I agree that anyone who has lived or learned through great conflicts (world wars, bloody civil wars, great leap forward, etc) will have a hard time to compare this pandemic to any of that and yet, the reaction I see in many (too many) acqu

That seems to be a narrow interpretation of what OP originally meant as "post 911 world". While direct consequences of that event are localized and ripple effects definitely affected way more than 10% of the world. Think the direc

Yeah, not a lawyer, yet I'm playing devil's advocate. Your's is a fair statement of our state of affairs. All these content distributors rely on increasingly complex models of distributions that rely on people's lack of

If Apple wanted (and they probably are doing it) they could heavily delay the approval of any apps that make use of an engine they seem "risky"... Effectively increasing the costs of those developers using "rogue" engine

I agree with your statement, yet the argument is that you are purchasing a license to consume the eBook and enforcement of that license is partially guaranteed by DRM built into those licensed copies, and since in some jurisdictions it is i

In the (previously) fast growing smartphone market people prioritize other things (mostly software, camera and multimedia playback related things). But in a plateaued market? I think there will be opportunity for differentiation. I certainl

When will they start erasing apps from people's devices? That's what I'm waiting for. App store is an utility in iOS users hands as such it should be regulated as utilities are.

While I agree with Bruce assessment that a lot of Blockchain evangelists push the whole "decentralized trust" or "trustless" or "in code we trust" ideas, I actually think you don't need to buy these ideas
