Over the summer there were hundreds of thousands of people and they weren’t allowed close to any government buildings. Now there’s a few hundred and they just let them into the capital buildings with what seems like little resistance?
What you see now is the result of previous poor restorations. The Colosseum had become overgrown with plants and was like a large public garden. It was unique. For many of the plants it was the only place you could find them in Western Europe. It is believed that the seeds from many of the plants were transplanted through the excrement of the animals from the games.
Arguing what things are based on their dictionary definition is often a mistake. The people that compile the dictionary are not experts in every field. They optimize for brevity, and their sources are not exhaustive. They are not trying to be encyclopedic and all encompassing.
Note, have have worked with people assembling a major dictionary. They are just regualr people with regular foibles.
Except it isn’t about quoting. Many on the right claim that Orwell, Camus, etc were in-fact right wing and hated the left because they disagreed with extremist Stalinists and such.
It is much like religious people claiming Einstein was religious.
It seems to be a common tactic to rebrand people as believing in the opposite of what they did.
All of the Apple products that have achieved broader success have been derided by ‘Alpha Geeks.’ The original candy coloured iMacs, iPods, iPhones, iPads, were all attacked by geeks.
If Microsoft is less successful in the home market now, it is because Windows is seen by many consumers as too techy, and too difficult.
A part time carpenter is still a carpenter. Evans claim wasn’t that Murdoch is an amateur. His claim was that Murdoch was categorically not involved with VC.
In Europe, Canada, Australia, etc everyone has access. Why doesn’t access drive up their cost? Clearly access isn’t what is driving up the costs in the USA.
Breaking election laws in an attempt to influence an elections outcome is still breaking election laws whatever the outcome. It doesn’t have to be entirely their doing.
Apple isn’t selling to third parties, but I bet Google wants to. Google must be putting pressure on Qualcomm, and maybe Nvidia, to make something competitive. If they try, within a few years I’m sure someone can.
Imagine 3 years from now there are a bunch of Chromebooks selling at Chromebook prices, but offering intel performance. That would start to hurt Microsoft.
I too assume touch based Macs are coming at some point. But I expect them to live alongside conventional laptops for as long as people continue to buy them. Whenever I’ve tried different kind of convertibles they’ve felt like compromises. The tablet and the laptop seem like the best version of each.
Techno-feudalism is exactly what cyberpunk novels were describing. They were dystopias. They were warnings about letting corporations control everything.
I think it is notable the new mini’s colour is light silver, rather than the previous dark ‘pro’ silver. Presumably there will be another model a year from now.
Microsoft at the time owned 90 percent of the entire computer market.
The only thing Apple has a monopoly on is things Apple sells. If it is deemed that you can have a monopoly of a subset of a market, ask yourself how this will be applied to other businesses in the future. Does a mall have a legal (not colloquial) monopoly on stores in the mall?
Edit:
If you make a game that has a store in it, do you have to let others sell thing in your game’s store. You have a monopoly on things sold in your game. Your game is a platform.
There is a coup going on right now. How do you not understand what is happening?
