Monopolies tend to have that. I mean let's face it, the antitrust "punishment" the U.S. and EU governments issued against Microsoft were not really that damaging by themselves. It was mainly Microsoft's fear of getting m

Can you really say the "market price is X" when there's only been one company making it? Either way, I think there are some hidden forces here that keep these prices so high. Like if the FDA would open the market to competi

I agree Tesla could do much better on range by now, just as they've shown with the semi. They don't because they want to be profitable sooner and also because not many competitors have caught up yet. There's no reason why the

All existing AI (and I mean all , even AlphaGo Zero, etc) is overhyped . With all of these systems the devil is always in the details and it's never as good as presented in a blog post or video. Often, even its creators don't re
