And then just complain how it’s all a big problem that’s someone else’s fault and can’t be fixed because it’s all so complicated. Right. Sounds like typical government busybody work.

You just decide how much money you want to earn and provide capacity for that. Demand is infinite so you will sell whatever you produce.

You have a product and bots are willing to buy an infinite amount of it? Tell me again how this is an unsolvable problem.

That’s just not true, because it implies a lot of slots go unused and those would then be paid for by the resellers. The solution is to create more slots to meet demand until the resellers can’t pay those costs anymore. However you do have

An arbitrarily restricted resource leads to a failure of the market. The solution is to have enough slots. How hard can it be, everybody gets an education and exams, why is this suddenly difficult if it involves pricy driving tests?

Well that makes it pretty clear why this site has pretty much evolved into another worthless echo chamber with people fistbumping around the popular opinion. Because that’s how you earn internet points. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.

Because some people think the downvote arrow is the disagree button. However, discussing voting behavior is typically boring and unwanted on the site.

Read the privacy policy, they explicitly state they store it. Obviously, because in many cases they need to know who watched that. For instance for their licenses they need to be allowed to show you copyrighted content. You can ‘pause histo

And if you believe Google is not storing that information anyway I’ve got a beautiful bridge for sale. If you don’t use an account you can create a fresh container every once in a while and start the game anew and you can choose to not asso

A problem with paying is that you have to be logged on so you can’t avoid being tracked and having every video you ever watch linked to you for all eternity.

So it’s not a textbook case after all?

by tinus_hn 3y ago
Really good lawyers still can’t defend textbook cases. But you mean to say that for all those indie developers who got their life’s work destroyed it was about the money anyway? Why would you settle otherwise?

If there are enough houses it’s a reasonably normal market. Otherwise there is always more demand than supply anyway and people will pay up to what they can afford, and if interest is higher they can afford less.

It’s a textbook case, yet the hundreds of times we’ve heard this story before the lawsuit went nowhere. Perhaps reality isn’t as cut and dried as this article makes it look.

Is it really fair to characterize replacing a 30 year old app as churn?

There’s things like encryption keys and tokens that need to be unique so it’s not easy, if you do it like that you would run into new, difficult to predict vulnerabilities. So it’s difficult and dangerous for not a lot of gain. Perhaps an e

The general idea behind capitalism is that the market provides alternatives. Why would there only be evil giant corporations whose applications are so bad that they would be trumped by those great ancient, obsolete applications? There is al

by tinus_hn 3y ago
No, the absence of a bad thing creates room for a good thing. Because an old, out of date application is not available, there is a viable market for a new, up-to-date application that serves the same purpose.

And sometimes users do not get what they prefer and they have to make do with what they get. In the Microsoft world and in the Apple world. Tough luck. It’s not worth living in the past because some hypothetical users want to cling to it. I

In a world with only one developer, yes. In the real world, where other developers can create new apps that do the same thing better, more secure, easier or in a more modern way, no.
