Why isn’t some abulance chaser on it already? Seriously, proving loss due to something like this should be not too difficult. There is money to be made here - with the ancillary end result being Apple loses, what little position it has, i

Damn. This nails it. Ever since my first exposure to computing and “programming”, I always deeply felt it was a great equalizer and meritocracy filter. A field where instead of your skin, the only color that mattered was of the grey in yo

There is more than one question I am asking - (1). Is there any scientifically sound study proving that the quality of protein from plant sources is equivalent to or better than from dairy products? (2). Is there any reproducible, quantitat

THIS. So much This. If you don’t like the Chinese playbook, don’t play in China. Your company does not have a right to the Chinese market on your terms - only on their terms. If you disagree, I’ve got a generic HCV drug market you (an

Worst seller experience ever. FTFY. You are not the customer, just a seller. You don’t matter. The “Amazon smile” is for customers only.

Netflix would ship their own browser ... They already do, it browses only Netflix, and they call it an app - at least on all non-general purpose computational devices e.g. smartphones, smart tvs etc.

The biggest assumption here is the belief that taking from the rich and giving to the politicians+bureaucrats, i.e. the government, is actually going to help the needy in any meaningful way. I am too skeptical to trust this assumption. And
