Also I feel there are 2 other significant variables in play. Software is often an oligopoly type market. Self driving is likely to rewrite car manufacturers to those that solve this well and those that don't. Tesla for right or wrong h

I assume this was said sarcastically because of the wider conspiracy stuff, but I do think this is a problem. Overconcentration of ownership doesn't benefit society. Not only the extremes of monopolies or oligopolies, but generally shi

I think this lack of competitor is the key. When. people talk about Digg dying, that was during the Reddit vs Digg period. Now it's Reddit vs what? Many people love a drama so will beef this event up, but I suspect they will be back to

There is middle ground between doing significant changes all the time and no changes in ~30 years. I was working at a software company years back that was doing this significant interface change. I suggested we have an 'end goal'
