If it was really that good there'd be plenty of great open source implementations and tools by now, but in reality nobody wants to use it. Note that protobuf didn't have this issue.

Well, I didn't mention the Russians. The Chinese, the Cubans, the North Koreans all do micromanagement of their citizens lives as well. North Korea has a law that regulates what hair styles citizens may have. This way of thinking isn&#

How else do you interpret insta-flagging any research papers that discuss vaccine injuries, other than people who got it not wanting to talk about it?

CMO liked to say that up until UK data started showing the vaccinated getting sick (and therefore spreading it) more often than the unvaccinated. That data got worse with time until the vaccinated had a >3x case rate. 2022 meanwhile had

That paragraph is a logical fallacy. To compute a cost/benefit analysis for something you have to include all the costs, not just one. There are many papers like that one covering many different side effects. Note that there was an att

The Commission staff who signed these contracts are clearly idiots. Why do you assume they aren't paying 10x what the natural market rate would have been? Pfizer realized the EU would sign literally anything to be able to say it was go

I haven't claimed anywhere that all the EU does is regulating USB-C, why do you think that? I gave several other examples of micromanagement. > You are also free to believe that EU officials do things that no one cares or wants and

Yes, but they struggle with consumer software too (car software being consumer software, but also finance stuff is often terrible even when targeted as the mass market).

Yes ... exactly ... they reintroduced a non-standard connector because people preferred it to the standard one. See the problem?

In democracies opinion polls are regarded as important because people's opinions matter. The EU doesn't care about them because the EU is not a democracy. Even if you pretend the distance between voters and decision makers doesn&#

It's not just the auto industry. A lot of industries struggle with managing software projects. If you think about it, it's the reason we have such a vaguely named thing as the "tech industry" to begin with. Tech firms ar

In other words the regulatory bodies decide. They might, if they feel like it, ask some people who actually know something in the process of making that decision, but that doesn't mean they'll listen or care. Why are you denying t

You're talking about the company that just re-introduced MagSafe, its widely praised proprietary power connector, and claiming the times of one company doing their own proprietary thing are close to gone? Apple is cleaning up in the

They're using that word not because they disagree, but because it's an accurate description of what the EU is becoming. Communist states centrally plan the economy. Everything is specified by government committees down to tiny det

Apple will certainly jump at the chance to spend money and time subsidizing its competitors research costs, in return for absolutely no competitive advantage. That's definitely what motivates people in the real world. Reality check: th

You might call it a five year plan. Funny how those crop up so often!

Of course it's the regulatory bodies deciding. What do you think they're doing right now, what this article is about? There is no mechanism for "industry agreeing" that the rule should be discarded.

Yes but only very recently. Many funds are still sitting on huge sums that were raised in the past years.

No it isn't. Most people learn about the scientific method in school, where the rules are taught. Then later they discover that climatologists routinely hide original data, present edited data as if it were measurements, drop inconveni

Don't get me wrong. Self driving taxis are cool. I'd like to use Waymo if it were launched where I live, at that price. But that's a very large set of very large assumptions, stacked on top of each other! I can immediately th

Did that person read the paper? They did cohort matching to eliminate those differences. See table 1 which shows the characteristics of the set used for analysis (age is equal, gender ratio is equal, etc).

That hypothesis looks like very motivated reasoning tbh. Problems: 1. The risk is all concentrated in the first weeks after vaccination and consistently so over time. That's what you'd expect from a biological cause, not a change

Counterpoint: Concord, Google Glass, etc. Just because something can be achieved technologically, doesn't mean there is demand for it at the price you'd need to charge for it to make sense.

There's a lot of low-code platforms that do that.

Maybe more interesting is how Chrome's market share has flatlined at 60-ish percent. It hasn't gone up for years. I wonder to what extent Google will want to keep investing so much in it, if it's not growing.
