Is there a used electric truck old enough to be $20,000?

There may be a market.

The big 3 have been chasing larger trucks, effectively abandoning this market. I can see this being a farm truck that gets beat to shit.

That’s tech companies for you.

Why else would they make all this for free?

Not characters, but places.

Earth is extremely competitive to gain any notoriety, which is really bad for a lot of people as notoriety and talent have become what is valuable in human society. People leave Earth because, while it is comfortable to live there, it is really hard to move up the social ladder. It is a lot easier to move away to get a better position, hence why humanity still colonizes other planets while Earth is paradise.

The Vulcans, Andorians, and Tellarire civilizations were going into decline when the Federation was formed. This is why Humanity became the dominant species of the Federation; the other species effectively gave up trying to be powers.

And holographic data rods.

I count Enterprise as 1/2 since TNG was the other half.

An android app store is going to cost more than $0 to make.

For a company like Valve, they are going to need greater adoption than what F-Droid has to be viable.

And I didn’t say that a successful app store was impossible, just improbable enough that it doesn’t justify investing in Android and that previous failures show how hard this is. Valve is still a for profit company and will make decisions to make money.

F-Droid’s market share is a rounding error compared to Google’s. Just because another app store exists doesn’t mean there is significant competition between app stores.

Valve didn’t expand Steam into Linux to gain market share in a new market, Valve did it because it is a hedge in case Windows becomes toxic to Steam. There is now a fallback position if Steam is locked out of Windows, and I expect Valve to continue to build in this position.

As for Android, there isn’t a successful second app store that isn’t tied to hardware; even Amazon quit Android. I don’t think Valve sees Android expansion as commercialy viable.

People also seem to forget how much it costs to create content, even shitty listicles.

Or just make it work at scale.

Lemmy at a million users would look far different than it does now.

I’m not surprised. Spez killed two good methods of generating revenue while maintaining a staff that is probably too large and not creating products that generate revenue.

Yeah. I’m just speaking to how China would implement this law.

Likely, they won’t enforce it unless it is problematic content. Once the content becomes problematic, they can get rid of it.

For YouTube, it isn’t so much destroying good faith rather than preventing a competitor from forming with enough traction to threaten YouTube’s business model.

If there isn’t a written down set of features, it sounds like they want you to get done with as much as you can for less than $100,000.

That’s going to require more coordination in your end, since it means holding their hands while they prioritize what minimum features they can accept.

But you’re dealing with the mechanics on their side causing an issue with approval.

At that point, I’d look to remove scope to get under the 100k threshold.

The funny thing in my field is that real life PhD’s tend to be worse than Masters-level staff because they’ve gone so far into theory that they have problems with practical application.

That’s hard to do when you have Alzheimer’s.
