Well, if I am within the you tube app, I am searching youtube first and I want the youtube results to be at least presented first. If I want to search all the services, I can search from the roku homescreen.

Why are you pretty sure about that? From what I have read about it, it seems the argument is very much for search results within the youtube app.

Googles demand is very reasonable and it is exactly what I (and most other customers, I am sure) expect of the behavior of the software. When I am within an app and do a search I expect the search to be either limited to that app (preferabl

Oil is not naturally occurring on the surface of the earth. It can only be formed underground, it is extremely poisonous, it kills almost every living organism. You can say that deep underground oil is natural, but on the surface of the ear

Auto chips are usually a higher grade than consumer. They have to be able to handle wide ranges of temperature and moisture and also handle vibration. There is usually an extensive testing process until a chip gets qualified for auto produc

What the author meant here is software is coming for mechanical hardware, like gears and motors. I.e., with more advanced software you will be able to use cheaper gears and motors. As far as electronic hardware, forget about it. You will ne

What you are missing is that corporate ownership makes it much easier to raise rent. It is very hard for 100 000 individual small time landlords to collectively raise rent in normal conditions (i.e., with no housing shortage). Many will low

Markets are a machine for predicting the future not the present. The supply chain chaos is something that can be fixed and probably will be fixed at some time in the near future. Capitalism view is that if there is demand and it is possible

"Natural immunity is better" is a very misleading and dangerous statement. Many people take it to mean that their natural immunity is better even if they have never had a covid infection before. Many people, including young and re

I don't think cree manufactures any chips period. They make wafers, which other companies use to make chips. They make their wafers in the US, in north carolina. They are building another large factory in upstate new york.

What I meant is he was wrestling with the inverter physically, not intellectually. I.e. the inverter (after they assembled the whole thing) was very large and heavy compared to the one presented by the on ceo. I guess I should have referred

Good article, but very Japanese centered. This of course is understandable, as it is coming from Nikkei. There has been a lot of news about how the US is giving up leadership in semiconductors to Asia, but the US has actually been holding o

There is one important factor that nobody in the popular press is mentioning. Few analysts in the financial industry are starting to point it out. And that is that semiconductor manufacturing has been chronically and almost criminally under

The lead-crime hypothesis is almost certainly true but the mass media reaction to it just shows how much is wrong with our society. First of all, the lead-crime hypothesis is good news. It is great to realize that small entirely achievable

It should be noted that this Hunter S Thompson quote refers to Oscar Zeta Acosta. Acosta made a big difference fighting for the rights of poor and marginalized mexican-americans in east LA. He did something more with his life than just take

"Addiction is hardly a problem for psychedelics, as most users don't use them regularly." Yeah, but if you agree with the concept of microdosing you will be using them regularly. That is exactly what microdosing is about.

Anything is better than microdosing. In general not microdosing or taking any drugs at all is better than microdosing. Microdosing is a lie perpetrated by drug dealers to sell drugs to sectors of the population that would be otherwise too c

Unfortunately it is not even a subculture. It is often openly touted in mainstream culture. Steve Jobs is often brought up as a hero of that type of thinking. You are absolutely right that trust and reliability are very valuable. Societies

Well lets be honest, while we are subject to the forces of nature, this particular time we mostly became a victim of the forces of the Texas devil may care mentality.
