> Google has a near-monopoly on search. What does that mean? I use kagi, ddg etc. Nobody is forcing anyone to use Google. Woudl you say HackerNews has a monopoly on tech chatter? Sure seems dominant, but nobody is forcing anyone to use H

I see where you are coming from but the argument would be stronger is Google Chrome refused to open illegal streaming sites etc. AFAIK, there's no such restriction. (I dont agree to this but ...) using your argument of " If you us

Two things can be true at the same time. 1. It is clear that many people, including the person in the video, has strong identities tied to a certain skill that they have spent years honing and perfecting. The sudden loss of agency and democ

There's an entire field of math phds working on figuring out accidental and malicious clicks. Fun fact, your touch screen (and even your keyboard) uses a rudimentary version of such algorithm to figure out whether you tapped/click

> They gave AI access to terrorists and criminals as much as they did to independent researchers. That's an odd hill to die own. Lots of despicable people use iPhones. Does that Apple is somehow complicit?

Isnt that updated by some national database and google just pulls that data? Apparently Apple Maps will also get it in a few days, since they get the data from them as well.

Isnt that part of the deal of uploading to YouTube? YouTube promises distribution and in return they show ads to make up for lost {storage,bandwidth} etc. I'm surprised that YouTube doesnt ask $100 per year and then also show ads. Like

Why do these creators use YouTube then? Why cant they host it on s3 and the have you directly compensate? Surely the creator is getting some value from YouTube and YT expects to be compensated for that?

A bit hyperbolic dont you think? Even if you disagree with the politics, you'd agree that updating a random restaurant's opening hours is different from updating a national landmark. For instance, I checked Nepal area and Google M

This sounds a bit odd to me. When I'm hungry, I dont run to McDonald's and expect to be fed for free . I whip out my card, pay for the items, patiently wait for the food to be arrive and then eat. You could very well argue that w

Hypothetically if they were to go the court the proof would be ok Graphene to say what they did violated the law. Judge would be like 'Mr Counsel, where does it say that what Google did violated the law'
