Ah, the repeated companies had me confused for a moment, too! The list is partitioned by { company, founder } (note the different ownership percentages), which is why some companies appear multiple times.
The reason Google is because of their AI. And the reason their AI is good is because of the massive amount of data they collect by violating privacy. No other company can start right now. Their search engine is years of efforts of collecting every user's data in Chrome for determining 'freshness', page rank and other related stuff.

That's a HDMI capture device. The one you've linked takes a HDMI signal, compresses it, and provides it over USB2.0.

When digitalizing VHS tapes, generally one doesn't have a HDMI signal to use. They either have Composite (typical) or S-Video (better, but rarer). Typically, one should get a Composite/S-Video to USB device rather than trying to add a Composite/S-Video to HDMI device into the link here. Adding more pieces that you don't have control over tends to result in more issues and/or worse capture quality (due to extra filtering/compression steps applied).

Devices like the "Hauppauge 610 USB-Live 2" and "Elgato Video Capture" (I'd use the Hauppage device personally) provide a Composite/S-Video to USB 2.0 adapter that can provide uncompressed video.

Given that the practical survival of technology megacorps depends heavily on internal competition and making unpopular internal moves, I'm surprised that megacorps today still don't foster internal competition and encouraging the propagation of negative opinions as much as they should.

As an example of an org that does it _right_ (even if I have absolutely no idea _how_ they do it), look at Apple: when the iPhone was ready for release they made the gut-wrenching decision to axe the superbly profitable and hugely popular iPod product line. It's hard to imagine another company doing something as drastic at that, especially when the bright future of the iPhone wasn't really established until after the defeat of Blackberry and Windows Phone by 2013.
The argument is that Google would use its monopoly in other areas to defend its monopoly in search. For instance, what if the most popular browser (Chrome, conveniently for Google) just... didn't work very well with this new search engine? Entirely innocent technical details, of course... a wonky library here, a faster protocol there which they can adopt first. Pretty soon, the new search engine is "the slow one" through no fault of its own.

Most interesting part IMO is at the end (emphasis mine):

> That, though, is why it is a mistake to read the report as some sort of technocratic document... it is exceptionally difficult to make the case that any of these companies are causing consumer harm, which is the de facto standard for antitrust in the United States. Indeed, what makes Google’s contention that “The competition is only a click away” so infuriating is the fact it is true.

> What matters more is the context laid out by Letwin: there is a strain of political thought in America, independent of political party (although traditionally associated with Democrats), that is inherently allergic to concentrated power — monopoly in the populist sense, if not the legal one.

> Hatred of monopoly is one of the oldest American political habits and like most profound traditions, it consisted of an essentially permanent idea expressed differently at different times. “Monopoly”, as the word was used in America, meant at first a special legal privilege granted by the state; later it came more often to mean exclusive control that a few persons achieved by their own efforts; but it always meant some sort of unjustified power, especially one that raised obstacles to equality of opportunity.

> In other words, this subcommittee report is simply a new expression of an old idea; the details matter less than the fact it exists.

I think this reflects a lot of discourse I've seen on HN -- one commenter condemning Google/Apple/etc. for being a monopoly, and a second commenter observing the company doesn't meet the legal standard of a monopoly, but it's like both sides are talking past each other.

It's because most people don't actually care about the meaningful technical definition of a monopoly -- they just don't like it when companies get too big, period. At the end of the day, it's like there's something inherently satisfying when the big guy gets knocked down, the idea that being big is bad in and of itself.

I think that's a really valuable observation that Stratechery makes.

> I'm just a bit shocked how pre-modern our system for collecting this knowledge appears to be.

I'm not an expert, but I imagine any more advanced system would be extremely problematic from a data protection point of view (think HIPAA etc.). In a study, patients sign multiple pages of legalese to allow the researchers to collect all the required data. You don't have that with regular patients in a GP's office.

> not performance

This is NOT true. There is almost always an expectation that your application have a reasonable performance profile. It's often not a captured requirement, but I guarantee you once things slow to a crawl you WILL get an escalation.

Do you know what happens when escalations become too frequent? Progress grinds to a halt as developers have to churn out of what they're doing to address non-functional issues.

Somebody operating at a product owner level rarely has any concept of this stuff. It's up to the engineering team to be the bad guy and tell him or her that they're not going to get their laundry list satisfied in the time that's available and actually deliver usable software.
`Cargo` and `go` are the reasons I don't want to work with other languages that don't have good default tooling for dependency management, formatting code, linting, etc.
They're not arguing that Google's monopoly is good, I think, but just to take note that that's currently also the only thing that pays for some resistance to the monopoly.

How about MongoDB Atlas?
If CPython had slowly deprecated the C API in favor of an external extension mechanism like Lua using ctypes or cffi [1], then we wouldn't be in this mess. Best time to plant a tree.

The C API is what prevents PyPy or other Python runtimes from being able to compete and interop. The community could do this, rebase Python modules with native code to cffi so that they can run in all Pythons. The C API is neither good, nor necessary and only serves to gate keep CPython's access to the rest of the Python user community.

"Tulip mania was a period in the Dutch Golden Age during which contract prices for some bulbs of the recently introduced and fashionable tulip reached extraordinarily high levels and then dramatically collapsed in February 1637. It is generally considered the first recorded speculative bubble in history." - Wikipedia

Yes tulips have intrinsic value, but not the value speculators were paying for them during the Dutch tulip bubble leading up to 1637. Cryptocurrencies are very similar to that.
>but it seems like they'll still need to beef up their processes, as regulators are quite interested in proving where cryptocurrencies came from.

Perhaps PayPal will only allow people to pay with cryptocurrency they have bought from PayPal in the first instance. So there wouldn't be any incoming our outgoing movements of cryptocurrency at all.

