I guess so, but thats the problem with language that isnt specific enough. What I feel people are discussing and what I was referring too was more properly called an illegal monopoly… technically having market domination is also a monopoly,

As I remember it, it was the break out moment for NN that made them mainstream to the masses. Prior to that they were an academic / hacker oddity relegated to works of fictions and just one of the many competing theories towards functi

Obligatory [1] My apologies for not being able to find the original tale. I’m sure the original website is around but this is a decent synopsis regardless. Doesn’t look like they cover it in the article but if I remember correctly they prun

Regardless of the moral and ethical implications brought up in response to the individual in TFA, you’re spot on. One of my favorite reasons for creating is that it’s me against myself vs reality. Theres not an endeavor I find myself in tha

Exactly! It’s like asking why we still use wheels when hovercrafts exist. If humans are still around in a thousand years they’ll be using jpegs and they’ll still be using them a thousand years after that. When things work they have pernicio
