This is not an honest interpretation of how we practice this. We do not terminate the company that achieves monopoly, we don't even stop them from succeeding.

This is not an honest interpretation of how we practice this. We do not terminate the company that achieves monopoly, we don't even stop them from succeeding. We simply ensure that others can continue to compete as well. Occasionally when called for we have broken up companies that are in too many spaces at once -- but even then we tend to do that extraordinarily rarely.
It's a bummer when the chosen line of argument is this straw man victimhood a la Atlas Shrugged.

No, "their product is too good" (which they are) is not a valid argument. If you argue Nvidia is deliberately not producing as many GPUs to keep prices high, first you'll have to see if they're just not getting bottlenecked by TSMC and second you will also have to bring in AMD and possibly Intel along for price fixing which by definition isn't a monopoly.

- bryanlarsen 2y agoIs Nvidia doing anything to prevent ZLUDA or ROCm from succeeding?
- hot_gril 2y agoThey made CUDA though. And they still support the open standards.
