Considering it doesn’t have to carry much weight, why couldn’t they make it out of wood to cut costs?

> There's a culture of indifference, an embrace of mediocrity.
Even worse, it's become a sort of cultural expectation. Among my friend group here in the UK, people think you're weird for even trying and classify you as a tryhard for simply doing well. It's very different to Asia and I'm not surprised the UK is falling behind.
It’s different when in general the experience interacting with a government bureaucracy is poor, and government produces expensive and inefficient outcomes these days. As opposed to big tech which is creating huge profits and new technology.
Another dark pattern is consistently underestimating the time to be picked up by a driver. The estimate is always something like 3 minutes, but often the wait time is more like 7 minutes.
Same for Uber Eats. They estimate 25 minutes for a drop off, but it's often more like 45 minutes.

Interesting how this process has barely evolved over many decades.

I needed a new mounting plate for my Nest Protect Smoke + CO Monitor. I was out of warranty and Google support gave me a run around saying they don't sell that part and I would need to buy a whole new Nest Protect. After complaining a bit they caved and sent me.... a whole new Nest Protect. How can you be so against providing spare parts? There are only a few required for the whole product.
Watching this video I just assumed the logic board removal was some aside, not necessary to replace the battery. Nope! Looking at their 13" guide this entire process is necessary to perform a battery replacement. Given everything else is solid state and will probably never fail it makes even less sense to block battery replacement behind them. The Air is an awesome device to use but wow... what a terrible design for battery replacement.
Batteries should last for years more than previous generations. Battery life is so good I only charge at most once a day.

I get the sense that Dorsey played Musk hard. Musk heard what he wanted to hear, and Dorsey walked away with a cool billion. Musk is wrecking the place and laying the ground for the next thing, which Dorsey was already working on.
Except Dorsey left his billion with Musk

Does any state do that? I'd think it could cause a civil war damn fast.
The nexus is "where the work is performed" or "where the employee resides" and usually states have agreements with the neighboring states so it balances out.
New York State does this. No civil war so far.
