> Apple buys Waymo and becomes dominate force in automated driving Isn't Waymo part of Alphabet? Google won't let them easily go to a competitor I think that will dominate the world

> China will have huge social reform in favor of citizens What is your rational? All the current signs showed the opposite tendency. On my first thought, I'd say it's the Cold War that is coming, not any social reform. But on second thought, there are indeed possibilities, if you follow the argument, that lead to a social reform in favor of citizens, is either (1) The state believes the nation is powerful enough (in terms of politics, economy and culture) so the rulers can launch reforms without threatening their own powers, or (2) The current political-economic system is unsustainable, reforms must be done. Both are possible, but I'm still in favor for the prediction of an upcoming Cold War, or at least an intensified international conflict. > Blocking ADs in browser will not be possible anymore. It's possible. > Oracle buys IBM Let's hope for the best.
