The trap is that the brain power required to consume the video is very low, due to the pressure to make content which the masses can consume. You can feel wonderful watching the video on time dilation but there is a zero chance a single vie

How do you know what was "stolen" and how it helped them?

As-if all countries are on the brink of launching their own space program, if only they copied a few PDFs from somewhere. Its a US intelligence talking point.

Even if they have something good to say, the end result is that they can ship their spyware more efficiently. I'd rather give an audience to someone who is working on a project that helps humanity.

Sure, but that is what public policy is about. Incentivizing citizens through a democratic process that alleviates resource constraints so we can plan for the future.

Convince enough people that this should be a right, and its automatically a right. Rights are just made-up constructs that only exist in our head.

You must have missed all the people who got banned for talking about the elections or wars in the middle east or public health policy on vaccines, or trans stuff or about a million other topics. The owners of Google don't want you talk

It would be logical for them to fight tooth and nail on this as it puts their business model at risk. Personally, as much as I dislike Google, I'd rather everyone get off their youtube addiction, rather than use adblockers (or other si

It might well be good for business, but I'm cheering that the slow erosion of trust with Google continues and leads to their demise in a decade or so. The cherry on the cake would be if we can get lawmakers with a backbone to put such

>Successful product != well-designed product. Anyone can say that about any product. That doesn't make it true. Windows is a successful product that satisfies a need that people and businesses have. You can't fake dollar bills.

No, it certainly isn't. Creating renders and scene modelling is definitely not real-time. Teams do markups and sketches for brainstorming.

The final image is shaped by a variety of people observing live changes to the scene and giving inputs. You can't iterate as quickly when you're interrupted constantly by the artist having to modify the scene and then render it. I

They don't need to because you can't argue with success. They continue to have the dominant product in the space for several decades.

Your bar is much lower than mine, so we won't agree on this.

Yes, because money == power, and lobbying is legal. If you had progressive taxation that would essentially prevent any entity from acquiring power to rival the state. The inherent weakness of democracies is that they require constant care a

There is no serious comparison to the performance and richness offered by native applications. Famously (and wisely), Apple quickly reversed their decision on web apps for iOS devices.

I think this makes sense for a certain market segment. In the commercial arena, cost of AutoCAD (and similar) is negligible compared to the revenue it generates.

I don't think social or economic ideologies can exist in isolation. I think its a constant push/pull between different versions, interpretations and combinations of them, interacting, evolving, changing all the time. Some of it dr

There is no market incentive for this to be the steady state. All companies only want to pay lip service to competition, but in reality, they do everything in their power to prevent competition and monopolize the market. Product tie-ins, lo

I tried my hardest to love the ipad + pencil workflow for work, but ultimately I crawled back to my windows ultrabook setup. While the taking notes part is great, its all the other workflows that don't seem to fit in (for me). While ta

Not everyone has the same view as you. There are plenty of segments that Apple caters to including captive devices for field techs, education, retail, kiosks etc.
