Say there are only two places in the world that you can get groceries (apps): MegaMarket and Grocery King. Alongside that, these supermarkets offer amenities like shopping carts to make your visit more comfortable.

One of the amenities that MegaMarket offers is a water cooler (music app). Then, one day, they decide to change the water cooler into a house brand coffee machine (music streaming) that has the water tap function stuffed away on its back.

All the other coffee brands are in the back of the store in a rack, all next to eachother. Meanwhile, MegaMarket’s coffee is front and center right as you walk into the store. And a bunch of people who’s store route never took them to the back of the store now also try coffee and get used to buying it each month.

See how that horribly disadvantages the singular coffee brands? And none of them have the capital needed to start their own supermarket. And even if they did, their new grocery platform could never build enough marketshare before MegaMarket coffee entrenches itself in the coffee market.

iMessage infrastructure belongs solely to Apple. It’s a value add for people who hit their products. What is owed to people who are not their customers?

If you ran a business and provided a service to your paying customers, should you be forced to offer it gratis to anyone who wants to use it? That’s an absurd position.
Neat design. How can I copy it?

There are a few of these around the US. We lost our big one in NYC, Gowanus E-Waste Warehouse, a few years ago. I wish there was another one here I could volunteer with.
It doesn’t have a viable substitute for me. So… seems like they’re successfully exerting monopoly pressure on some people.

I use iMessage for conversations where everyone is on iPhones and Signal for mixed groups. iMessage isn’t the only reason I use Apple products, but it is a reason.

They don’t need to have 100% market share to be behaving monopolistically. And whether you feel the impact of the monopoly is also irrelevant.

I second this. Op might be just 1 or 2 redesigns away from virality. It's a genuinely interesting and novel idea and I can see this becoming a thing, maybe with a sprinkling of a little magic fairy dust or luck.

> Considering both iPhones and Macs represent minority positions in their respective markets in the US

A 54% market share, compared to Google’s 46% market share doesn’t seem like a minority to me. It’s not a large majority, but it’s definitely not a minority market share in the US. And just for context, the Justice department filed an Antitrust suit against Google in 2020 for controlling 80% of the market share in search[1].

I wouldn't call either useless, but which to use depends on the exact scenario. There's basically three options for coughs with support behind them, the problem is most professionals neglect distinguishing when to use which and just prescribe willy-nilly:

For suppression of 'ticklish' coughing (i.e. where any form of very minor irritant in the air will set off a coughing fit): Dextromethorphan, which is an antitussive (and which is psychoactive and depending on genetics WILL make you trip even at therapeutic non-abuse doses)

For 'sticky' coughs where the mucus refuses to depart: Ambroxol, which functions as a Mucolytic, i.e. it makes the mucus/phlegm thinner by causing partial breakdown of them, i.e. it fucks with phlegm composition which in turn fucks with the phlegm's rheological parameters

For 'dry' coughs, where there isn't enough mucus: Guaifenesin, which functions as an expectorant (albeit as explained below, "Secretolytic" seems like the better term by far), ramping up mucus production/bronchial secretions/hydration. (avoid confabulating with Guanfacine.)

And then of course for ticklish coughs/antitussive action, there's two other, much better solutions, but ones with it's own issues: Codeine & Dihydrocodeine. Works wonders — as long as your CYP2D6 doesn't function in an atypical manner, in which case it'll either not work at all or get you way too high.

Part of the problem is that a lot of the literature uses the word "expectorant" in the same way I used it above, but really, the more appropriate word to describe guaifenesin is "Secretolytic".

Obligatory disclaimer:

this comment isn't medical advice, I'm neither a medical professional nor a medical paraprofessional, in case of concerns, contact/consult an appropriate medical professional and/or appropriate medical paraprofessional.

I wish I knew why no combination of Guaifenesin & Ambroxol seems to exist on the market, but there probably exists SOME reason.

If you go one step further you end up at a much better solution.

Since large centralized power generators are much more efficient, yet still put out prodigious waste heat, why not use that waste heat to heat homes?

You get the benefits of an electric heat pump while recovering a large portion of the plant's waste heat.

District heating plus heat pumps is probably the most efficient you can make a combustion plant.

Once we get off of fossil fuels, we can recover waste heat from industrial processes, or convert the district heating system to be purely electric or concentrated solar or something.
It's AI related?

Good point. The challenge I see with that is:

> the information sought is relevant and material to a legitimate law enforcement inquiry

Your average PharmTech at CVS isn't assessing the legitimacy of the inquiry or its relevancy, but is instead blindly acquiescing (or being told to do so).

