Not really. The car was a flop from almost the beginning.
People preferred to buy a better 2nd hand car which was at the same price as the Nano.
> Why go after Google first when Apple is by far the bigger offender?
Because Apple's marketshare is not much.You are allowed to do anti-competitive things unless you are a monopoly.
Being a monopoly doesn't break anti-trust laws by itself. Doing anti-competitive doesn't break anti-trust laws by itself. It's when both happen together is when it's a problem.
The laws on prostitution in Sweden make it illegal to buy sex, but not to sell the use of one's own body for such services. Procuring and operating a brothel remain illegal.
- Agora's whitepaper says that you vote remotely from your phone. Is that the only mechanism for voting? Can the voting be done at a poll booth? If so, is there a voting machine which transfers the vote to the blockchain? What prevents the fraud from happening before the vote is transferred to the blockchain?
- Voting remotely means that secret ballot is not guaranteed. If someone threatens or bribes you to vote for a particular party/candidate & the voting is done at a booth, then they will never know who you actually voted for. However if voting is possible remotely, then this secret ballot is not guaranteed - this is the same for vote by phone or vote by mail or any such thing. The person threatening or bribing you can be by your side when you vote.
If I were a conman, I would hang around crowdfunding sites to harvest suckers.
When a bank or venture capitalists funds a product or company, they make money out of it if the product is successful - they take a risk with an upside. In a crowded funded product, the funders are fools who don't partake in the success of the product in the off chance that the product is successful.

I own a Lumia 525 for the last 3 years. It came with Windows 8 & then it got a 8.1 upgrade. Over the last year, MS has dropped all support for it. Outlook is available on Android (even the older ones) but not available on Windows 8.1
My workplace integrated some kind of external 2FA with Office365 & it works on Android, iOS & Windows 10 but doesn't work on my Lumia - because it requires Outlook. The default mail app which comes with Windows 8.1 doesn't support this.
So though I love the phone & the OS, never again will I buy a MS OS Phone. My next phone is most likely a Nokia or a Moto.
Chrome is at a position which IE6 used to be. They don't care.
They first killed NPAPI plugs so that Java Applets don't work. So we moved to JNLP. Then they have a bug by which JNLP cannot be autolaunched in Chrome like it can in IE & Firefox. So if it's a weblaunched JNLP, users have to save the JNLP file & then run it which is troublesome for a lot of lay users. This bug exists for 4-5 years & there are multiple bug ids for it. But it never get fixed. Then there is another bug by which when you save the JNLP files after 99 JNLP files - no more can be saved & or run.
Chrome doesn't care to fix these bugs because what do they lose if they don't fix it.
For the last 16 years, I have been using Nokia phones except for 1 HTC phone in between. My current phone is a Lumia. I bought it mainly because it's a Nokia. If Nokia makes phones I again, my next phone will also be a Nokia - I don't care what software it runs.

How is this better than Traditional PKI?
MIT could issue diplomas signed by their PKI Certificate and employers can verify it without involving MIT.
How exactly does blockchain help here?
In India, this was done on purpose in 2016.

It took more than 3 months before ATMs started working like normal. Lots of people died in lines outside banks.
Not only that - it may not even be actually complete - https://www.indiatoday.in/indi...

Not if the coercion starts before postal voting starts.
