Being from the Netherlands and having had a company there for 30 years, I know how well the law works; I have had many companies simply not paying invoices. And because the amounts are small (few 1000 usually) they get away with it without issues. We have tried everything: even winning in court but they still did not pay. Possession indeed is 9/10 of the law. So I would not worry about it too much not paying some Adobe bill.
Isn’t it also the case that FB didn’t allow CA to scrape data, but gave permission to a UK researcher who then sold the data to CA?
> So can I define Epic having a monopoly on being able to buy things in Fortnite?

If price increases for Fortnite IAP don't, empirically, drive people to stop buying them in favor of alternatives of some kind, yes. Or, rather, you can't define the market that way, but if there is no substitution effect a US court considering an anti-trust claim is likely to see that as the relevant market, not some broader, say, battle royale game IAP market in which price-driven substitution does not occur.

Fake FSD, the real profit center. They can't recognize the revenue, but the market has realized they don't need to. They never have to deliver.

Even then I don't know if an $8,000 scam feature is enough margin for a 1,000 PE ratio.
Sure, that's a fair point, but that has nothing to do with PPP. PPP is about exchange rates, not about goods.

#3 makes a lot of sense to me. However, it seems like that could be tricky, because the context is always changing. For example, by the time your product comes out, you could have built it in the context of Snapchat but now everyone is using TikTok.

There's a cost to answering this question wrong too -- the US spent the better part of last century toppling governments and installing sock-puppets, and it led to resentment, terrorism, and revolutions that brought even worse governments.

What Apple and Google is doing is in many ways effectively price control and inhibits free market dynamics.

For example Apple demand that app developers price their apps in the app store similar to the same service in other stores (website, Google play store, etc), even though they are taking a huge 30% cut. So Spotify can't price their product 30% more expensive in the app store, which makes the app store appear competitive and effectively kills incentives for the app store to reduce their fees, while devaluing products sold through the app store.

I do agree with you though about the political side of the matter.
While there was lots of bluffing on both sides (Star Wars, cough), the notion of "better" is a terrible misunderstanding of that time, and of nuclear weapons today. Once capacity exists on all sides to end earth several times over, better is an exercise and distinction without meaning, a mad illusion of value maybe to military grammar nazis

I don't deny that "good" (people may have varying definitions of good, acceptable costs of obtaining sufficient good-ness, whether those costs are assumed to be burdened upon a individual or society unquestioningly, on whether such costs can be minimized and how such minimization might negatively affect those not directly integral to academic pursuits and more integral a current system of manifesting such at non minimized costs) peer review may weed these behaviors out more often than not (boasting over mediocre results, outright faking stuff, etc), but for me, I'm not too concerned because this stuff will happen no matter what to some degree (like you say `It doesn't get better wirh Arxiv`). We are only human.

I'm more interested in making the _costs_ of publishing/disseminating/accessing research cheaper so that individuals/orgs/etc can bypass expensive institutions if they so choose, or even gain the ability to participate because they have no other realistic options now due to current costs of participation in the ecosystem (I personally have to deal with thousands of journals/conferences/orgs every week that use software I write at significantly cheaper costs than say systems MIT has at its disposal, that without such, their works would not be available to society [i've see domains i route for go down when they stopped paying their bills for a month or longer, and we had to redirect publications/data back out from domain so that it could still be available]).

Any system that can drive down the costs for pursing academic interests for both the individual and society will eventually subvert those that came before, relegating them a hollow shell of the purpose they once served, if any aspect of a previous system manages to survive.

Many people associate the word "libertarian" with right-libertarianism, which is the predominant form of libertarianism in the United States. Ayn Rand's philosophy of objectivism is right-libertarian.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-libertarianism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism_in_the_United_S...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivism_and_libertarianism

On the other hand, left-libertarians oppose capitalism while supporting personal property rights. Left-libertarians and right-libertarians find common ground in rejecting authoritarian governments.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-libertarianism

Libertarianism comprises a diverse collection of views that aim to advance individual freedom, and anyone who is not an authoritarian is likely to agree with some libertarian principles.

I feel like network effects are at play here. For locals, Ride Austin becomes the default. But for Austin, there's also many events that bring in regional and international travelers; it's not hard for them to find out who the local ride service is, download the app, and set up the service, but if Uber and Lyft are available, they're the lower friction option and are going to be the default choice of travelers, regardless of moral fringe benefits like paying drivers better or supporting charities.

Window transparency is actually a way to increase the information density; if you set the transparency just right, with a bit of practice you can essentially view the contents of several windows at once in the same space. For a long time I used a laptop with only XGA (1024x768) resolution, and writing code in a semi-transparent window with docs, IM, and several other windows underneath made the small screen far more usable than it would be otherwise.

I would rather the lenience they experienced be extended to those who have done time for less serious crimes.
While the parent is correct that the person robbing a store is very likely using a weapon to do it, they left out that the US uses a rather extreme increasing punishment system for repeat offenders.

People robbing stores, I'd wager, are often repeat offenders. Mandatory minimum sentencing laws over the last few decades have dramatically increased the prison-time durations for those people, even for many lesser/low violence crimes.
nothing society can do about that problem to help any particular individual

In general, this is less true than it often seems. It won't be possible to reach every individual, but I can think of some things that would help a lot of individuals who find themselves excluded.

For example, sociologists (or even just friends) identifying traits that lead to exclusion, and then others developing and incorporating antidotes to those traits in media and relationships.

If it's people being unfit, find ways to make fitness more culturally appealing to more people (disassociating fitness with "jockness" would be one way to help e.g. nerds want to be more fit). If it's smell, find a way to make soaps or dietary changes or microbiome therapies or whatever more available and appealing.

If it's specific behaviors, find ways to show those behaviors and non-pejoratively show narratives in popular shows of people freeing themselves from those unappealing behaviors.

