Sure, whatever you want. Homunculus.

Bringing god in a discussion is such a 16th century farmer move. You surprised me. Shall we discuss the motion of the planets too? Spoiler alert: the heliocentric system is possibly made up.

Well, then I am sorry for you. You should look for people with better ideals - they are out there.

And I am not American, you little-minded homunculus. Grow up.

That’s your problem, we don’t care.

Just a small correction: In the EU and the US we are happily supporting Israel.

Volkswagen’s return to physical buttons is long overdue. Imagine causing a car accident because you’re distracted by a touchscreen, unsure if you pressed the right thing. Touchscreens became popular in cars because the market blindly follows the majority’s whims. Present the touchscreen versus button issue to most people, and they’ll choose touchscreens, misled by a lack of technical understanding. In their minds, old equals buttons, new equals touchscreen, and therefore, touchscreen must be better. They fail to see the bigger picture or care about this crucial design flaw, dismissing it as trivial.

This is just one of the many ways a market driven by majority preference results in mediocre solutions, never reaching the best possible option. And those who genuinely seek the optimal solution are left suffering the consequences, outnumbered by the masses who don’t realize the impact of their uninformed choices.

Animals, not teenagers. Throw them and their families in a hole, where they belong.

Tech journalism has always been like this.

To avoid the terrible feeling of cringe, I always tried to steer clear of this kind of article, especially when it’s written by someone who doesn’t know shit about the content but still decides to talk about it.

This is probably the most stupid and useless article I read in the last months. It feels like it was written by a 6 year old with access to DALL-E.

Your comment made me sad.

Is this a “World News”?

I partially agree. They created a monopoly because they offer the best search engine service. You can’t be accused of making a monopoly if your competition is embarrassingly bad and no one wants to use any service but yours.

What they are doing now, regardless of how they gained this monopoly, is ensuring that every cow that feeds on the grass of their field yields profitable milk.

They are still going to pursue it, just under a different name and rolling-out timeline. What they changed is only the way they are announcing it publicly.

It’s going to be “DRM for the Web, but with extra steps”.

He doesn’t identify as old.

AI writes better than that.

Okay, then let’s hypothetically say Israel forms a terrorist organization that doesn’t overlap with the Israeli government itself, would they then have the right to attack Gaza? This organization would essentially be in the same position relative to Israel as Hamas is to the Palestinians.

The way you debate reminds me of someone who might have abandoned their education prematurely. Are you going to complain to the teacher because you cannot acknowledge that your reasoning is flawed, incomplete, and biased? Your approach to this discussion is quite frankly, absurd.

Your narrative would hold if it weren’t flawed; it’s an oversimplification. Let’s take your perspective where Hamas is the bees that stung Israel, and now Israel is retaliating against the land harboring the bee nest. (I use ‘bees’ here to distinguish from my earlier wasp analogy).

If your neighbor disliked the bees as much as you and agreed the nest was a problem, then certainly, destroying it with care to avoid collateral damage would be wise. However, the situation changes if your neighbor is a beekeeper who shields the bees in his home to protect them from you. If those bees become aggressive and harm your family, naturally, you’d first request the neighbor to remove the bees. Should they refuse, you’d have every right to seek external help. But what if the authorities do little, leaving you to suffer the stings while your neighbor faces minimal consequences? Rather than passively endure this, you might feel compelled to act independently to prevent future stings and deter the beekeeper from maintaining this threat.
