Are you aware that self-driving cars don’t work yet, and mars hasn’t been colonized? HTTP and Email are extremely narrow, have had vast amounts of work put into them over time, and are still deeply flawed. They have also developed at a gla

This is quite obviously wrong. Law doesn’t work like this. Competitors and api consumers would be able to argue that any change they didn’t like was anticompetitive and request injunctive relief. It would be up to the courts to decide ea

Because the requirements of the APIs will be established by law and subject to litigation by competitors and api consumers. That’s what forced means.

Because of the forced part. Normally API owners get to make their own choices about what to change and when. That goes away if they are forced .

If you think software interoperability is like railway gauges, then you simply don’t understand software.

Once they are forced to become interoperable, they can’t change independently. Do you not see the problem?

Easily switching between two different software systems is a non trivial engineering problem that deeply constrains design. This is terrible for consumers if it means software can’t be improved.

You mean they haven’t actually done anything to undermine election results?

Nobody has ‘thrown out’ the voting rights act. That’s an opinion. Part of it has not been upheld as constitutional. The decision on gerrymandering is real. But you seem to be thinking this is evidence of a conspiracy to end democracy rath

I don’t think so. As a PoC, their comment is by definition a reflection of the reality of a targeted group.

No, they aren't better. I don't disagree with you about their decline. My take is just that the shine came off Amazon 5 years ago and it has now essentially stabilized as a 'just good enough' store with great logistics.

Very helpful. So it's reasonable to concede that in Europe, and only in Europe, the origin of copyright was in censorship and the protection of profits for publishers. However, the US is an entirely different story. Turning the page
