In the next protest mods should allow content like porn as another way of protest.

Live in domestic help is extremely common all across India. They probably think they did nothing wrong as it wouldn’t have raised any eyebrows in India.

That would have been a mature thing to do.

You missed the entire point. Typical Apple fanboy.

The iphone isn’t at all important to humanity and that’s why it should be regulated. Especially when something so unimportant gets such a large market dominance.

Anyone should be able to buy anything and expect things to be interoperable.

I like the airpods. They don’t work properly on android. Why?

They could easily license out the tech and other companies will pay billions for it. and Apple will get their ROI.

Intel was forced to license x86.

Face it. Apple’s behavior is visibly monopolistic. It wouldn’t have landed on DOJ’s desk if there were no good reason.

All fine and dandy. Kudos to Apple for the innovation! But then they decided to keep it strictly inside Apple.

That’s not how communication works. Imagine if Bell kept the telephone to themselves… Oh wait… They tried… Got sued for it… Company broke up and the whole world got interoperable telephone system that is alive to this day.

Innovation is great, capitalizing on innovation is also great. But eventually it needs to reach everyone and the answer cannot be “then everyone should buy Apple”.

Imagine if DARPA kept the Internet as “Americans only”

It’s a hosting ban on US servers and app stores. People already downloaded the app will continue to be able to use it.

That is if Bytedance doesn’t sell.

You can use a bridge network or the host network.

In bridge network it is like a NAT host. With its own firewall settings.

In host network mode, it will just open the port it needs.

Eventually maybe. But it will be super tough to get to the leading edge, because by the the time they reach where the rest of the world currently is, the rest of the world will go a couple more steps ahead.

What companies like ASML have achieved are half a century of R&D that even if china just copy, paying no attention to IP, there are so many things to perfect. Things like the specialized mirrors and optics that are needed.

China can probably one day get to where the rest are currently in a few years, but to both manufacture and keep per unit costs down at the same time is not an easy hurdle to cross.

That’s why we need to hit peak oil fast. It will be a definitive fuck you to oil.
