Here in the UK, BT does the same thing and nobody seems to complain. If you're a BT customer you can use your own data through somebody else's router. Maybe actually giving something in return is the answer for Amazon?

The economics of it are not good. An ad-supported YouTube competitor won't be able to survive if early adopter ("techie" types) are all using adblockers.

The alternative is search engines and bots hammering on the doors of Wikipedia and costing huge infrastructure dollars. Their Enterprise API AFAICT is a value-add, and does not prevent scraping.

Xoogler. This is almost impossible by design. As mentioned before, every field on a protobuf is tagged for sensitivity, meaning right down to the bare disks there is privacy controls on data. Engineers under orders to decrypt & copy dat

Amazon can't be a victim. It's an entity made of people. Although the end result is horrifying, I can totally see how certain incentives (including being several steps removed from warehouse workers) can turn otherwise decent peop

Because more than likely, there is no competent legislators on the ballet. The only solution is "voters" need to take a more direct role in politics if they care.

Can you elaborate more? I don't believe the search engine produced did not let physicians access anything they weren't supposed to. This is well stated in their public documentation.

Depends on where you live. At least in the UK, ISPs can kick and scream but generally won't terminate you.

Forced diversity is one of the big issues with modern media. Instead of making an actually diverse character, yano, with human thoughts and feelings, they just tick some skin and gender boxes and leave it at that. It's just another for

Big budget content is usually the worst. There were many pieces of indie media that had heart and shoestring budgets, that have been pushed out the market.

Why is it hard to police a land border? Cameras and weapons are effective deterrents.

Wouldn't banning a massive centralised network lead to more people talking over smaller networks?

Conspiracy theories sometimes turn out to just be conspiracies. That's why we need to be able to talk about them. I'm not qualified to say if the lab leak has any credence, but it wouldn't be the first time the powers at be h

Yes to all of those, for me at least. I'm not denying there are some upsides to city living (easy access to office being the big one) but I wouldn't move back to one without at least double the salary.

An underlying issues nobody is talking about is real estate prices need to crash then. The quality of life outside a city is just so unbelievably better that I'm not going back to live in a box for hundreds of dollars a month, on a fil

> Obviously, that didn't really happen since prices are through the roof for cars, houses, gpu, gaming consoles etc. Which can be indicative of supply crunch, rather than high demand.

It's the ancient Microsoft Word vs. Google Docs debate. Without long tail features Uber would be less valuable to each customer.

With moral grandstanding? Yes. Especially when OP made it clear they were not going to actually obtain and run the software. After all, they could've added a non-Steam patch being OSS.

I think this is a really great point. PWAs are not a threat to native apps - they are a great in-between that adapts to different use cases. Installation, push notifications, etc... are all optional and can be mixed and matched based on wha
