The gp post did say "good standards," so I'm assuming that means open, unbiased ones.
- CharlesW 5y ago> ftfy I think the double quotes are meant to suggest that all open source contributions by Google and Apple are bad, somehow? I love the idea of "unbiased" though, as if contributors to standards must have no opinions about the standard one way or the other in order to be "pure".
- lostcolony 5y agoYep. Good standards = healthy competition in the space. Standards that basically just standardize what someone has already done, standards that require special licensing, require a high degree of effort to implement, etc, all create competitive advantages for large incumbents.
