Sounds like you have something a little like Carmel, California:

https://ci.carmel.ca.us/post/addresses

A unique characteristic of Carmel-by-the-Sea is that there are no street addresses. Properties are identified, for example, as being on the "west side of San Antonio Street, 3 houses south of 12th Avenue". In addition to this, many owners give their homes a name. The name you choose does not have to be approved or registered with the City.


reminds me of The Parable of the King's Toaster...

it ends with:

The king wisely had the engineer beheaded, and they all lived happily ever.


The king wisely had the computer scientist beheaded and they all lived happily ever after.

IT consultant detected.

It might be that exercise right as you get up in the morning might have 100% roi if you sleep better that night. (meaning 30 minutes of morning exercise might overcome 30 minutes less sleep but more efficient sleep)

This sounds like the feature creep tesla always struggled with.

also, no mobile app? that is a feature.

The appeal of this vehicle is that it IS like your 1998 ranger, not: mobile app = data collection = monetized vehicle = mobile upgrades = basically all the things that are bad with technology.

Honestly, all these "monetized experience" companies forget that (like matt ridley's rational optimist says) with trust, trade is unlimited.


I would pay more for "made in the usa", but it usually goes along with a trusted brand, and usually for a product with decent design and durability.

Think snap-on hand tools or darn-touch socks.

There are plenty of brands that don't have much meaning behind them though, having cut costs or sold out.


lol, Microsoft has been doing this kind of thing for a while...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_litigation#Antitrust


While its fair to claim Microsoft has legal issues, I'm not sure what similarity you are drawing to what Cursor is doing.

It's what is motivating Microsoft to prevent what Cursor is doing.

All cursor is doing is saying this blob of crap is compatible with their fork and letting you run it. This is akin to browsers supporting extensions from other browsers, and many other scenarios.

What Microsoft is doing is trying to prevent VSCode from becoming spontaneously obsolete because coding with Cursor a) removes you from VSCode and b) does it better.


Microsoft spends dev time to make a C++ extension for VSCode, gives it for free to VSCode users. I feel like Microsoft has the right to say don't use our proprietary application out of "official" VSCode. Microsoft however can't claim that 3rd party extensions can only be used in "official" VSCode.

I have heard good things about GrapheneOS

Me too. Too bad it can only be installed on Google hardware. Instead of giving $$$ to a surveillance corporation, I'd rather give it to small Linux phone vendors who are on the user's side from day one!

GrapheneOS is riding on decades of Google-funded development and is thus pretty great. Linux phone development never had that kind of funding but we are getting there slowly but assuredly through user funded development and community involvement.


I kind of wonder if they have to dominate to be the unquestioned leader.

Like Steve Jobs dominating the whiteboard, or Elon Musk angrily emailing in early Tesla after not being mentioned by PR at the beginning.


I kind of wonder if without this, results would be minimal.

What if your amazon search for neoprene shorts said: "there are only 3 available in your size, all only available in plaid."

What if netflix told you: "you watched all the good scifi movies"

but we could dream right?

I would love for the amazon search results to have sidebar checkboxes that had a 3-way toggle.

Like if you searched for an air purifier and one of the features was wifi. It would be great if you could leave it alone, toggle it to check it (with wifi), or toggle it again to X it (without wifi)

would be great to search for dumb tvs


could be anything nowadays.

Could be an apple device. During setup there's a Privacy screen that links to 1000 pages of privacy policy - and not one setting you can change.
