I'm not particularly familiar with US antitrust law specifics... One big point that came up in the congressional hearing the other day was how Google, when buying DoubleClick, said (under oath to congress) that not only would they not

I should have read the article before commenting! But I guess that means Apple aren't worried, either because their contracts are solid enough and/or they already have backup plans ready that are cheaper than buying ARM. (Or, of c

Stock market valuations are forward-looking, but they aren't always predicting the right future. Personally I won't be betting on or against Intel - it wouldn't shock me if they follow the Nokia route, it also wouldn't s

If Apple are worried about that prospect, couldn't they easily outbid Nvidia to buy ARM?

Pure uneducated guesses from me: maybe the reason for giving up on Denver would no longer be a reason if they owed ARM. Or maybe they see a future use of ARM's tech that will either benefit them to own, or that scares them that ARM com

It's a bit of both, and subjective, imo. As an example, pretty much every item of food is "luxury" if based on necessity alone. From bread to the cheapest vegetable in your location - except for items that might be the only l

It's one thing if I accidentally delete a file without a warning, but can easily undo it. But if someone logs in to access my files without authorisation... they've got them now. I can't click undo on them having read my priv

The actual data is more complicated than "96% accurate", but I'm not the best person to deep dive on the numbers and give a better analysis. However from reading the abstract of the actual study, it seems the TLDR is "mo

Yeah it was definitely the case back when you could see other people's comment scores that there were often examples far lower than -4. Don't know when the change was made, this subject has made me notice just how long ago I first

If an account is created and posts a single comment that lots of people downvote it, that wouldn't send their profile to (and beyond) -12? (Generally speaking, I know the user discussed has commented more than once.)

There's a fairly commonly held view that improving education access means giving people more ways out of poverty and therefore less people choosing armed forces as their career. It seems intuitive to me that as war technology progresse

Congress held this hearing as part of their looking at what changes to make to the law / changes to force the companies to make, so maybe they'll look at legislation that would change the situation (for example, some way of forcin

I feel you are missing the point of my comments. I wasn't arguing anything about the disease itself, only about how to approach understanding and talking about it. Additionally... the article submitted that we're all commenting in

Excellent source, thanks! I wasn't the one who asked for citation, and didn't mean to imply that you were wrong at all in my comment just that one patient's example isn't a good way of proving something about a disease.

Completely fine to bow out, and if you don't reply to this comment I won't infer that it means you agree I'll assume you're still bowing out. But if you sometimes write health articles, I feel it worth saying: health art

Even for non-pillpopping writers, I imagine it's often more interesting to make a character take drugs/medicine than not. Ultimately, a lot of the world's views of America are shaped by the versions we see in fiction - I&#x27

Apologies for misreading your comment, but you did describe a pizza cementing your view. We all have cognitive biases, including the most intelligent, accomplished people anywhere. Plenty of research shows that the placebo effect is a very

I'm not disputing your claims. Not because I specifically agree (or disagree) with them. Personally, I also consider myself in a pretty good position to judge this stuff, however I decided a while back that even when I think I'm s

Stuff like "well I'm getting on a flight, time to pop a couple of xanax" seems much more common in films/TV that America exports than, say, real life in the UK. I know plenty of people who use illegal drugs but still h

It's worth remembering that just because you have a bubble of belief/knowledge it doesn't automatically make it scientific fact rather than anecdotally coinciding with some science. For example, yes there is some research sug

I do believe your main point is correct, however your easy check doesn't prove it. Even back when DDG did only use Bing/Yahoo data, you'd likely have seen different results for your name depending on what personalised results

How do you get people into a trial like this without the bias of either "people kind enough to spend time helping research" or "people who need money enough that being a paid test subject is worth their time"? Might not
