> I think Mozilla should just run an ad auction to choose the search engine This is not exactly what’s happening? Google is just willing to pay more.

IMHO that’s mainly because the modern open/public internet kind of sucks. The ratio of content to garbage is extremely bad

Well search engines were actually useful back in those days and there was room for competition.

> ratios dont account for inflation For future inflation. It was relatively low between 2010 and 2020 and has been reducing at a fairly fast pace recently. It’s not obvious it won’t go back to the baseline.

As you said AMD wasn’t even in a position to do anything about mobile. Intel on the other hand had the best high-end ARM chips in the early 2000s. XScale would have been the default choice for the iPhone and all the other smartphones. Had t

They should have (IMHO Intel was even better positioned than AMD to do that since they generally are much better at software). Considering the obscene margins Nvidia has Intel could still make a very decent profit by selling 1/2 as fa

I’m not sure destroying the only significant potential advantage Intel had/(might still have) over its competitors would have been the smartest thing even in hindsight.

by ffgjgf1 2y ago
But this implies that even the guests who never went to that restaurant and have no links whatsoever to it might somehow still be directly suffering because of its presence. In reality this doesn’t seem to be the case at all.

How could the couple of minutes they saved by not testing their changes somehow made any difference?

Aren’t they just saying that they effectively they ended up paying what they owed earlier than they would have otherwise. That Doesn’t sound like “getting over on the IRS”
