It's not technically a monopoly, but in so far as it might become one, it is someone else's responsibility to tweet and complain about it. And there is a difference in scale between Apple's control and everyone else's.

You could try searching for "air quality sensor" on aliexpress. I have experience with this one [0] which purports to measure particles in various units, and I suspect it to be 20-30% inaccurate. The figure it gives for humidity i

Since they did not have water toilets, it would not be viscous like sewage. It would have consistency similar to a barnyard manure pile. To fill a floor to a depth enough to "drown" would require several years of collecting, which

90% failure rate assumes you're starting with at least a product or even willingly paying customers. If all you have is vague ambition and no openings/unique angles, 90% is too optimistic.

It's sometimes given attention. The usual defence is "yes but girls are better and they deserve some help given they have been historically held back".

The extent to which immutability leads to duplication seems a matter of implementation rather than a principle. The compiler/runtime could optimize such that memory is reused, as long as all other laws are obeyed.

Self-play probably refers to different agents playing each other, but that has also been done since forever. It just didn't seem that interesting when the models were small with games like 4x4 tac-tic-toe.

To be fair, it looks like a long term decline, with a larger drop between 2018 and 2019. Could be that milk is less and less preferred by consumers. The milk might still be used for cream, cheese, yoghurt, ice cream, protein powder, and so

> It's mainly a supply issue. So there is less milk and bread being sold now than a year ago? Because if it's the same amount of milk and bread for a higher price, then the it's mainly a shift in demand.

To be fair, the ancient Greece did decline and "fall". Probably, this what the Romans said towards the end of their run as well.

"Surplus power" is not accurate. It's more accurate to say that the transfer cables are mostly at full load because the European demand is so large. In effect, this means European prices in Scandinavia.

This is true. Another one: burying waste paper (and cutting down new trees) instead of recycling reduces both CO² and probably energy use too. I think the argument against this is that these are not mutually exclusive alternatives. Reducing
