they email you to tell you that there's a letter available online - I don't think they send physical mail by default.

Then they pay any refund straight into your nominated bank account.

There's always this one:

There are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are stars in the entire solar system.

40% thrown away does not necessarily imply all others are better.

Normally imperfect produce goes to processing plants (juice, cans, pies etc.) but I'm not sure if there's any significant market for banana chunks/puree.

Lemmy.ml has a whole bunch of swear filters.

It honestly seems like these are questions that don't need asking.

You've provided no context about what you like and don't like, so you won't get any kind of a personalised response.

What are you expecting to get out of asking this as a question, that you don't get by simply going to Rotten Tomatoes?

This would be a waste of commenters' time, and that's why it's being downvoted.