If there's some missing adaptation to society's norms and unspoken means of communication due to being excluded at very a young age, maybe someone can create a LARP that teaches those. If it's just being in the wrong place, make it easier for people to move and reinvent themselves in a new place with a culture that fits them better.

they sent phishing links thru sms and also do sim swaps. They hijack the phone number by connecting it to another sim card. They also have people work at the providers that give them access to these numbers. I'm in those groups so I'm not talking out of my ass.
The article is spot on abt anticipation of emails. With cell phones and easy access to email the social expectation of replying sooner has gone up.
Marketing tactics dictate sending emails at the right time when you are expecting.

Expectation of response on chat systems is minutes and a day or less for emails.

Wish we had a way to fix this. Not talking about tools but in general expectation around putting timeline around others attention.
Which country? Because here in south eu all banks give out debit cards as standard card. NL is different in that they use maestro so if you want to travel (outside of eu) you have to request a regular debit/credit card and most NL banks do not issue debit cards outside maestro, so you get a Cc.
That's absurd. Your parent post said, "most society sectors that happens to be outside America". All it takes to disprove is a few examples. I showed you a search link to pages of them.

In Canada, we're mostly limited to Bell, Rogers, Telus and Shaw, along with some other provincial crown corporations. Our geography might cause a slight increase in costs, but other than that, limited choice in the market and high barrier to entry keeps our fees high I think.

Let's pretend for a second, that you just don't know how to write a simple thought in a coherent way, accidentally tried to say "the stereotype blacks are stupid is true", and aren't instead just backpedaling from your original shitty comment after being called out...

You say it's a difference in environment, so why use that difference to defend a statement like "blacks are stupid"?!

Why try to make a try and enforce a racist statement like "blacks are stupid", that's actually _less valid_ and _much more easily disproven_ than the hypothesis you claim you're _actually_ backing, that environmental differences lead to differences in intelligence?

After all, while it's trivial to find studies questioning the reliability and validity (not just statistical validity) of IQ tests... it's _more_ trivial to find studies showing the effect of different cultures on IQ tests ability to even measure intelligence: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Culture-Fair-Cognitive...

_The study you link is making connections to race with specific goals in mind that have nothing to do with trying to defend a stereotype as heinous as "blacks are stupid". In fact their point is literally the opposite, that what appears to be a simple gap in races, is actually a reflection of environmental differences._

It's clear to me that your own underlying bias caused you to try and draw a conclusion that literally does not exist, and you internally try to write off every single attempt to call out your own stupidity as pearl clutching.

It's literally the opposite of defending a statement like "blacks are stupid"

No testing gap being closed is continent on people "not sweeping under the rug the fact that blacks are stupid!"

Now, let me be a little personal here, you are the worst kind of person and part of a growing plague.

This new wave of people overestimating their intelligence and understanding, and undervaluing basic human decency because "it flies in the idea of logic!" and "you're only mad I said something heinous because of <insert overused logical fallacy>!!!!".

There are a lot of truly awful things that you can justify if your only criteria is "I can misconstrue a study to make a shitty defense of it!"

Do your friends at "Lean St" know that you spend your time defending statements like "blacks are stupid"? Maybe you should tell them?

Interesting and relevant story, if true. Apparently this story is part of a Washington Post series called "Retropolis: The past, rediscovered". I can't find any information on the WaPo website about the author, Dustin Waters, but I didn't look too hard. Waters doesn't cite the historical sources he uses. I guess we're supposed to believe him because of the stellar reputation of the Washington Post.
I am predicting this at the large firm where i work. They use terms like "robotics" and "ai robots". The primary line of thought being touted across the firm is "easier to transfer and maintain than traditional code", but there is substantial gatekeeping occurring. I assume license prices are high, because there are not many per department. I am guessing that some of the "automators" holding these scarce licenses will develop a nice moat for themselves if they can prove their value. I sat in on a meeting where the "automator" and his manager said they were seeking to automate high-time-savings/high-risk tasks first (risk being large potential dollar loss, legal exposure, etc. upon failure), which is odd but great for visibility and moat-building (given that fear of traditional code brought them to this point, fear of being unable to properly maintain the ""robots"" could easily come next)

I'm stuck with Gmail. Getting the services I have free would probably be unaffordable with any other service; I've got two legacy free Google apps accounts; one has 500 users available with 4 domaine and several subdomains (about 20 active users and 40 inactive). The other has 100 users available, and is used for my personal/family use. I can't see getting this kind of service free anywhere. Not to mention, there's purchased apps from the play store (and other services) on some if these accounts that aren't easily transferred elsewhere.
The slam dunk will look like meh to everyone else. It’s the idea AND the insight that counts.

I think I made myself clear. Manufacturing huge volumes of cheap plastic is currently a very ecologically damaging thing. Since my home town is currently engulfed in flames I have been thinking a lot about human impact on the climate. And it feels increasingly shortsighted to read articles that say “wow look at all the money this person made” without addressing the ecological impact of their work. Some toy companies make long lasting toys from 100 percent post consumer recycled plastics with minimal packaging. But this guy who made billions probably did it with big shipments of virgin plastic made from who knows where.

I see no reason why highlighting the effects of such businesses should be condemned here. I wanted to temper some of the euphoria that comes to us Silicon Valley types when billions in revenue comes up.

Any concrete example of this? I'm working in Tokyo right now and I see Japanese companies pretty much engage in anything SV throws this way (stuff like apple, slack, uber eats, github etc etc).
The matter under contention is the pricing of in-app purchases, not the pricing of phones. By disallowing app stores other than Apple's App Store, Apple is coercing users to pay an inflated price for in-app purchases, since it takes a 42.8% price hike to negate Apple's 30% fee.
