Lose a few 100 million today for a monopoly next year. I make the assumption here that these delivery services are intent on dominating the search results so that independent restaurants are not able to compete. They are forced into using

Yep, that seems about right. I have had two forums since 2002, and while they still have a small user base, everybody switched to Facebook and the like. Not sure if I blame Google as much in the case of forums. I have enjoyed seeing notific

Ah, this reminds me of my first computer, the Vic 20. I was fascinated by all this. unfortunately I didn't apply myself and learn what all of this meant at that time.

Google ranks apps higher than restaurants. It would not be all that difficult to roll out a more open source technology that all restaurants could use. Then Google can rank the restaurants more and the apps less. or perhaps a search engine

Just following your argument down that road... What if one day there is only one company in the whole world? if they just slowly envelops all the other companies, and perhaps met your definition of this being legal and fair, would that be f

Yes, indeed. And if Google is monetizing me, I don't equate that to being free. I can't tell you what I'm giving up, because Google does not share with me how much money they are making because of me.

I think to myself how I would probably be just fine if the Google search engine became a public service tomorrow and all advertisements were removed, or perhaps only a small area of the page were allowed to be used to make enough money to p

An advertiser that advertises advertisers and monopolizes Google AdWords. I have the same thing in my industry where there are a couple of "directories" that sell advertising in my industry. They take the top couple of spots on Go

I read little about rent price depreciation, but it seems to me this is already happening. People will move to cheaper housing, and the existing mortgages will be untenable.

Do you think they are using AI as they observe? Is some of this AI passive? Obviously they wouldn't be able to spy on everyone, or else they would need a lot of researchers haha

I embrace that virtually anywhere I post there are going to be some repercussions of doing so. For example, here I will be downvoted if I post something that people don't like.

Okay, so what is the right way to go about this?

I agree with you. Is important that we are thoughtful of others as we also try to provide our point of view. The problem I ran into this evening was that when I provided my point of view there was an immediate political response. And I was

I've been studying Chinese for 6 years. I probably know a thing or two about Chinese government. But obviously you've decided what you believe I know. Good for you.

I communicate regularly with people in mainland China. For me the best policy is just don't say anything that I would be too concerned about being shared. Of course, my behavior is the same for other apps. Beyond government-level type

Most important is what the advertisements at the top show. The organic results are so yesterday. The Google Ads AI should already be teaching you that All you base belong to us.

Normal would include people wearing masks to work, and practicing social distancing, and not eating out to lunch like they did before. Schools are still not all in session. Some are starting to go back. as I understand it they are doing pre

I'm still working diligently on counting the grains of sand on the beach closest to me, and hopefully we can pool all of our work together for a final count. As soon as that's done I'll start trying to name all the stars. Col

There are lots of children still going to school, and there's no simple way for them to obtain books that previously would have been available for free. It is sort of a reading emergency! Now where I live the library system is awesome,
