The basic strategy hasn’t changed in 2 years? Per the article it sounds like it’s changed at least five times since 2012. Perhaps the most recent change was in 2017?

Surprised no one mentioned the documented reason: the VirnetX parent lawsuits, which were also why Apple had to stop using P2P in FaceTime. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/04/after-200m-patent-se...

While I am inclined to agree with them and I'm amused that they didn't cite Elon's family's emerald mine[1], I think the article and headline overstate the case - there certainly are examples that are closer to the sel

Isn't that exactly what ethereum eventually demonstrated via the DAO fork? The core developer team effectively wields this power, but people still seem to be using their currency.

Correct, they aren't the same, but usually only larger airplanes (747-400, A380 etc.) have a first class and only for very long haul (> 12 hour?) flights. See e.g. https://onemileatatime.com/emirates-a380-first-class

Those numbers have changed since you left. And they could change again. It's all dynamic: these comparisons and the economically and strategically "correct" choices change over time depending on talent availability, demand, s

They're certainly capable of it but I believe they would talk about and differentiate it more explicitly if they had any Aurora-like special sauce.

I have had three iMacs: 24” I purchased in 2007 which died due to a failed/faulty power strip, a used 27” I bought in 2014, and a refurb 27” 5k I bought in 2017. I value aesthetics more than you do, and I’m entirely comfortable with th

Yep, I agree with all of these points. Casper and Capsule also come to mind (both headquartered in New York, probably get lumped into these kind of lists, and probably aren't really tech companies). But there are other ones that &quo

Now you’re being hyperbolic, although I can’t tell if it’s intentional. It’s not zero. It’s true that none of the FAANG are headquartered in NY (although Google’s second biggest engineering office is here). Replied above with a much longer

"Lowering the bar" and "lowering barriers" are two very different things that you are conflating.

They have an undeletion button (and they send you a notice about bulk deletions). They also retain and let you recover accidentally deleted files for 30 days. Without more detail it's hard to find these claims credible.

This happens already. A few podcasts I support via Patreon have ad-free feeds that they supply to patrons as unique URLs for the RSS feeds. Presumably they can cut you off if they find that you then rebroadcast or share those URLs broadly.
