Fuck monopolies, but the entire premise of a link tax completely breaks the internet.

"": + anything in spotlight.

It crashes springboard and reloads in about half a second.

ML has plenty of potential value as a supplement to a doctor/medical professional's judgement.

LLMs do not.

I know this is a crazy ask, but could we maybe have a presidential candidate not openly telling us he's committing fraud while he's on the campaign trail?

It's less bad for sure. And I can understand, theoretically, the value of "that one think I saw that one time". I've definitely spent way longer than I'd want looking for some random reference I'd seen in the past, and I'm in the process of trying to catalogue all the references in my past nonfiction reading after the fact, and it's definitely a lot of work.

But man, other users on your PC could trivially see everything you did on your system unless you used the dumpster fire that's edge in private browsing mode, and the people on the project thought that was OK. There's no way people with that level of lack of awareness managed to adapt the project to not be a sieve.

Who thought they were abandoning it?

I doubt they secured it particularly well either, because the nature of proper security is building it from the ground up with security as a core principle, but it was always coming back.

They delayed because "oh shit, people noticed we didn't even bother with security theater" and to let the backlash die down. They still consider it a major selling point.

Double parking should be an automatic tow even if half the lot is empty.

This has nothing to do with an app.

But even ignoring that and pretending that that's some necessary feature, taking $10 out of the service price would pay for the actual costs for a hundred years, easy. It should be literally illegal to charge a subscription for that.

There is no "elsewhere" that is remotely viable. That's the entire point.

The only rational option is YouTube because there is no path to succeeding anywhere else. Trying any other platform after being kicked off YouTube cannot be rational because it cannot succeed.

There hasn't been anything resembling a hype cycle for quantum computing.

There is no justification for "server and infrastructure" for a fucking car. No part of a car should require a single penny of server costs over the entire lifespan.

Yes, it absolutely is that dominant.

And no, there's no possibility whatsoever that linking to content in the comments will result in any traffic whatsoever, even if you didn't get banned immediately. That's not how people use the internet.

Network effect is a massive problem and platforms who leverage network effect need to be held to different standards.
