Hah! I had forgotten this ad. Using a mac nowadays is definitely just like Windows Vista in this ad.


Wait so a startup that didn’t innovate much should have a bigger moat? If their work can be copied in 2 weeks maybe they don’t have anything?


I’d argue it’s a superior mouse even with the drift, even though I agree that the drift is annoying and am amazed they have not been able to fix it all these years.


I still use it everyday, but it is definitely a love/hate relationship. I imagine I'll switch to an ergonomic keyboard with trackpoint someday soon.


Not sure I follow your reasoning behind his skin color and suicide being causally related

Yeah absolutely this. People seem to be unable to recognise that Britain and the USA are radically different places with different histories and approaches to basically everything. The common language creates the impression that they’re basically the same place.


This is a load of racist twaddle.

Black British people know their own history and have their own lived experience in the UK. I won't speak for them, but I will say for certain only a handful of cretins in the UK, of any ethnicity, are stupid enough to larp as Yanks.

Learn a bit of UK history and current affairs before you mouth off.


I'm not sure I agree on the Black Brits part, but the general problem is real: too many US copycats, in situations where aping the US does not make a shred of sense.


The slaves in Jamaica had a radically different experience then the slaves of America?

The colour bar. Colored Alien Seaman's Order, Kelso Cochrane, Bristol Bus Boycott

Could go up to Brixton incidents or all the attacks on this professor.


You can legally walk into someones home in your country if the door is not locked? Where is that?


Yes, you get pure fructose which is processed by your liver. With normal sugar you get a mix of fructose and sucrose, so less fructose.

Excessive consumption of fructose leads to fatty liver and is just generally bad for you.


This isn't true. Your body breaks sucrose into fructose and sucrose almost instantaneously; in fact, sucrose is so easy to break down that it happens in Coke bottles. Fructose is bad for you, but you're getting just as much of it from table sugar as you would from HFCS.


"breaks sucrose into fructose and glucose almost instantaneously" - I presume what you meant to write?

And that's absolutely true. I think it's easy to hate (more) on HFCS because it literally says "high fructose" in it, and thus easy to come to that conclusion.


Yeah sorry, so many -croses and -coses!


it is not "pure fructose" - they have different levels but usually it is 50% fructose syrups. Lots of fruits have similar ratios to that too, fructose isn't the problem so much as the quantity of it being ingested, but high quantities are glucose or other sugars are also bad when they come in liquid or otherwise highly digestible and fast absorbing foods. Also sucrose, which is table sugar, is indeed also 50% fructose.


HFCS is a mixture of fructose and ~~sucrose~~ glucose. If it was pure fructose it wouldn't be as an effective of cane sugar replacement.


Fructose mixed with glucose, not sucrose (the same typo is in several comments here). Sucrose is composed of glucose and fructose linked together.

When corn starch is processed, the produced syrup is nearly 100% glucose. Because fructose tastes sweeter, lots of corn syrup is further processed, converting much of the glucose into fructose, hence the name high fructose corn syrup.


Oof, yes, sorry, thanks for calling that out!

I have been listening to a whole lot of AI music and it is often better than human generated. I foresee an immense unavoidable shift in the music industry due to this. It is already impossible to distinguish what is AI and and what is human generated music.


> I foresee an immense unavoidable shift in the music industry due to this.

If this happens then I'll take some solace in that at least we have a very large existing collection of older music guaranteed to be made by people, so I won't have to do without.


Can you share a playlist or something so we can see?


Why do American corporate PR statements read like a teen drama novel nowadays?
