Almost all the developers I work with never started working on a bug until i gave them the right steps to replicate it - even if the bug is reported by a user. A very stupid example i can think of is this: the developer designed a login for

There is a cause for alarm, and some Indians do see that as a threat. Right now, Indian society is caught in a deep web of fake news, false narratives, and the conflating of what the govt is, what the nation is, and the difference between t

Its the volume that makes up for that. Top 100 adverstisers on Facebook make up less than 20% of the total advertising revenue. So, a lot of other subscribers make up a major chunk, and if they increase spend even slightly (given better ROI

Facebook has a long tail of 8 million advertisers (according to their earnings report).Some of the big ones leaving would mean that the relatively smaller ones would get better returns on spend (due to fewer bidders and lower top bid) and i

There is more. Individual ISPs can ban or even slow down websites as per their own wishes. Airtel in india (which is about to raise an investment by Amazon) blocked a lot of websites like Streamable when it wasnt even legally banned. Just s

I meant in more of a generic sense (as to where they were usually applied) than the specific definition of the law. Will definitely read the book if I can find it somewhere. Not based out of US, so might be difficult to find.

Data collection becomes an anti trust issue because as you mentioned, you cant really opt out of the data collection part while continuing to use the service. Even a small social network is sort of a monopoly if all of your friends and fami

Antitrust laws were always based on supply side monopolies, while this is a demand side monopoly, and would be a tricky case for anti trust to prove. If the mandate is to do what is best for customers, then the best solution I can think of

While I do believe they should not have announced it in public, but this could be useful. Steroids are immunosuppressants and end up neutering the immune system. Severe cases for Corona virus ended up due to hyperactive immune system (based

Its not an exact comparison. We use models to analyse the economy but not human behavior. Any sport is a lot about human intelligence, behavior, and skill. Easy to quantify the final output (like numbers that matter such as goals) and compa

This has been a point of contention all the time. Regulators want to shrink the market size as much as possible, and companies want to expand it as much as possible. This is not a way to determine monopoly.

This is the worst of all possible market definitions. That the market is the thing which only this company does. Most of the companies are choosing google (or forced to choose google) because of the reach and the traffic it gets you. They a