No, you're correct.
That C code is 39% faster than the Julia version, so faster but not massively so. You can optimize the Julia code to be as fast as the C code by using in-place operations, but it's probably not worth if for such a small speedup unless the code is a real bottleneck. By comparison, the Python version (using NumPy, of course) is 25x slower than C, which is a whole different situation.

Most the speed advantage of the C here is due to reusing the same memory over and over, which you can do pretty easily in Julia as well. Here's the Julia code using in-place operations and it's still quite a bit more readable than the C version: https://gist.github.com/StefanKarpinski/e57f5a36b7890b261a0d.... I timed this and it's the same speed as the C version. When developing this, it follows the same general outline as the C version, but you have several benefits: (1) You can use asserts to compare to the easy version; (2) There are niceties like bounds checks and array indexing. In C you can't do (1) because there is on easy version to compare with. And doing the array index computations in C is kind of a nightmare—it's so easy to accidentally screw them up.

According to statcounter in September 2016 Firefox had a roughly 15% market share. It now has roughly 9%. In America it's 13.7% down to 7.1%.

The monthly active users chart for Firefox shows that the last time there were 250M+ active users was April 2019 and the last time there were 240M+ active was October of that year. The graph as presented shows a very slight curve downward, it would be more clear if the Y axis started at 200M (which would however bring about its own caveats - data visualization sucks).
"Because no one is looking for tissue that secretes saliva (not very interesting medically), coupled with the fact that this requires special PET/CT to find. You are a buffoon."

et2o: yes—a buffoon—that's very likely true, but at least I admit it!

However, you medicos have a damn lot to answer for. Where would you like me to start? Perhaps with the thalidomide fiasco, or more recently the abysmal lack of preparation for COVID-19 even though we knew it was coming decades ago, or the current opioid epidemic, the policies of which were sorted out nearly a century ago with both government regulation and tightly controlled international treaties, all of which have recently been [conveniently] forgotten by the pharmaceutical industry, the FDA, along with a disreputable mob of doctors who disbanded their Hippocratic Oaths for a few shekels from mafia-like Purdue. Right, the law should bring them all to account.

Perhaps the most tragic aspect of the opioid crisis is that the thousands of 'good' doctors stood knowingly by and effectively did nothing, seemingly ethics flew out the window. In words loosely attributed to Edmund Burke: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing".

"(not very interesting medically)"

Whilst many areas of medical science have done wonders, in others research has been almost non-existent. You're right, certain diseases/subjects are not interesting or boring and concomitantly that they fail to attract funding is a problem, and it's always been that way. In this regard, the trouble is (and has always been) that the self-governing medical profession has never been able to prioritize patients above their own interests, not to mention money. In essence, medical researchers do not exercise granularity evenly over the field of medical knowledge (as you implied yourself); and that's aided and abetted by large pharma, et al whose principal interest is money, not medicine.

Both of your first two cases exist when people convert code bases that used raw pointers to shared_ptr. The normal intended usage of shared_ptr is to use make_shared and never have a raw pointer ever exist. The need to us shared_from this (or create a new independent shared ptr) happens only because some part of the code base is still using raw pointers for that particular class.

OTOH, C++ needs the ability to support old code bases because of its age. Of course a new language can forego this.

As for cycles, for GC language using ref-counting under the hood, the same problem applies. I've also seen memory leak from accidental keeping of pointers in fully GC languages. I've seen it happens in Java multiple times. Of course, two wrongs don't make right, but in this case GC is only solving one case.

But the more fundamental issue at play is that pointer cycles usually means a lack of up-front design and thought about how a program will work. As such, it is bad, but only a symptom of a lack of proper initial design which can manifest itself in all kind of places.
The blogs and tweets I follow have coalesced around a particular view of this case, which is that it's pretty weak for the reasons mentioned in the OP: it seems to be trying to protect extremely large and well-resourced competitors (like Microsoft) and relies on facts which demonstrate the anti-competitive practices of Apple, rather than those of Google.

This might mean running firewalls on the local networks which block outgoing traffic to Apple. And possibly keeping Apple devices vpned to such a network.

I was looking forward to new Apple devices, but feel uncertain about the "trust Apple but no one else" approach.

Concerns:

1) Apple devices have been configurable to be respectful if not invisible in corporate or client windows networks.

You could use a Mac with a firewall in windows environments without being worried about setting off something on the network for unusual traffic. Especially for environments that don't support some but don't stop it either.

2) Corporate Windows networks can control the monitoring of telemetry and metadata to a higher degree than Apple now seems to. It could be a new gap in Apple when compared to others.

If the above are true, it's not clear if Apple sees few Mac users in any corporate environment as an opportunity to grow, it's only accelerating the consideration of other operating systems.

Apple also appears to be signaling that devices do not belong to the customer. The idea of we will protect your data, but trust your data to our policies, which we can change seems confusing. I'm considering the new iPhone for security, but this workaround seems like an affront to it.
Yep! We have a "Firecracker that accepts QUIC" running with this.

> No commodity has "intrinsic value".

Anything you can use directly has intrinsic value. Intrinsic value is a negligible part of the total value of gold. But it's a significant part of the total value of e.g. cereal grain, which is historically a common monetary commodity.

It's definitely partly thanks to the bootcamps and whatnot because a bunch of the advice when finishing the programs revolves around having a consistent amount of github projects and commits to fill up that chart with green squares on your profile.

They didn't tell us to pick random projects from 5 years ago but they also didn't go into ettiquette about commits or really how to properly contribute, just "make sure your github is very active because that's what employers and recruiters want to see." My anxiety shoots through the roof just thinking about hitting up some random school project though...that's a bit far for me lol.
I'm one of the types that doesn't care much if a company has/hasn't reached the legal definition of a monopoly.
