That's always been the case; it's merely a proxy for likely sales. It used to be that audience was demonstrated by previous sales; now it can be proved by being a celebrity, twitch/twitter/instagram/whatever follow

It's also wild that it somehow makes financial sense to outsource a core input into your product. A company that makes animations outsourcing animation makes as much sense to me as a software company outsourcing engineering. Though w

It is not. It is limited to the context of Large Online Platforms, as defined (iirc) in the DSA. I believe the edpb will later publish guidelines on consent or pay for other companies, which will impact many news agencies.

I think this only bans consent or pay. Nothing in the edpb opinion prevents just charging (we can call it pay or pay).

> The reason so many companies turn to ads is because they are exceptionally risk adverse in this economy. It's really not, and the proof is it's been happening for 20 years, in boom and in recession. Read the kagi thread, eve

Also, the reason so many companies turn to ads isn't because they like ads, or don't know about all the problems that stem from having your customers not be your users. It's because users still prefer to pay with anything bu

Thank you! This is the first answer that isn't incoherent blathering about patents bad. Per wikipedia, it seems those continuation patents all expire in 2026 at the latest.

Thanks for the link. Does any of this block competitors from selling a 2004-equivalent table saw with brake unencumbered by patents? I don't believe it can.

by x0x0 3y ago
Right in the article, it says most patents are now expired and for the final key patent that expires in 2033, the owner -- SawStop's corp parent -- has offered to donate it to the public if this rule passes. edit: if you believe differ

This is a précis of how software gets so bad -- people refuse to pay for the value it delivers to them, so the software vendors naturally look for other ways to make money. And the advertising starts. If you don't want enshittificatio

1 - not short-termism 2 - comparing a minor economic investment ($8B on a $23T gdp) to slavery, and the economic system built on slavery, is the stupidest thing I've read this week, so, well, congrats. I guess? 3 - not a naive economi

You're not wrong, but having an incredibly important dependence on an industry 100 miles off the coast of China (and the target of their increasingly erratic dictator) is worth paying billions to break.

Apple has it in a handful of places. With Google, it's endemic to their products.

Their competitors are shockingly incompetent. Consider Google. A couple years ago, a reporter documented the nearly (iirc) 20 attempts Google has made at a messenger. Meanwhile, Apple made one and ground away at it until it became great.

YC manages 1000x the volume and manages to respond. It's a lack of professionalism or a lack of competence, pick your poison.

I think quite well. I've been using kagi for a couple months and I'm super happy with it, esp for programming-adjacent searches. You should give it a try! (not an investor, just a happy user).

Yeah, the status site lies. There's instability in the UI almost every 2nd or 3rd day where it just won't load and they almost never mention it. It still saves me tons of time, esp as a non-js developer who now has to write js so

What AI thing (I can't think of a single one) does Apple excel at? Waymo and Baidu can credibly claim they have the people and track record to do this thing. Apple isn't anywhere close.

A self-driving car is not something that Apple has any relevant expertise at building. They can't even make siri work well. They had zero hope to make a self-driving car.

For things that are well covered on stack overflow, it's a strictly better search engine. eg say you don't remember the syntax for a rails migration, or a regex, or something you're coding in bash, or processpool arguments in

There's lots of areas for improvement. eg you could create permanent messages re: your level of competence w/ programming. Say I ask for regex help. It will often start by explaining what ruby is or how to use gsub. Whereas I&
