The problem is with ownership I think. I'm not German so I'm really only speaking from what I've seen online (mostly here), but my understanding is that for Germans in particular (maybe EU writ large), you own data about you regardless of how it is collected or who has custody of it. In the US, it seems like the data about people is owned by whoever creates that data (in this case, an insurance company), so they are free to do with that data whatever they like provided it doesn't violate some other non-data-specific law.
It sucks for the employees and executives laid off (especially during this pandemic), but audiences continue to consume a steady stream of high quality scripted content (ranging from low budget sitcoms to high budget action movies). If executives at Warner Media struggle to meet shareholder expectations as audiences vote with their wallets and opt for streaming services instead of cable bundles then so be it. The executives at Netflix have earned their place (and one day, they too will be replaced).

I read an article somewhere in which a cop told the story of conducting an interrogation using an ersatz lie detector. If he thought the suspect was lying, he'd push a button, and out would come a piece of paper saying "He's lying."

It was a Xerox machine.

Streaming services may be 'in control' but they're still as bad as, or controlled by, the studios they're replacing.

In the UK, suppose I want to watch Forbidden Planet, or Gone With The Wind, or Carry on Screaming. Show me a streaming service that has those films. I either wait 6 months and hope the TV shows them or.... hello bittorrent. Even more recent films.

Suppose I want to listen to Louis Armstrong, or Ella Fitzgerald? Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music all have those songs.

It's just a shame we didn't have higher bandwidth in the Napster era to do to the studios what it did to record labels.

Maybe the fake reviews are there to make you focus on the legit looking one or two reviews that are some part critical but have 4.5 star rating.
I was asking rhetorically, because the counterpoint is the existence of competition. Are you any less locked into a platform that has 90% market share as opposed to one that has 50%? What matters is the degree of lock in, not total market share.

By the definition of 100% market share, Microsoft wasn’t a monopoly, and they argued this in court. They argued that Netscape was on a level playing field because, like AOL, they could carpet bomb the country with install disks, while MS could include their browser on 90+% of new computers sold.

Intent tends to matter with the law. Ford knew there was a problem, knew they could fix it, and elected not to because "it's a small number of deaths". You can replace things, not people.

That retrospective analysis utterly misses the point: for the area they were responsible for, if the company knew they could do better and elected not to, then they got treated exactly as they should have.
My wife posted a 1 star review on a crappy bookshelf that didn't fit the description (not wood, wrong color) and was structurally weak.

On year later, she received an email threatening a defamation lawsuit unless she takes down the review. Looking at the seller reviews, it looks like this wasn't an isolated incident as other people were complaining. Obviously, this doesn't hold legally. But we are left with the feeling that they might still try to challenge us legally at any time, which is a really unpleasant feeling.

You get what you pay for.

Less extreme example: When people sell their house 30% below market rate then you have to prepare yourself for the possibility that you have to spend that saved 30% on remodeling the home. Cheap properties usually have problems but estimating how much it costs to fix them is difficult if you are not the owner. However, the owner knows that it would take X amount of money to repair the home so he deducts X from the market price to clear the sale.

When you're saving 99% expect to replace up to 99% of the house.

The only real way to save money is by doing the repairs/remodeling yourself but that's basically a second job.

Regardless of the usefulness of category theory or not, the author seems to imply that "traditional linear algebra" is about matrices.

This is not true. This may be true from an engineering perspective, or maybe if you've studied in the US, but over here, linear algebra starts with fields, vector spaces, homomorphisms. We establish pretty early on that matrices and linear transformations are in essence the same thing (up to choice of basis), and then we go on to prefer coordinate-free proofs. But, of course, we do discuss the computational aspect (i.e. the Gauss algorithm) because this is exactly what makes linear algebra so useful: many questions can be answered extremely efficiently.

Whether you want to frame things in the language of category theory or not, is up to anyone, but the "standard mathematical treatment" is quite beautiful and intriguing already (if I want to feel inspired, I open up my copy of Halmos's "Finite Dimensional Vector Spaces", not necessarily the best introduction for someone who is new, but very beautifully written for someone who has already seen linear algebra).

Not being a pure monopoly doesn't prove that Apple doesn't have market power. Moreover I don't think people are saying that Apple has a monopoly of smartphones.

The argument is that Apple is using their market power to set prices that seems well above the marginal cost. And they also have created policies that prevent competition in their store. Imagine Windows not allowing any apps unless they give them a 30% cut.

