Pepsi gets ads for "considering" space ads. Pepsi gets ads for "withdrawing" space ads. Pepsi gets several news cycles for cheap. Don't fall for the obviously false narrative.
MS and Google pretend to care about human rights here, but then in China...
You are 100% correct, except for MS. FTFA:
Microsoft had also declined a deal to install facial recognition on cameras blanketing the capital city of an unnamed country that the nonprofit Freedom House had deemed not free..
I mean, Cuba, Iran and NK aren't even options due to sanctions, so that pretty much means China.
Are you seriously suggesting I should trust a communications app made by the government?
I mean we're on the Internet (by DARPA), using HTTPS (built on crypto standards from the NIST), using ASCII (what Unicode?) which took off when it was mandated by LBJ.
That's still a relationship failure. I've had contracts where we never referenced them, and those have been some of my best working relationships. Because the only time to reference them is when someone is unhappy.
It sounds like "being there for your family in the evening" is important to you. Great! Not being there with (and for) them makes you unhappy. But other people will want to work late one day, and come in late the next. It's possible that this mismatch of values makes you a bad fit for a specific job, and not a teamplayer in that sense (since you need to coordinate with other people working different schedules.)
I call BS on the subway analogy. For one, the BART seemed fine when I was there. But, more importantly, a newer city will always have a nicer subway system. Things age. The real test will have to be averaged over the subway's lifetime or at any year in it's lifetime. So, it's possible Shanghai will maintain it's subway better, it's possible it won't. But of course it's better at any given calendar year.
I mean, it's a feature that makes me prefer Apple. Is it a gimmick, or do they recognize there are people willing to pay to not be tracked? Is' there qany feature taht is not a gimmick in your eyes?
And maybe Aple changes in the future, but that seems less likely. They make tons of money now, why change? Although Microsoft was makign tons of money pre-Windows 10, so...
Not really. If I build a factory out of smelly shit, and it gets bulldozed, and I have to start again, I may end up with a better factory. But I didn't spend that time building a cool different factory. And I lost money while the factory didn't exist.
It may be better overall, but it's not better for my company
Go is already nine years old. At what point does the one-year lifespan limit start?
I didn't say one-year lifespan. I said one year left. Google products tend to have a 5-10 year lifespan.
Dart released in 2011, had the tooling ceased being maintained in 2015, and was removed from Chrome just recently.
Go was released in 2012, has several major changes being discussed, and is likely to fracture soon into Go 1 and Go 2 (ala Python 2 and Python 3). Google will no doubt continue to support exactly one of these (probably Go 2), and everyone will have to migrate because the tools are not going to be maintained (any more than Dart's were).
Normally, when I consider "protecting my information from eavesdropping", the eavesdroppers I'm concerned about are Google (or Facebook, or Amazon, or similar companies.)
Never use any Google services, unless you are prototyping something that doesn't have a lifespan of more than a year. They deprecate APIs and whole services at random. I am shocked when I heard a friend say their start-up uses Go. Go! And tried to sell me how great it was. Which may be true, but it probably only has a year left. Hard to build on that rock-solid base..
Microsoft, whatever else they do, has a strategy of supporting things for years, with public EOLs and new iterations to migrate to. It's extremely developer friendly. Although, they used to be just interested in taking my money, and have since moved to that whole DaaS, ad-based spyware. Hopefully they abandon that soon. It's not like they don't have the cash.
Because youâ(TM)re not paying for everything you have access to, youâ(TM)re paying your share of what you have access to. Which means that youâ(TM)ve been watching niche tv subsidized by people who just need 150 baseball games a week.
Thatâ(TM)s what will hurt. Debundling means higher budget sci-fi is more expensive to watch.
Why do they need people to buy their products services? Why would they even interact outside their circle? They'll have their in-home fab make whatever they want, and own gardens tended by robo-farmers
Lower resale value? The ideal behind car manufactures (and video game manufacturers) is zero resale dollars. Difference in video game manufacturers are taking active steps to drive it to zero, and car manufacturers aren't... yet.
And of course car companies make bank on replacement parts. That's a significant percentage of their income... I think in the 20% range, but I don't recall. It was double digits.
And, you left out the followon effects. Dealers love repairs, because they charge to get it fixed. Which means a second revenue stream (or third, if you acknowledge financing). Which means they will take a lower initial income, so they will compromise more on initial price (less margin for them) and your car will seem cheaper.
Moreover, the way that quote was phrased, they implied some people were making more than a million dollars a month, and then quit their job to make videos full time. Yes, if I can make videos part time for a million a month, I will start making double the videos if I can double my takehome. After all, I have maybe 5 years at best before I'm yesterday's news.
I never get crypto-fascist garbage recommendations. Maybe Google has built a profile on you that includes a desire to (hate) watch them? Or someone in your household's desire (since it groups by IP address as well.)
YouTube sends a 1099 (independent contractor, W2 is employees). They hired an accountant.
And, there is no "at this point". When he made that first $100 on Twitch it was technically a job which required paying payroll tax. (Obviously, the question there is enforcement).
There's no reason to assume that it was the the novelty that made them depressed. It has more to do with not having to worry about starving to death or losing your living space.
That's ridiculous. Google can afford to make zero dollars a year while spending billions deploying AAA titles to try to own the market. As for per-month-cost,my guess is they'll try to hit $50/$60 a month... which people will pay.

Sony was behind Betamax, the VCR format that wouldn't allow porn. Totally in character for them.
The city is old, but the subway is new.
I mean we're on the Internet (by DARPA), using HTTPS (built on crypto standards from the NIST), using ASCII (what Unicode?) which took off when it was mandated by LBJ.
Either of those two work, but there are other options. Like being part of a union.
That's still a relationship failure. I've had contracts where we never referenced them, and those have been some of my best working relationships. Because the only time to reference them is when someone is unhappy.

Google's not being forced. They're profiting from selling your location.

Of course you can, you'll just make less money. Why couldn't you?
Oh, you don't understand how businesses set prices.
