Email is a different beast though, as it is set up to replicate snail mail. You need to be able to receive mail from anyone at any time. For private, personal use at least, you don’t need this for a service that competes with discord. I’m n

There are always options besides selling the whole company to a giant competitor, the difference is just that you won’t get as high of a return if there are fewer bidders in the marketplace. A company like figma could have always just gone

That appears to be the plan/long term sustainable grid scale storage of some sort. There’s also the potential for demand smoothing.

Realistically, most things that are tech/tech adjacent are a dumpster fire. The number of uninformed comments on inflation/monetary policy on here is exhausting.

Projection is when you accuse someone of doing something that they haven’t actually done. What you mean is that they’re being hypocritical.

Yes, except that is not a market outcome, that is government intervention into the market. That is substantively different from a government granted monopoly, wherein it is illegal to create a competing business. The point is that monopol

Antitrust is government intervention into the market. Not enforcing antitrust is not granting a monopoly. Don’t get me wrong, antitrust is good! Government intervention is necessary. But lasseiz-fares does not mean what you appear to thi

Your analysis is seemingly based in the notion that all viewpoints are equal valid, but an analysis of the war needs to be rooted in what’s right and what’s wrong. Russia is fighting a war of aggression in Ukraine. Do they have interests th

Did the government grant Google a monopoly? This is a market outcome. Perfect competition is not the natural state of the market, even though free marketers prefer to hand wave it into existence.

I’ll have to watch the video later to see how good their argument is… but I don’t but it. “The market” has seemingly deemed low value SEO spam to be what’s valuable. If Wikipedia didn’t exist, I imagine the alternative would more likely be

You set this up as an either/or as though we had no system of crop development in place before patents. Though this may accelerate development, the real question is whether the cost is worth it.

I hear what you’re saying, but the thing is that, while I agree with you on the efficiency point, more room for bikes still means less room for cars in sum. The fact that more bikes on the road means more room for the cars that remain, does

I half agree, though I’ve seen plenty of people on Facebook/YouTube/shopping sites at every office I’ve worked in while on the clock, not to mention just goofing off with coworkers talking about whatever subject. When I’m at home
