C++ has much more bigger inertia. It is like the "default" for all the areas where it is being used. So when learning a language people would rather go to C++ first and then to Rust, if they are really planning to work in correspo

I wonder how much of it goes into "pension funds". As long as Mercedes (and any other old car companies) as not cutting their staff and pipelines, they will never be competitive with Tesla or Chinese companies. They have a lot of

No, but with big market share comes big responsibility. Video streaming is extremely unprofitable sure, but in its care it tries to leverage its market share with Chrome browser to benefit. And you are not allowed to do that when your marke

It also does not help that Google is often seen together with various left leaning initiatives - like Google is one of the big proponents. Plus there was some backlash on Twitter over Youtube hiding Joe Rogan video and so on.

Twitter algorithmic feeds are designed to promote engagement even if you don'like something. It is important because more engagement with various content, means more clicks, more reactions and so on. You get something you like, you get

All these advantages are only due to the fact that it has less users and thus it is cheaper to run it and less need to monetize it.

I am not talking about the legacy. The legacy will live one - I mean technically the world has changed post 2016 and it has not gone back since then. And it won't. With 2024 it might change the landscape more.

Harris has zero charisma. She cannot talk without creepy laugh or jokes that nobody laughs at, she can't work with crowds. She was in primaries some time ago and gain less than 10% votes.

yeah. I think they have did some refactoring in OS though, to make it more modular. Not sure what are their long term plans for Windows. They probably would have benefitted from some handheld UI for sure.

The problem with Amazon is not their closeness to Anthropic, but more of the fact their moat is not big enough to integrate AI in a way MSFT can. Even their Azure services somehow feels natural with AI support. I don't know if Satya pr