Virtual threads will probably have a lot more impact than you imagine. Basically any server gets written in weird ways currently due to the need to conserve threads, or belief that you might need to in future. Blocking IO is just simpler to program but nobody does it anymore for that reason. The amount of code that will become "tech debt" the moment Loom becomes widely available is very large.

Oracle are improving the Java language, but of course Kotlin could go much faster as a greenfield project with no community to involve or please. It's got a long way to go to match Kotlin. That said, Kotlin the language is now stable for quite some time and isn't really changing, so it's a relatively static target.

Unneeded efforts is where all the technology began. Some ape grabbing a stick instead of shoving more leaves into his mouth. Investing time and resources, thinking, that's where technology starts.

We use technology to create more food than nature provides voluntarily. Plants have become technology and we will use them as long as their synthesizing processes are more efficient as pure technological ones.

But at one point, it will be more efficient to go full synthetic. If you kill all life, all fungi, all bacteria, everything will be dead matter, and like rocks on Mars or frozen seals at the poles, nothing will move in an uncontrolled way and everything will be in line with the way humans think.

For sure, we have killed precious knowledge and as you say, we will never get it back. But that's due to humans being short-sighted and acting in a non-technological way. Like guns, it's not technology that is destroying the rain forest and reducing biodiversity. It's humans who follow their natural urges.
A modular battery would make the laptop bulkier. If a modular NVMe drive wouldn't, it's because other components have already have. And beyond that, you should be comparing to an Air or MacBook, if we're talking about devices that have been optimized at the expense of modularity.

Also, soldering down RAM means you don't have to include support for negotiating the properties and quality of arbitrary RAM sticks, which you'd have to do with socketed RAM; that can mean booting faster and providing more performance.

There are good reasons to design components to work specifically with other components. There are also good reasons to make devices more modular. Both have value, to different users with different use cases.

Size of the business is not relevant unless:

1) The business has a dominant market position

Or

2) The behavior of the business is likely to result in the business achieving a dominant market position

Neither of these apply to Apple. They are a minority player in the smartphone market and their market share is shrinking.

If Apple has a monopoly on their own App Store then Epic has a monopoly on their own game. Period.
I'd agree in general, but that hardly works for larger teams or even multiple teams. This can probably be solved by a good linting tool, but I am not too familiar with the state of linting in Kotlin.
Kotlin/Native is LLVM based. Judging from the Rust experience compilation times won't ever be excellent. But Kotlin is multi-platform, so if you're not calling into Java APIs then you could prototype suitable modules on the JVM where compile times are much better, then bring it to the native world later.

Or use GraalVM native-image to AOT compile Kotlin/JVM to a standalone binary. That gets you same user-visible outcomes more or less, but you can then use all JVM libs, not just Kotlin libs.

That's a "controlled by" problem, not an "as bad as" problem. Region restrictions are primarily imposed by studios, so that they can make different exclusive licensing deals in different regions.

The other thing going on is that Netflix' DVD service drove Blockbuster et al out of business and now the Netflix back catalog is pretty terrible. So you increasingly can't rent a disc if something isn't available streaming--even a la carte. (In fairness, many films are available for Amazon pay-per-view that aren't on all you can eat subscriptions, including 2 of the films you mention.)

But it's a mess generally. I don't know if it's Napster/bandwidth given that mechanical licensing for music is much older. In any case though, we've largely moved to a new medium but a lot of content hasn't moved over.

>Intent tends to matter with the law. Ford knew there was a problem, knew they could fix it, and elected not to because "it's a small number of deaths". You can replace things, not people.

Per the link posted by the GP the Pinto did not have any problems relative to other cars of the same type and era. Ford's "intent" (if you can call it that since they didn't know the future at the time) was to say "err, we don't really think there's a problem here so we'll pay out money when this happens but it's not recall worth" and the investigation bore that out which is why they were not found guilty. I don't really want to defend BigCo (or any other large group with diffuse responsibility) but it's 2020 and here I am.

>That retrospective analysis utterly misses the point: for the area they were responsible for, if the company knew they could do better and elected not to, then they got treated exactly as they should have.

Everyone could always do better on any given metric but the question is at what cost and with what tradeoffs. People buy compacts and subcompacts because they are cheap and fuel efficient. You could build a subcompact that just bounces when rear-ended by a freight train but nobody would buy that because it would cost a ton and weigh a ton (several tons actually) defeating the value proposition of a compact car.
