Back then people really didn't have much of a choice. Nowadays most things happen in browsers anyways, WINE/Proton have come a long way, and alternatives to almost anything windows-only have reached a critical quality threshold.

Or maybe they're right. Not too long ago many messengers and social networks all had their own set of emojis. Some supported even custom ones. The convergence on Unicode is very recent.

Nice comment. Too bad it's immediately proven wrong by reality and hard numbers. Also as a side note: We were talking about ultra wealthy, not people with some wealth. For the US as a whole only about 10-15% of startup capital ultima

Do you believe the vast majority of investment happens because someone like Elon Musk personally goes around to give every little venture money? Here's a non-exhaustive list of ways the wealth of multiple people can be pooled: creating

This really depends on where you are are. Some countries' populations, especially those known to value privacy, are extremely distrustful of anything associated with Facebook or Google.

Complete nonsense. You don't need ultra-wealthy for that. Also many vehicles for the less-wealthy to pool wealth exist.

If your economy is based on producing things of real value rather than management of wealth, this is a good thing.

Imgur only has yearly revenues of around $30m. The money they make in the UK specifically likely doesn't justify wasting resources on compliance.

The FAA has a budget of USD ~23,000m. Surely you can fit in some experts there. EASA fills a similar role on a budget a 100 times smaller (in USD it's ~300m), paying for ~800 personnel. The main difference is that EASA doesn't han
