that gets into interesting Human-Comp Interaction discussions, but a good place to start is that the HCI dynamic of mobile/tablet platforms is totally different (deliberately) from that traditional approach to browsers. So I guess it could be done, but relying on that approach undermines a lot of what make mobile platforms 'mobile platforms.'
It's a managed market. If consumer trends in Canada shifted away from dairy it would not somehow survive.

Instead, dairy farmers collaborate to avoid production waste and to coordinate for seasonal/cyclical changes in demand and production.

Alphabet happens to be number 9 on your list, so what's your point?

The "Comcast" amount is $31K out of over $8 million, and is 100% from individuals, not Comcast itself.

Edit (to address your edit about marketing emails and privacy):

Respectfully, I disagree. Privacy issues center around the invasion, and in extreme cases outright elimination, of privacy of individuals. This is when entities use (your) data to identify you even when you are trying to stay anonymous. When it becomes impossible for you to have privacy.

To be honest, this central issue has a fairly vast umbrella...but no, taking an e-mail (without a name even) and placing it on a marketing campaign list with explicit user consent via a true opt-in does not fall under that umbrella in my opinion.
It's a sad state we're in that instead of talking about the most important monopolies, we're only able to talk about the ones with the most brand recognition.
> My theory on why they switched was to keep people from easily side-loading APKs, and backing them up easily, etc.

I bet it was simply to prevent having to implement FAT32 or some feature related to FAT and pay royalties to MS for that, like long filename support or similar.

> Stop aws manipulating innovative projects in the name of managed services.

How? Redis is trying, and got backlash. Mongo is trying, and got backlash. Confluent is trying, and got backlash. We've rather got to pick our poison here: do we want companies to open their code and have it used for managed services/cloned, or do we want them to close it and keep making cool tech?

I recall reading about the model Google used to use for this sort of thing: open your source code about three to five years after you stop using it. This gives something to the community, while still allowing you to maintain a competitive advantage, run a managed service, etc. Particularly for those who run a SAAS model, it lets them gain widespread adoption before a competitor can spin up an instance of their stuff and undercut them slightly.

Oh, and for those saying "use the Red Hat model", the Red Hat model can't work for everyone. Red Hat had a new idea and essentially no competition for enterprise linux at the time, and so didn't have to deal with the competition. They got a chance to build a customer base before Oracle knocked their product off. And even then, Oracle did completely rip off their work. That's the risk you run with open-sourcing your codebase, and not every company is built to work that way; not our job to tell them they should redo their business model to allow it.

This smacks a little too much of "both-sidesism." The substantive difference between the two is that Warren will hire a cabinet of seasoned policy specialists who have the bandwidth to write accurate distinctions into law, while there was never any corollary action for Trump because birtherism was never going to be translated into policy; it was a play to prejudice.

Finland is, oddly enough, the largest consumer of milk:

"The 2007 milk consumption per capita in Finland was 361.19kgs, with milk consumption per person at about 34.34 gallons per year."

I don't often drink milk, but I buy a lot of it for making bread, and other cooking needs.

I'm surprised people would notice if you drank milk, or that you would care. People will judge on anything, after all!
Also quite a good checklist for money laundering. I think buying a house in the UK now requires ID for this reason, and there's an ongoing campaign to close the loopholes for companies.

Re: "Bing was not even launched until 2009, eight years after the Microsoft case was settled. MSN Search, its predecessor, did launch in 1998, but with licensed search results from Inktomi and AltaVista; Microsoft didn’t launch its own web crawler until 2005"

Had MS not been pressured by anti-trust scrutiny, they may have bought out early search startups. Therefore, MS may have been "late" to search due to anti-trust pressure, and not because they fumbled, as the author suggests. (We may never really know because this would have happened inside of Bill Gates' head.)

Ironically, MS may have gotten its start by the fact that IBM felt pressured to make an open-architecture PC due to anti-trust scrutiny. Otherwise, they would have prefered to hard-wire their system for their own PC operating system (created or purchased).

Re: "of course a browser should be bundled with an operating system; a new computer without a browser would be practically useless"

Including and bundling are not necessarily the same thing. An OS can include multiple browser brands and/or make it easy for new buyers to install another brand.

Re: "but rather the entire web; what ties things together are not APIs, but links."

But standards are needed for links & browsers to work right across brands, and standards and API's are pretty much the same thing.

Re: "Google would have emerged with or without antitrust action against Microsoft"

We don't know that. See above.

Re: "Facebook was dominant before it bought Instagram and WhatsApp, Google before it bought DoubleClick or YouTube, and Amazon before it bought..."

True, but they were even more dominant after. It's a winner-take-all economy these days, reducing competition. They may have got big being good, but that alone is no guarantee they'll stay good. It's human nature to slack when competition fades. It's why the Gov't is not efficient. (Google Maps has been slipping in quality of late I've noticed.)

