I'm not super into ChromeOS (only used it once or twice) but until they're 10% of market share I'll support them against Windows to keep the OS landscape diverse.

That's why Enterprise vendors try so hard to get startups using their stuff. Lock-in is so strong. I can't imagine having a working system at a 100 person company and then trying to migrate to something else unless the current s

It's a business - they're targeting revenues. Making it multi-platform would take alot of effort and the value just isn't there for them right now. The smart move is for them to become awesome on iOS (maybe they're clo

By friends we mean IT leadership in organizations which really needs to be making the case for MacOS, Linux, ChromeOS, or whatever instead of (but more likely in addition to) Windows.

These are also political decisions and the EU is much more powerful politically than Switzerland so if your adversary is the US and they're willing to use lawfare or more than you should probably go with the EU and not Switzerland. Ge

If you believe in the moral of it then it's not signaling in the first place. It's only virtue signaling if you do it just to get acceptance or mating or something like that (e.g. I love barbecue but this girl I'm trying to

You know you're at a fancy restaurant when the waiters have an entire dish emulating what the poors are eating. Reminds me of a restaurant I used to really like in NYC called 'Peasant' :-/

Some of them of course are invented whole cloth. British Received Pronunciation was invented and needs to be learned and is the standard of the upper class. It's neither right nor wrong but it's there to differentiate.

Green energy is super useful for heating in winter. At this point heat pumps are better than gas in almost every way unless the temperature is well below freezing. So it's just a matter of electricity which Italy and Belgium can get

I was gonna say people have been hating on M$FT for decades. It started for me 20+ years ago. I'm glad to see that Azure is creating a whole new cohort of haters - just like good ol' Vista.

That may be true recently but there was alot of effort required to unseat Homo economicus as the sole building block of economic theory.

These startup techniques were never meant to guarantee success - they were just meant to be techniques to use to more quickly and cheaply get you to the point where you can understand if the hypothesis is correct in the market (and to then

It's definitely a topic of conversation in Reddit, etc... However I agree that the push to reduce US dependence by EU companies (and countries) is hampered by the fact that US stuff is already embedded (Microsoft but also Google, etc.

The Beats brand was a great entrée to an entire market segment that Apple was trying to better access. I'd say it was a masterful acquisition (and integration).

I would put it all on cookies. No third party cookies (at all) - good. JS and CSS and even autoplay video is fine as long as there are no third party cookies. That would make the Small Web bigger but it would get to the main point. I&#x2

It's interesting how they found the unused code. Are there enough real world participants who would allow tracing in order to understand what other codeblocks are unused in the real world and put in deprecation notices? I kind of won

No 'private' meaning that the transaction is between the lender and the borrower without a public rating agency involved (Moody's, etc...). This used to be for niche things like a data center where a rating agency might have

Infinite downside is theoretical. The bigger problem that I learned a long time ago is that the leadership of every company is fighting against the stock going down. So if you're long a company then your interests are aligned. If yo

I'd also venture to say that most phones and bank apps are more secure than laptops and websites. Phones are much more locked down by the vendors.

Yeah the source code isn't really such a big deal aside from helping to find vulnerabilities. The PII is a real disgrace.

Interestingly that's one of the Marxist critiques. The market simply is not efficient enough to work fully. The effort to get Lego2 off the ground is simply too high and Lego gets an effective monopoly in their market segment (premiu

I can imagine doing that for Linux ... but why tech people battle Windows at this point is beyond me.

There's some of that but I remember 15 years ago this investor in our startup emailed the founder and misspelled the name of the startup that they had just pumped a significant amount of money into :-) The founders said it was very &#x

Yeah I don't know what this person is on about. Lego is obviously premium and ... charges premium prices because ... they're a business. People (consumers) who want premium products ... pay the premium. I would be much more frus

Yeah I really would like to know how many bots are on reddit (and on particular subreddits/threads) and also how many are here! The interesting thing though is that the bots are just cheaper versions of real human influencers. So noth
