[Zero to One](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zero-One-Notes-Startups-Future/dp/0...) book by Peter Thiel. One thing I took from this book is that Google Micrsoft, Meta are all monopolies.
There is no competition.
Look even in [Russia](https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/all/russian-feder...), [China](https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/all/china) they all use thsi stuff.

Would love to see a similar study on fluoride in modern civilizations.
I like how the article ends which gives the perspective of someone with facts trying to convince the hypothesizing of conspiracy theorists' explanations.
> Whitsitt and Campanella were right to assume they’d be under attack from their community for confirming the existence of the 24-hour sun. For days, Whitsitt has been arguing on social media[0] with conspiracy theorists who are accusing him of faking the entire trip.
They are trolling the flerfs.
1. He literally had a green screen on when he was initially broadcasting.
2. He was caught vaping to try and mimic vapor breath.
3. His shadows were all over the place like doubled in length in 3 feet walk.
4. The times were wrong the direction of the sun was wrong.
5. They were saying the place is empty when there are a load of people down there recently.
6. They are walking on the ground not leaving footprints in the snow.
7. They have studio lights all around the place where they walk.
8. When recording the 24hr sun a tractor literally teleports into view. Thye also got the overlay wrong.
9. He could not pick up snow on the ground where he was talking.
10 The sun literally changed shape in the sky.
11. They kept to this tiny area with no exploration whatever the audience asked they would not do.
I don't know whether they went down there but it sure felt like a staged stuidio production.

I honestly would prefer to talk to an AI customized to my personalty. I get erratic can change my mind and have get crazy ideas like the earth being flat etc. So if you had an AI you can just be yourself always without any judgement or repercussions. Even if that changes from day to day.
- Anora: really good movie. Bit rude at the start but leaves you thinking about it a long time after. Also ended up arguing a lot with my whife what it was actually about.
- The Return: not bad a bit long but a good rendition.
- Day of the Jackal: This was good series.
I think you replied to the wrong post.

Why does Apple get to get it app store and its browser and its phones and OS etc.
What about Microsoft with its OS's and apps.

Good video on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ3mYtQTbC4
Languages like Python and Java come around, and old-school C engineers grouse that the kids these days don’t really understand how things work, because they’re not managing memory.
Modern web-dev comes around and now the old Java hands are annoyed that these new kids are just slamming NPM packages together and polyfills everywhere and no one understands Real Software Design.
I actually sort of agree with the old C hands to some extent. I think people don’t understand how a lot of things actually work. And it also doesn’t really seem to matter 95% of the time.
All future programmers will be using it.
For the programmers that don't want to use it. I think there will be literally billions of lines of unbelievably bad code generated by these 1-100 generation Ai's and junior programmers that need to be corrected and fixed.