Re: "the app market on PCs died in large part due to security concerns"

Come again?

Re: "Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Apple dominate because consumers like them. Each of them leveraged technology to solve a unique user needs"

True, but once big they start using other tricks besides being good. Oligopolies and monopolies almost always jack up prices and limit choice once competition goes away. MS left blatant bugs in MS-Access for several years once they flattened the other desktop databases. Good capitalism is based on competition. Competition shrinks, and corporate jerkification and slacking goes up. They shift focus from making a better mouse-trap to keeping others out of the mouse-trap business.

Warren's argument may not be perfect, but lack of competition clearly stifles the market in my observation of several decades dealing with the likes of Microsoft and the big telecoms, let alone the history of airlines, IBM, AT&T, eyeglasses, etc.

> You're confounding security with privacy strikes. How many 3rd party vulnerability security strikes does Google have?

Well, you were referring to Cliqz, Pocket and Mr. Robot, which where trust issues, not security issues. Google has at least as many of those.

That makes sense, because they're the same. You should distrust Google even more.
I don't think it potentially taking a long time was the primary reason for not making redis multithreaded. In the redis manifesto it is stated that one of the guiding principles is to avoid complexity if they can.

Also not that the benchmarks shown seem to be an apples and oranges comparison. If you want to compare the performance if redis vs a multithreaded fork the proper comparison involves running a redis cluster (one node per core) versus the multithreaded single node.

All else being equal I'd prefer a multithreaded approach as KeyDB is pursuing but that's just because it makes it easier to more easily utilise system resources of a single (virtual) machine.
So since most of the things we use everyday on the Internet is free, that means most products we use are run by companies that are using predator pricing.

Does that mean that HN should also come under scrutiny because it can price HN free? What if I wanted to start a competitor to HN? Should the government make it so there is an environment that makes that easier?
A lot of American cultural institutions are being lost in our effort to modernize and optimize production. This affects a lot of industries, not just dairy. Sadly, like the author, I can't really think of a good solution.

The only proposal that comes to mind: If America values its cultural institutions (I'm thinking specifically farmers, craftsmen, certain maritime industries, and machinists, although there are certainly more) and wants to preserve them, government entities need to provide some of the funding. This is obviously distasteful to some and I'm not sure if the positives outweigh the negatives. I'm also not sure what the extent of preservation societies are in America today.
So this isn't just banning from airports, this is banning from their airspace? That's then more or less a total grounding of them in Europe.

As an example, Norwegian (who has 15 of them) said they weren't grounding them as late as this morning, but now they'll have no choice. They use them mainly for their medium flights between scandinavia and southern europe (Nice, Budapest, Tenerife etc). No way they can do that without flying over Germany and France. It wouldn't be very good optics if they swapped their MAX'es to domestic use to free up regular 737's for flying over the continent either.
> But growing more food on less land might be a good thing.

Not if it costs us our humanity. The mistreatment of animals we eat/farm is astonishing.

Maximizing efficiency isn't always the best metric to try and optimize for, it leads to some really warped places.

(Interesting side note, Tolkien wrote about this a bunch -- Sauron was originally a forge/craftsman god who just really wanted to make things more efficient. His downfall was that he overly liked coordination and disliked wasteful friction.)

RE: Similar games: Yes, but if you look at Amazon reviews, people also try to compare it to things like Gloomhaven. The world of board games can be pretty hard to nail down in terms of similarity of games sometimes. Evolution is also not as popular as many games, and if the creator doesn't know the game she wouldn't compare it to the game. The line you're referencing is a semi-quote from the creator about her inspiration for it.

The article lists a bunch of topics that we DON'T really overrepresent. "Trains"? We have 1 popular game for that (Ticket to Ride). "Civilizations"? That's a REALLY broad subject, so that's harder to really make a call on. The others in the list are not really games that most of the really popular games focus on. Pandemic, Azul, Carcassone, Settlers of Catan -- These are a lot of the really popular games right now, and none of them hit on what we normally call "trendy topics for people". The main example I would have used if I was the author is _Lovecraft_, which is indeed VERY overrepresented in board games.

Also, I agree 100% -- I welcome diversity in my games. My beef is not with her game at all. It looks great. Honestly probably a game my wife and I will pick up, since it's similar to games we like. My problem is with the article not focusing at all on things that would better highlight the game, and therefore the author's success. She made a great game, people love it, and it's doing well. Focus on that, not on her gender or trying to straw man metrics of why she's doing well.

RE: Multiple paths to victory. I thought more about this, but I think what you're mistaking is "multiple PATHS to victory" vs "multiple victory conditions". Games like Stone Age, Ticket to Ride, Carcassone, and Settlers have 1 "victory condition" (have the most points"), but have MANY _paths_ to take to win with that condition. This game seems the same way, which I agree is a fantastic thing for a game to have, but given how common it is for games to have this now, I would no longer be comfortable calling it a "holy grail", since that term implies something that hasn't been achieved (or rarely is achieved), and that's provably false now.