The other part that is a problem is the use of "and":

> and de-identified information

There's no de-identified information in "Show me all the prescriptions you filled for Mr XYZ."

But what there is is enough plausible deniability for the corporations to say they were following their interpretation of the law.
Agreed that the ram size is problematic. If there was a gen 3 m.2 slot I'd probably be ok living off zram. But this just seems too confined to be useful, in spite of having cores that should be better.

> I firmly believe that if the large tech behemoths were broken down into smaller focused companies, they would create much more value for everyone

In the case of Amazon, Google - possibly. Their solutions generally tend to be disjointed anyway, so if they were operated by different companies i doubt much would change.

In the case of Apple this would absolutely result in worse products - the defining characteristic is the vertical integration and cohesive ecosystem driven largely by hardware revenues.

If you prefer to use subsidised products where the cost is offset by advertising, where there’s less single-vendor functionality and a larger focus on third parties: that already exists, there are dozens and dozens of Android-based phone brands, there are Windows and Linux PCs, there is also ChromeOS on tablets.
In terms of reduction of usage of resources, using an already-existing computer is considered better than manufacturing new hardware. OECD suggests[0] embracing a circular economy to reduce production of waste and consumption of resources. Notably, in the province I reside, 98% of electricity is provided by renewable resources[1]. The electrical grid is already there, and the computer I already have is also already there. Generally speaking, no more resource extraction or pollution of the planet is necessary for me to continue on my computing activities with my existing hardware.

doesNotUnderstand:/forwardInvocation: isn't different? That is not just syntactical. How would you even begin to orient your objects without like functionality?

I agree that if you squint really hard they look the same. But if we say "they are all the same", what are you trying to communicate when you say OOP? Virtually all programming languages we use have objects. You may as well drop the OO and just use "programming". It would communicate the same intent.

It’s a great argument because a monopoly is a very clearly defined thing, not whatever you want it to be.
The search in info is way better than the search in man. Check out info info for the docs.

Ctrl-S starts an I-search, instead of /. You then start typing what you want to search for. The results immediately appear; you don’t have to press enter. This will search across the docs for an entire project—with man, you may have to dig around with apropos first to find what you are looking for.

You can then hit Ctrl-S again to go to the next search occurrence, hit enter to stay where you are and exit the search, or Ctrl-G to exit the search and go back to where you started.

Yes, it is absurd. It's a great strawman.

A more realistic option would be to say that Apple has to sell access to its infrastructure via the API its own app uses, at a cost allowing some reasonable profit; this would conveniently align with other court decisions regarding anti-competitive practices by incumbent providers with strong market positions.
I'm disappointed to hear about this misguided policy. It's one thing to support the right of extremists to express their opinions. It's quite another to give them access to an important publishing platform and lend legitimacy to their cause.
And might be wrong.

The browser keeps track of he top 5 categories from this list of these 629 topics. https://github.com/patcg-individual-drafts/topics/blob/main/...

Other than when it returns a random topic, the browser only reveals a topic to a site if that site has observed the user on a site with that topic before. For an epoch a site can only get at most 1 topic. The browser will return topics for up to the last 3 epochs (the site only gets data for the epochs it has called the API in)

Most people use computers to Get Stuff Done(tm).

Windows RT can't run Win32 and ARM can't run x86, at least not without significant caveats; people can't use Windows computers like that to Get Stuff Done(tm).

M* Apple on the other hand can run most x86 era MacOS software; people who were using Intel Macs to Get Stuff Done(tm) can use newer M* Apple Macs to Get Stuff Done(tm).

Computers are tools, their sole purpose is to enable their users to Get Stuff Done(tm). It is the natural order of the universe that Windows ARM computers, unable to Get Stuff Done(tm), completely and properly failed to capture market share.

Using a quickly googled value of 12.3 million calories per acre of corn, and an “average” daily caloric intake of 2000, and an assumed price of $10 per meal, 3x per day, instead of selling the corn for 160k, he could have eaten for 3 million days (which I will truncate to a more realistic 50 years) saving himself 500k in food costs over the course of his life.

I was doing PT tech consulting (relative of mine) and they used a 16-bit Foxpro application (accounting + inventory) for far longer than they should have. (Upgrade would have been 5 figures, and it was working great, so why change?) As it turns out, the software shipped with a DOS ui as well, that supported 100% of the functions + features that the GUI Windows version supported. .... which made it easy to run under SSH/Linux/Dosemu, which was used a few times when a bug in the original Foxpro runtime prevented printing on any version of Windows based on the NT4 kernel ....

> My hunch – both the Red Tribe and the Blue Tribe, for whatever reason, identify “America” with the Red Tribe.
