> ASML are dutch, and ARM are a UK company I guess it’s much easier for them to compete for workers since IIRC Intel (and I assume others in the sector) don’t pay that well compared to software companies

I wonder why don’t more companies do that considering you can get people in the EU who will work for peanuts compared to the salaries in the US.

AirPods are just earphones without a wire. I don’t see how is this really comparable…

by ztrww 3y ago
The jump from wearing headphones with wire to wireless is a magnitude or two smaller than this. IMHO it would require 15-20+ years to not look weird to most people

More or less. I mean there is the giant iPhone(iPad) and some accessories for the iPhone (watch, airpods).

No, but I presumed you object to drugs due the negative social utility their usage leads to. Why is it any of your or mine business what substances people consume if they don’t hurt anyone by doing that?

Nicotine or tobacco even are not intoxicants, strictly speaking. Also what you’re proposing seems like an extremely slippery slope. What’s the issue with intoxicants? They are harmful? Well a lot of things are.. why don’t we ban sugar, satu

I’m not sure that’s true. The N haplogroup is indeed mainly only extant in the Baltic States, Finland and northern Scandinavia but they are more likely to be descendants of Eastern Hunter-Gatherers rather than West European ones. https:&#x

people don’t get lung cancer because of nicotine.

the issue with tobacco is primarily its most prevalent consumption method. Nicotine is of course addictive but it’s not a particular dangerous and potential has some positive effects. Not that different to caffeine.

Only realistic outcome from this would be Google/Chrome becoming even more dominant since there would be no reason for anyone to use any other browser.

by ztrww 3y ago
what you’re advocating would only increase chrome’s dominance to 95%+. there artificial limitations imposed by Apple and MS are the only things that are keeping the browser market marginally competitive.

Exactly, you’d use the to do the same thing more or less but the iPhone had way better UX. The idea of browsing the web on your phone wasn’t something new or revolutionary, it was all about the implementation.
