My understanding is all kids moved to Instagram / Snapchat as soon as parents started using Facebook too, and now parents are on Instagram too so I expect kids are already using something else.

Can people use or license Apple's version of DRM instead?

> Why was anti-trust pursued against Microsoft then?

One example among the many things the court found they did was to tell OEMs that they wouldn't license Windows to them if they _also_ included Netscape preinstalled in their computers.

The stated purpose, from internal emails, was to prevent Java from becoming the de-facto API for writing applications, which at the time was win32. This was a gigantic barrier of entry that protected Windows' monopoly and they did all those shady things to keep it raised.

No need to rejoin the lines, as HN will combine them as you say. Only need to add a new line before each bullet point.

Who's "we"?

That, and also insensitive to builds you might have done of other versions of the source code, etc. I.e. it's not affected by "files left behind" that would require you to do a clean build and lose incrementality.

Does it produce hermetic builds?

> every link they every clicked on, on every web site. [...] No content from google was transmitted back to Bing. Just the next site the users went to.

Your theory cannot explain how Bing associated that "next site" with the specific search term the user had entered in Google.

If you had clicked a link on HackerNews, it wouldn't have shown up in Bing under some random search phrase. It's obvious that Microsoft parsed the search query out of the google.com URL, and the only reason why you'd do that is to mine what results were being presented for each search query.

> the whole container-push has been essentially people trying to achieve what the JVM already gave you (isolation, cross platform, etc etc)

Google did containers in Borg many years ago, and many of its servers are written in Java.

Chromium (and so Chrome too) uses lambdas in its Java parts.

Kotlin though. Everything you said, but a joy to write instead of a chore.

> using opt-in data about what Bing Toolbar users click on

lol specifically, what Google search results Bing Toolbar users click on and what query they had entered in Google to get those results.

Last LG I bought came with some vanilla non-Chrome browser preinstalled. I don't know if from AOSP or from LG themselves. Has that changed in the last years? If not, how does this affect companies like LG?

Whatever is a car nanny?

No, you really don't. The following isn't true:

> But in order to arbitrage this, you have to be willing to pay women and men differently.

A very simple way to arbitrage it without discriminating is to set your wages somewhere between what others pay men and women. Women will flock to you, as you pay better than elsewhere, while men will tend to leave to the discriminating jobs. You pay everyone the same, but the result is your cost in wages is lower than your competitors'.

The size of the network also increases the number of their paying consumers, so I don't think that's a good excuse for them. Two Californias side by side would have half the mean time between fires, but also twice the budget to prevent them better.

Not being able to enforce a specific aspect of copyright law led in the 80's to pretty much all countries having to reform their laws.

When home VCRs became commonplace, creating an automatic copy of a broadcast was still illegal. Some German high court ruled that people's right to privacy in their own homes trumped law enforcement's interest in enforcing copyright, so the law was unenforceable in those cases. Hence was born the exemption for "copies for private use", and the related "tax" applied to sales of VCRs (and later on, blank CDs and DVDs) that was used to pay off author associations.

In over 6 years working in this industry, in projects with anywhere from dozens of users to millions of users, not a single bug I have encountered was caused by a "hidden allocation" causing the process to go OOM. Not one instance.

One of the two examples he cited in his introduction, the Android one, wasn't even caused by an unhandled OOM error. Android by design will kill unused processes if they're occupying memory that the foreground process needs.

If we want software without bugs, removing hidden allocations in languages is far down in the priority list.

It's funny that you mention Opus Dei, which in modern times was the name and conviction adopted by another Spanish congregation that's, on the political spectrum, on the opposite extreme to where most Jesuits are.

What benefit you think is underappreciated? It's a subjective point of view, but my experience is the contrary: that of Lisp-family languages being hyped to exhaustion.

> a tablet that you can't take with you

What do you mean?

It's not only a matter of telling "this was a whisper", but also of actually recognizing what in the world did you say in that whisper, no?

It's a non-issue with a Google phone (a Pixel) in any case, as you have unlimited storage of photos in their original quality.

7 years with an account, and a few before just lurking. This is the first time I hear that, so they must not be many, or not very vocal.

I have yet to find a single person that doesn't believe that Apple revolutionized the smartphone industry with the iPhone.

nit, but it affected me: grammar

When you buy a Google phone you get unlimited backup storage in Google Photos. You never think again about things like that.

I must be lucky too, as I got the same result from both.

Isn't this on purpose?

I think the graph example of the article, instantiated using an adjacency matrix, shows nicely a need for generics that has nothing to do with operators.
