I'd like to see the amount that all healthcare workers were paid during this period, for comparison. If it's 400 billion, it seems like 4 billion wouldn't be out of line.

If I can find a question that matches mine exactly, sure. Otherwise due to the imprecision of searching on google, I'm often left to filter through results, and then in each result that seems relevant filtering through each answer that

The opening Google trends graph doesn't match the preceding claim about a material decline in usage at all... it says a lot more about the extraordinary rise of chatgpt (especially since most people aren't using chatgpt for progra

This is going to be one of those areas where many (but not all) HN + reddit users will need to check their bubble at the door. Both Microsoft and Google are widely trusted brands whether you slice it by consumers, developers, etc.

With so much pent up demand there must be new properties getting built all over these holiday spots, no?

So as long as that's all the engagement there is, we're free to ignore it and carry on, correct?

The black pill on WFH is that a lot of people are actually that unreliable and "forcing" them to work in an office makes them more reliable.

1, 2, and 4 are basically speculation at this point, no?

I'm not sure this is absurdity. The point is that no company could possibly have an abusable monopoly on entertainment because A) the sheer variety of things there are to do for entertainment, B) the incredibly low barriers to entry in

The death of RSS preceded the death of Google Reader, no? (Although it may have hastened the last act of it's death.) Not sure I understand the comparison to IE.

Even if this happens it won't make any difference to how these instances operate, will it? It'll just reduce traffic to them, right?

This reaction has shades of nimbyism: Yes we care about climate change + housing affordability + are in favor of increasing immigration. No we can't have those evil developers building big apartment buildings in my neighborhood! How da

This forum is pretty good at avoiding political battles . There's plenty of political discourse, however, and it can definitely get pretty heated at times (but not nearly as bad as twitter).

That's literally one game. That's it. Lack of consumer choice when it comes to a single title shouldn't be something that the FTC is getting involved in. Even when you expand that to all the titles that activision/blizza

That's just it though -- video games are not "monopolized" in any meaningful sense. A particular IP may be "monopolized" -- e.g. owned by a particular company that has more or less of an interest in producing cross

How would players be harmed by an IP changing hands and being made exclusive on a particular platform?

by dnissley 3y ago
Money in itself is not an argument for FTC involvement. E.g. the wedding industry is also enormous, within an order of magnitude of the video game industry in the US.

Both of these industries are entertainment though -- and to me at least it seems there's a pretty limited amount of consumer harm that could come from various IP exclusivity deals. Again -- am I thinking about this wrong? What is the c

by dnissley 3y ago
I find the whole thing to be a tempest in a teapot -- why is the FTC involved in this at all? For christ's sake it's a video game! If we were discussing access to some critical resource I would understand, but how is this not a cr

Sure, but a minor contributing factor -- not a major one. And therefore a distraction from the root cause.
