Not necessarily everyone, but saturating their addressable market. Imagine this simplistic model of Netflix's finances: they pay ABC $1M/year for ShowA. They have 100k customers in year 1 @ $10/mo, so (ignoring operational ov

I agree. Google is the canonical example of one of these horizontally integrated companies, but they're a very unique case. They use their reach to intake massive amounts of data which increases the value of their advertising. It isn&#

Other thing: Their entire revenue stream is based on percent fees from current assets. During market downturns, total assets drop, which means their revenue drops. Not only are more of their customers likely to withdraw funds during a downt

Is Kal Pen famous or something? I just copied the name from the Twitter profile.

Or maybe its just because he is the President of the United States. I find it incredible that some people feel so strongly that these rules and terms have to apply perfectly equally to everyone. That's not reality. If Twitter existed i

I believe these are also the chips that will come to the 13" MBP w/o TouchBar. We'll see how the thermals look, but call me excited.

Good point. That being said, TS does suffer from something unique, in its JS interop. If my C program interfaces with a C library, I have great certainty that all of these were compiled at some point, and the types are sound (as much as C a

Thank you EFF; You've earned a recurring donor. I will also be removing all of my domains from GoDaddy and Google Domains. If you support net neutrality, you fundamentally cannot support the actions of these companies. These two idea

Damore self-identifies as autistic [1]. Are you seriously suggesting that the proper course of action is that a mentally ill individual should receive training on how to speak and think from his corporation? What has the world come to where

This is unfortunately very disappointing. It practically can't even compete with a 1080 at the same price, and that card has been out for a year now. Really goes to show how far ahead Nvidia is.

YouTube is balking at their own size. They're discovering what should have been obvious to anyone; the sheer amount of content entering their centralized system is impossible to moderate in any fair way. The only way they can manage is

That might be. I'm not up to date on the research. That being said, very few people just "get money" without working an incredibly demanding job. There have been plenty of stories into lottery winners, who after winning becom

But sane people, generally, do not attain positions of power. If they did, our system would usurp them in favor of someone "insane". Its something that is fundamental to how some humans operate. If I'm President and I don&#x2

This is similar to something Jordan Peterson has argued [1]. In short: Societies which afford economic rights to women have flourished, but women pay a huge price for it. The question shouldn't be "why aren't more women in po

I think that's a fine solution, but its looking at the wrong problem. Consider an app like Discord [1], which is built using React Native and is thus a "native" app with some additional cruft like a JS runtime. It clocks in a

Slack on my computer, with five teams, consumes 1.8gb of RAM. Microsoft Word, with a multi-page complicated document, is using 200mb. Just because we _have_ the resources to allow applications to bloat doesn't mean we should be alright

Plenty. Discord, VSCode, and MongoBooster are all apps that I feel hit 90% of native performance while still being based on web tech. Hyper terminal is another one which has very specific reproducible performance issues, but overall is pret

Companies like Hyper [1] should be put on notice. This is a surprisingly unique product. AWS ECS and GKE both require some form of management of the underlying VM. A lot of that management is abstracted away, but not in the same way this is

But corporate policies can also uninstall it. I've been on plenty of corporate or educational machines without it installed. You're trying very hard to be a victim here. It isn't optimal that it is removed from the stock OS,

But the core of the argument is that this isn't pure capitalist economics; the government is essentially subsidizing China's ability to compete in America. It'd be one thing if China could make it and ship it for legitimately

No it is not. The word "illegal" gets thrown around way too much; it has a very specific definition in law, and nothing you described is illegal.

And even the spam isn't a very good argument. You could easily set your email account to block everything that isn't from a specific domain. You can even do this in Gmail.

I'm ok with this. I think the fear of important BI data entering a competitor's platform is real. Yes, its a bit of a tinfoil hat, but if the cost of using a different platform like Azure or GCP is roughly the same... I'm fin

They do store a complete history of messages for non-paying teams. You can test this by paying for a month of Standard on a team that is really old; the conversation history will immediately expand backward until the beginning of time. Stop

Their testing methodology doesn't appear to have vaporized the liquid. I wonder if this has an impact on the results, given that the method of producing the gas is different.
