That depends on the definition of the market. Big Co.s under antitrust scrutiny like to present themselves as being just small parts of some huge markets, like Jeff Bezos recently saying that Amazon is actually not that big when you compare

Come on, don't repeat urban myths. There were some cases where panicked people welded their neighbors' doors at the height of the epidemic in China (because they were so scared about transmission and getting sick themselves), but

We need to go deeper! Soon we'll have a machine learning algorithm conjure Mac OS by calculating the next frame to display, taking into account user input, based on watching thousands of hours of normal Mac OS usage

It also continues to be unable to win wars against insurgents hiding in mountains. Winning is hard in general.

Well, this is sound, but then again this is also exactly what groups content with status quo (say, a government that continues to kill innocent people) would like you to do – nothing

That's interesting. Why the difference?

Alexandra Road or Barbican Estate are pretty brutal in their brutalism, but Cité radieuse is just a very nice apartment building. Pretty upscale too.

That depends on the market. There are valid reasons for states to get involved in business: * some markets can never be free due to their nature (their services are not negotiable): e.g. medical care, pharmaceuticals * some markets just cre

Why can't the government compete with private business? Competition is good. And certainly a better use of taxpayer money than just massively funding private corporations (vide Lockheed, Boeing)

This is not at all how things are. 1. Experts did not capitulate on shutdowns. And protesting can't exactly be banned if that's what you mean. Really though it were the current president's supporters that so badly wanted ess

As much as I don't like consolidation of tech, I've had really good experiences with Google Meet. No scummy practices like forcing users to pretend that the app installer doesn't download just to connect from the browser eith

Pinterest is a horror, there are Google searches where half the results visible at first are Pinterest links with various TLDs (pinterest.com, .fr, .de etc.)

I really like the Facebook redesign. Looks great and is just as usable as the previous version (which isn't really a high bar, but can't say there was regression). Reddit isn't that bad too, though it definitely deserves bett

I think they are, read some comments by a PubMed dev here on HN a while back, if I'm remembering correctly. It was not under such a clickbaity article though and the redesign was generally praised there.

Seems like a tough effort to be honest. Nah, I'd rather use a few hundred thousand dollars that I just have laying around to pay some established politicians.

Surprisingly, VS Code has such useful tooltips built-in for npm's `package.json` and completely lacks them (even with the official Python extension) for pip's `requirements.txt` (or `constraints.txt`). This extension fixes that ov

As always, the capital owners just have their significant net worths temporarily reduced by 10-18% (looking at NYSE/NASDAQ/LSE) while millions lose 100% of their paychecks.

The franchiser exploited them by offering abysmal conditions and lowering the bar for all other employers.

Corrupt government aside, it's a fantastic building, one of the most impressive in Europe IMO. Absolutely beautiful and monumental, built when it was still Austria-Hungary. I recommend anyone visiting Budapest to see it at night and to

The current ruling coalition of Poland is pro-EU funds only, these notwithstanding they are always sure to blame Brussels for every woe and go out of their way to please Washington instead of integrating with Europe. They're also hard

The previous center coalition that had ruled Poland for 8 years was pretty bad, but they did nowhere near the damage to rule of law as is being done now by right-wing populists (crippling the judiciary, outright propaganda in state TV, open

The virus is pretty much the sole cause of the crash (with some oil price war influence), nobody could have foreseen this to occur this year or even within a few decades.
