Of course compared to retail its a great deal but that's because of the huge number of middlemen involved in shipping a game/software back then. It's not like retailer margins were that great. The 30% is mostly arbitrary thou

That's not exactly how markets generally work ("free market" is more of a theoretical concept than something that has ever existed outside of commodity markets at least). In a way it can be justified in the sense that develop

Yes, but if it's actually competitive that won't last that long. Mistral will do the same as google (cut their free tier by 50x or so) if they ever catch up. Financially anything else would make no sense. Of course currently Mistr

Didn't Nextstep support x86 long before MacOS X was a thing? I assumed that they always had it compilable on x86 long before the switch (since Rhapsody supported it). I guess the user space stuff might have been trickier but probably n

I find it hard to imagine what the overlap between this and e.g. ebikes from Trek, though. Besides the price of course... It's an entirely different product.

I really don't get what the point of the pedals on a thing like this, though. I guess mainly to satisfy some sort of regulations which separate bikes and motorcycle like vehicles? Considering that they aren't even connected to the

Asking what? Why would the DMCA apply to an app store hosting torrent download apps? And that's not even the case there. Its like claiming Microsoft is somehow responsible for someone downloading a torrent app. Silly...

My only point was that mobile chips are pretty much a commodity these days and not a particularly lucrative market if you want to maximize margins and growth. The fact that there are way more ARM chips sold in a year than x86 servers doesen

Don't most sovereign wealth funds invest mainly (or entirely like in Norway's case) into foreign assets. Holding significant stakes in domestic companies just seems like light state capitalism.
