Imagine if Microsoft had not only bundled Internet Explorer with Windows but also blocked all other competing browsers!

To make the irony worse, the pension returns are dependent on allocating their capital to monopolies which are able to capture excess returns. Re-allocating profits from shareholders to workers de-funds the pensions (and retirees more broad

The third party keyboard apps are a big question for the OP. Another consideration, there are companies that track and sell geolocation data. It's "anonymized" but so precise you know the street address a user resides at. It

I think there is probably a record breaking class action lawsuit here with the right lawyers. Damages could be 50-100% of Google's yearly gross revenue, especially when you include countries outside on the US who really don't like

This is a very important point. Others have alluded to this, but I'll make a larger claim: human artists actually are doing very little that is original. The styles, composition, and subjects are all derivative works. That means their

These images are good for satire, spoofs, and comedy but they definitely won't be fooling anyone.

I never saw it create anything more NSFW than female boobs. It won't generate penises or genitals besides mounds of hair. Right now the "NSFW" flag/filter is 99%+ false positives. This is stuff that used to be allowed in

Novacene was a little more optimistic than this obituary ended.

It's also terrible for real long term projects to be continually renaming things and modifying naming conventions. Engineering isn't fashion.

Also they have a vaccine that may not work.

This isn’t even an EDR specific issue — if someone makes an extraordinary request you should verify it, and if you don’t you are probably falling for scams constantly.

The other big problem is the trucks that drive around constantly loading/unloading the scooters. Often they park on the sidewalk, fully blocking anyone from getting through. One time I saw a driver back in to a woman was as trying to c

I think a lot of these yields from “crypto” are on paper, and it’s misleading the “defi” operators and their investors in to thinking they have huge returns. That’s the only way that would systematically explain lending tokens at very high

The building could collapse, be condemned, there could be any number of natural disasters. You can end up in a situation where you owe a lot of money on the mortgage, interest rates move up, and the value drops, so now you can’t move. If so

Yeah but how much money did Apple make before the iPhone? Maybe they should be paying the telecoms for all this data use.

Usually during a bull market no one squeals. When the party ends, everyone looks for someone to blame.

I’m not an expert here, but apparently for Google the default is worth at least $1b a month.

I would have been horrified if I saw what websites would look like in 2010+ when I first started using the web. The amount of unnecessary garbage and JS added to sites goes well beyond the adtech part. Half or more of sites using frameworks

That is wrong. Not sure where you got that idea from.

I’m not sure if there is any difference. They are assuming that their “AI” is acting alone and in a very narrowly defined context. What’s to say the human voluntarily entered this capsule and the “AI” does what that person wishes? One could

PC gamers just hate having any other game stores besides Steam. In the long run, a Steam only world is not good for anyone.

From telling people it wasn’t airborne and they shouldn’t wear masks to saying no booster shots, their credibility is toast.

Eventually there will be zero natural gas - either it will all be used up, or it will banned - so I think the answer is yes?

The irony is that the crypto prefix in cryptocurrency refers to cryptography, which basically no one involved knows a damn thing about. I’ll leave it at this Wikipedia excerpt: “Cryptosporidium, sometimes informally called crypto” https:&#

What you see over time is that as products mature, they add advertising and then saturate it. The reason is filling your product with ads kills retention, so you can’t do this early on. The interesting part to this is that once the competit

Assuming it was 99.99999% foolproof, then you may have some other problems which are even bigger: kidnapping, having children to collect their coins, etc. The big logic flaw here is the same one as when the Soviet Union collapsed and shares
