Thanks for this answer - this is what I was looking for. I think you make a great point that the regulator needs to constantly adapt to the changing market, and this may be the case with Big Tech if it becomes more heavily regulated it seem

I often find myself responding with "interesting" when I haven't yet formulated an opinion - to me it's an indication that I'll have to get back to you on how I feel about it. I haven't found another synonym to

I second this - I'm 3 semesters into the online MS in CS program at GATech and it's been a huge level up for me. I highly recommend the investment IF you have the time - it is a large time commitment.

Side note, the 4th edition is exactly the same as the 5th, so it's much cheaper to get that on Amazon if anyone's looking to get it. Great book that explains the major concepts concisely.
