Alibaba and Tencent would be great candidates. There is no chance China will do anything though, as these companies are their best chance to compete on a global stage. The EU could make a case against them that actually has legs, rather tha

To play Devil's advocate, how many of those would exist if they had been separate. How much innovation is restricted by splitting entities. Android was motivated to compete with Apple. The Play Store and Chrome Web Store required platf

Eggs would be much harder, simply due to numbers. One extraction generally results in around 12 viable eggs. Even if she went through that process multiple times (not sure what repetition limits are), only 1-3 of them really have a chance t

Alexa is mostly good with timers/alarms, but occasionally will swap 15/50 or 8/80. If you miss hearing the distinction in the confirmation, you'll miss the scheduled event Edit: They also have distinct classification of

Will it? AWS is the mort reliable service, and even it has outages. Then there are the thousands of other internal service dependencies. Any third party IoT device relies on those and then their own awful software stack and silly putty + pa

These insights are a snapshot, not a trend line. Java can be in rapid decline and still be at the top of the list. Changing acceleration, not position, is how you make a comeback. Java is currently losing Android devs to Kotlin. That could

Trees outside were moving in the wind. Wasn't clear to me when the effect stopped... This is crazy. Feels like it was revealed that my brain is no different than the AIs creating trippy art that Google made a while back. They just had

Changing the UI would raise so much uproar. Millions of workflows would have to change. In addition, it just does so much that changing it would be a very costly task likely to break a lot of things and end up removing features that some ti

Plants don't use most of the sunlight that hits them, and too much will cause heat stress making them less efficient. The right tarp or net that lets through the most useful wavelengths seems to help more than hurt. A lot of places are

There are plenty of clones. MegaBlocks has been the most visible for a long time. I believe Lego owns the exact dimensions and ratios of their bricks. I recently got into NanoBlocks, which are about 1/4 the scale and different dimensio

Tonal here is very different. The tone in Chinese is a completely different word. Multiple words have the same tone and thus pronunciation with different meaning (and character). Tone usage on one word would not change the interpretation. T
