Should have made open-source components in some key nodes of the ecosystem popular and profitable. But that was a tall order.

It's sort of antitrust adjacent. They are big enough to set market rules on the manner of distribution, like DRM and hardware-software lock-in, which doesn't directly stifle competition in their field (only a little) but in anothe

You might get it when bots write pages.

You just need to capture the rendering and represent that.

That's just an information bottleneck. It doesn't fundamentally change anything.

That's not the problem. It's the bootloader locked hardware and the TPM anti-"tampering" security verification that more and more apps require. It's not just the OS makers. They're also responding to the demand

Then make the false positives lower. The problem is they aren't incentivized to improve such features because, where's the money in that?

That was never the real reason. Security and "think of the children" to take away rights are the two oldest plays in the playbook.

Time to support open source mobile OS's then.

I highly doubt the finance bros pretend distributions are normal or don't know Chebychev, vs. not having enough data to obtain the covariance structure (for rare events) to properly bound even with Chebychev.

Why can't they be restricted to produce only the concepts of a grade below you? It sounds doable and is actually a great idea.

Maybe you really needed the dome light. Same as in this case.

Surprisingly, 80's and 90's developers were quite skilled low-level developers who knew very well all the ways things could go wrong. The difference was the stakes were not high then. The blast radius was maybe a hundred thousand

Yes, parent is arguing like, what if medical licensing protects the juggernaut hospitals at the expense of the street corner quack?

That's always the double-edged sword with regulation, but sooner or later people will demand it, or much more of it.

That's why that person was non-technical. Maybe software engineering will finally require licensing like for real engineers when AI is unleashed on the world with serious consequences.

You don't know what you don't know. How was a non-technical glorified PM supposed to know to ask for these things in the first place? Such technical practices developed over time in the history of software engineering, as problems

What is "balance"?

Who are the marginal traders who determine prices though? Long-term holders don't trade. By the time they assert their view it's too late.

So, a more charismatic version of Zuck is Zucking, what a surprise. Company culture starts at its origin. Despite Google's corruption, its origin is in academia and it shows even now.

You need slack in the system for this to happen. If everyone needs to work then the village is empty.

It's Malthusian scarcity, expressed through market-clearing prices. It's like some alpha baboon hordes all the food so nobody else is going to reproduce.

No, because some people still care and clean up enough after the slackers. The slackers also realize this and slack just enough for nothing major to happen often.

In the days of freeware (pre-App Store "free"), you could pretty well tell the quality of the software by the quality of its icon.

But they wouldn't get tossed around, that's the whole point? (Unless they are close to the pool boundary.)

It's Zuck what do you expect?

"Because I say so" is a weak ass argument, no argument at all. "Because I bought it" is passive aggressive, because you do not intend to allow even if you did not buy it.
