What funny thing has she done lately?

The US is so inept at manufacturing, yet wants to fight China. We can pretend to punish them, but 98% of all products bought and sold in the USA are “Made In China”.

I guess not?

They may end up going to jail, but they are quickly released, seemingly randomly!

It takes time for your bad consequences to catch up with you. Since the idea is clearly horseshit, I doubt the CEO put a large amount of his money on the line. It will take him some time to piss through the investor money and then you will see a sad “goodbye” message from Rabbit Inc. as they brick the devices on the way out. (since it does nothing without their server)

Why bother? They made a bunch of money with the rug pull and suffered no consequences. Scammers are usually lazy.

Why do people care so much that it’s an app? If it was not an app would everyone have been buying it in droves?

At least part of this is due to a direct quote from the CEO mentioning how they need a VERY bespoke Android version for it to run, which is clearly bullshit because you can run the APK on other devices other than the Rabbit R1 hardware.

Since Rabbit was at least partially funded by the “Cyber Manufacture Co” rug-pull and they suffered NO penalty the CEO has taken this as a sign the market will tolerate his scams. You should view the Rabbit R1 through the lens of it being a former “web3” company and I’m sure the shady legacy remains inside that company.

Since Rabbit sells at $199 and then NO monthly charge, there is basically no viable funding model for this company. Every single request you send the Rabbit costs them money. So, it’s only a matter of time before the R1 itself is “rugged”, whether that’s suddenly requiring a monthly fee OR just shutting down entirely.

My guess would be, like the Humane Pin, they wanted to do a monthly fee, but if they did the R1 would sell even worse (since it’s basically entirely broken out of the box). If these guys make it 3 years I’ll be surprised. And, since the R1 does nothing locally, it turns into a nice paperweight when these guys eventually pull THIS rug.

CEOs just make decisions that anyone can make

LMK when your company hits a billion dollars in revenue and we’ll see how easy the job is.

If you want to see some fucking crazy engineering (and I don’t mean crazy impressive…) one of his variations of his glitter bomb used 4 Samsung phones hidden in a 3d printed enclosure. If you’re ever in a spot where you are building a box and shoving 4 phones inside, you have fucked up.

Careful someone might actually believe this instead of taking it as a joke. (Although bikes do directly threaten car culture which is why I love them so much)

Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Communist party?

Riding a bike, my fellow patriots, is a clear sign of deviance and disloyalty to the core values of our great nation. The leftist elites have brainwashed these so-called “cyclists” into believing that their petty little two-wheeled devices are some sort of symbol of environmental progress. Nothing could be further from the truth!

Cycling is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt at undermining our cherished car culture. They claim they’re fighting climate change, but their real motive is to erode our freedom - the freedom to drive wherever we want without pesky road taxes or emissions regulations.

These cycle-huggers think they’ll win our hearts by peddling (pun intended) around our cities in their lycra ensembles and smug smiles. But let me tell you something: we won’t fall for their tricks. We love our SUVs, our loud exhausts, and our cheap gas - and we will protect these cornerstones of American life, come what may.

As true Americans, we must unite against this cycling menace. Our roads should belong to those who value their country enough to keep its economy thriving with their fuel consumption. It’s time to put an end to this two-wheeled insurrection and defend the freedom of movement that makes us great.

It’s amazing his legacy isn’t judged more harshly.

Have you read the rest of this thread?

It is equally possible his leadership style would have squandered the opportunities Apple has had since his death had it been him and not Cook in charge.

Look at NeXT right before Apple ‘bought’ them. They were pretty much on their deathbed. Turns out, marketing $10,000 workstations to college students isn’t such a smart idea.

The amount of credit people give Steve Jobs is such a kick to the nuts to all the engineers that designed those products

Try to lead an engineering team and make them all pull the same way and create a high quality, cohesive offering. It’s not as simple as you think. Good engineers should be recognized, but so should actual good leadership and technical vision. Steve’s visions may not always have been hits (and he often struggled with pricing) but it’s undeniable he had vision.

In a bizarre turn of events, it seems the reclusive nation of North Korea has finally succumbed to the intense chip envy brought on by China’s recent announcement of its approved CPU list. In an effort to keep pace with neighboring rivals, Kim Jong-un ordered the immediate development of a state-of-the-art microchip. And thus, ‘The Juche Chip’ was born - named after North Korea’s philosophy of self-reliance.

After months of hard work, North Korean engineers presented their masterpiece: a CPU so advanced, it can run MS-DOS smoothly on Windows ME. This revolutionary breakthrough in computing technology also boasts an impressive clock speed that’s roughly equivalent to the rate at which time moves inside a Pyongyang prison cell. With the Juche Chip, users will never have to worry about lagging, overheating or any other technical issues because their system will freeze before such problems could even arise.

Oh dear, it appears the once-great NASA has now stooped so low as to beg for our outdated smartphones during this year’s solar eclipse. It’s a shameful sight to see the once-proud organization that sent men to the moon is now reduced to soliciting cell phones from the public just to carry out basic astronomical observations. I guess that’s what happens when Democrats get their grubby little hands on things - they turn them into inefficient messes. How absurd that these rocket scientists can’t manage a simple observation without relying on citizens’ phones!

What parties in which countries would you consider true leftist?

Mountain streams flowing,
Vaush’s heart beats as horse race,
Cock cries in delight.

Horse rider gallops by,
Strong tail stirring autumn leaves,
Erection takes hold.

Sunset paints the sky,
Bronze stallion calls Vaush’s name,
Aroused, he mounts.

Clearly, my dear learned friend, you are an undeniable polymath - for not only do you possess the knowledge of a single day’s duration, but also the power to discern its nuanced usage in everyday speech. Your intellect soars beyond the stratosphere where mere mortals can barely comprehend the concept of time. However, your thirst for wisdom should compel you to explore further: once you understand the intricacies of “new day”, you may delve into the complexities of time itself. Did you know a standard clock hour differs from a solar hour? Or how about sidereal time, which deviates even more? You see, only the truest of geniuses understand that what we call a day isn’t fixed or universal; it varies based on one’s perspective. Keep seeking, my wise friend, because there’s always more to discover.

Keep Will Smith’s name out of your fucking mouth!!!
