Interesting - very good to know about the Tezos scene. As for fxhash, I don’t see that being much more than a ‘because we can’. Nothing on there strikes me as worth money, since there is an infinite supply of art like that and there is no

Perhaps you aren’t aware that the meaning of legal terms is decided by courts. The alternative is that you don’t know what monopoly means and you are just using it a general way to say you don’t like Apple.

I’m not so sure it’s ‘just’ signalling. If I was a billionaire, I would definitely own some $100K watches and probably have some million dollar artwork. Why? Because some expensive watches are really nice, and so are some expensive paintin

The App Store was ruled in court not to be a monopoly. Apple sells tools and parts to anyone who wants them, so it’s not really clear what you are talking about when it comes to repair. But even if there was some merit to that point, it’s s

Apple’s profit margins have never been 90%+. I recommend you do some googling before posting false information. Apple has never had a monopoly on anything. They just use the same silicon for a lot of products and have good profit margins,

Seems like you are desperately threatened by the analysis of Tim Sweeney’s posting and want people to ignore it without reading it. I can’t see another reason why you’d write a pure ad-hominem that has literally no connection to the OP. If

What makes you think the parking lot is important? It seems like an entirely incidental detail in your example. There are paving stones on which a million people walk each year. They are of no more importance than a parking lot in which a

It wasn’t asterisked with anything. Slaves were excluded. Compromise doesn’t mean people ‘agree’ on some truth. You can twist language to make the claim that everyone agreed with slavery, but that is clearly a dishonest claim.
