The point I was trying to make is Dish has spectrum, MVNOs do not. Dish has artificially increased the cost of spectrum by holding on to it and not building their own network, and in the process also increased the cost of building a network

Android uses SELinux by default to sandbox apps since v5[1], Linux/BSD have several forms of sandboxing[2], and the most common is probably AppArmor offered by Ubuntu and other distros. A few support SELinux as well. [1] https:/&

It's funny that US Cellular is listed here, and Dish/Boost isn't. Neither is Sprint, but it's LTE network is still relatively separate and something most T-Mobile customers can't access yet. Pretty useless map. Mayb

Completely agree here. If you think the acquisitions have been the problem, splitting up those parts makes sense, primarily for Facebook, and possibly certain Amazon/Google/Apple acquisitions too. I think a separate Instagram, Waz

Most caches are going to have logic for tagging, eviction and invalidation for multiple other purposes, so this makes sense to do. There's some more accounting each core and L2 cache might have to do, but if the interconnect is up to t

I think it's hilarious that for as long as iOS has existed, there have been people pointing out it's pitfalls in nuanced ways, and almost nobody listened. Now that everything they've said has pretty much come to pass about us

Ebay and Amazon take ~10%, you can also sell on your own website through advertising. No options exist for mobile app devs other than the two app stores on two platforms, except for Samsung and Amazon device owners which offer their own sto

30% isn't unfair if you provide enough services, it's the lack of competition stemming from iOS being closed that's the problem. Google _had_ to do what Apple did with 15% for small developers. Google didn't do it on the

I think devices, OSes, apps and services are all retail products. The extent to which Apple sells a locked down device is the the extent to which it's trying to unfairly control multiple secondary markets. It's irrelevant how easy

You'll notice I compared with Microsoft, another maker of an OS. I don't think analogies work that well when comparing something that is Turing complete vs. not. Fitness apps compete with gyms, movie apps compete with theaters, le

I do think Steam can charge more because it offers more good services for users than any other app/game store: search/discovery features that have gotten better over time, per game communities/mods, tons of social features in

Steam is doing this 30%-20%, and it seems to be working fine of them.. so far. I generally think volume discounts come a bit too close to price fixing, if proven in court. Granted, it's tough to prove, as we've seen in Intel vs. A

Essential did the same thing with the PH-1. I think Google has been trying, and with their own SoC, maybe they will finally be able to accomplish this goal.

I did wrongly assume the brief you mention (Shah vs VHS San Antonio) was submitted in the Epic case but it wasn't. I did skim it and found it relevant on the subject of tying. All I can say is it's a bit confusing, linking to said