I did once. But it was because I knew I was worth a lot more and got a 40% pay increase by changing companies, proving that I really was worth a lot more.

But my theory is that the new IT boss didn't like that I would say when an idea wasn't a good one, and so he stopped my raises to get rid of me without making it look like he was the reason.

As I left, they opened up job openings for 7 people at what I earned at my new job.

That makes me sound incompetent, but I was the guy that everyone called when there was a problem. Even when I wasn't "on call", I still got called. So I'm reasonably confident that it wasn't a skill or knowledge issue. Plus, I'm still at that new job and making a fair bit more than than when I started.

You seem to be arguing for a winner-take-all approach to the market.

Should future competitors to [monopolistic entity] be punished because [previous competitors] were unable to effectively compete?

In any case, I don't think punishment is really an apt metaphor for breaking apart a monopoly.
Kotlin vs. Java: Which Programming Language to Choose for Your Android App
Monopoly or not isn't necessarily the question... In the EU the issue often seems to be abuse of market position.

If Facebook were to lock Apple users out of new critically important Instagram filters because they wanted to sell the FacePhone. One could argue that they shouldn't be allowed to abuse their market position in social media to make unfair inroads in the phone market.

IMO, these things are hard to regulate, and most of our walled gardens are surprisingly interoperable :)
CDNPerf is great. I actually used them to choose which CDN to use for video on demand streaming. I ended up going with Google CDN. My benchmark was how many complaints I got from students on my platform[1].

- Cloudflare doesn't distribute hls segments they will just route everything to LAX

- Bunny CDN had a few

- KeyCDN had a few but better than Bunny CDN

- StackPath had a few but better than Bunny CDN

- Google CDN had 0 complaints

No youtube, Vimeo etc...

All video streaming / hosting is done in house. Streams about 500GB to 600GB / month.

I pay about 40 USD / month for Google CDN bandwidth. I used CDNPerf pricing calculator, it's spot on.

> Try writing java without an IDE.

Why?

The availability of powerful IDEs is one of the biggest selling points of Java, arguably topped only by portability and the large ecosystem of libraries. The fact is, if you're writing Java, you will almost certainly be using tools that help you write correct code more quickly.

And the nature of Java is what makes that possible. The IDE knows what your data means, and it knows if you're trying to do something that isn't allowed. That's the entire point of the article: Java forces you to declare what you're trying to do, the IDE holds your hand through that, and the compiler enforces it.

I don't think open core is being called into question. By that rationale, anything that is closed source that gets too popular is also called into question. Nothing is stopping AWS or anyone else from copying your API, features or anything else regardless of if your product is open, closed, or some combination in between.

I think if anything is called into question, it's the development of infrastructure software in a startup. Does it make economic sense anymore? As in, is it possible to profit directly off it at this point? Right now it obviously is, but it seems to be trending away from that.
>Right, so imagine separating Apple/Google totally from its current oversight position, and having a totally open app store

That's not the point. The point is that Netflix, HBO, Spotify, et. al. have to pay the 30% Apple/Google tax while the movie, music, etc. products from Apple/Google don't.

Warren's proposed rule is, effectively, you can produce something or you can sell something, but not both. Apple would need to decide if they want to be an app maker or an app seller.
Hi,

This is super helpful, really appreciate it. I will say that this feature along with reporting delivery by file is among the top feature requests on the new SP// platform.

We do have the ability to provide you with access logs, but it's not as convenient as the API above.

We also have several users creating real-time CDN logs with our Serverless EdgeEngine so that's an option as well.

Anyways, I've noted your request around the raw logs API going to the new platform and will be sure to stay on top of it.

Feel free to email me anytime, always happy to help - ben.gabler (at) stackpath (dot) com
Whether you have one hundred hectares or a million hectares, your animal density should be the same.

This isn't a case of more food on less land. The problem is that those with "more" are receiving substantial subsidies to sustain a business that would otherwise lose money. They are then able to invest that money into buying more land to get more animals and larger subsidies, resulting in overproduction and reduced margins, forcing the smaller farms out of the market.

Even if you don't drink milk, if you pay your taxes, you are paying for it.

Like I said, it's disgusting.

Deb/apt might have been nicer to use, but as a packager I found the packaging format extremely horrible to work with.

There's a very complex interaction between the various files which define a package. It's extremely hard to find out what debhelper and its associated commands are actually doing and to debug them, particularly if you're trying to split a package into multiple parts. I gave up several times trying to make my package before finally succeeding with a simplified version. I'm not sure I will understand how it works when I go back to it.

On top of that the sheer volume of rules and regulations, different packaging helpers and out of date suggestions just added to the problem.

Deb has far too much magic. Rpm is much clearer. I can define a simple configuration file which takes the source, patches it, builds it, and describes the packaged files. I've never had a problem understanding an rpm source package.
