Surprised to see Adobe missing. Photoshop has just as much a dominant position as most of the others ones listed. Also they need to add a line for AI.

I boycott or avoid every company in your diagram. Hence my views differ from the mainstream media and hoi poloi.

Comment on MyMan The Bot by Fast Eddie

Bots are over rated. Every hedge fund or financial corporation has a securities trading bot. Hedge funds are closing left and right because they cannot match the performance of index funds. Bots are not capable of the sublime. What we need is ridiculously simple bots that can lay brick, finish concrete, repair automobiles, pick up the trash, stock shelves, pick lettuce…. Soon as we do Labor and Democrats would grant them the right to vote, assign a minimum wage, and tax them.

I read one book by Buckminster Fuller. Apparently he dictated the book onto a voice recording and paid to have it typed verbatim. His run on style does not detract from the impressive content. I understand why Harvard bored him.

Comment on The US Gender Pay Gap by Kevin Aylward

Kevin Aylward — Thu, 14 Mar 2024 14:02:44 +0000

Usual totally bogus twaddle. To compare the alleged pay gap between the sexes, one has to compare the pay for the same jobs. Feware getting different pay for the same jobs. Woman are employed in jobs that are less skilled and therefore pay less. For example woman are underrepresented in engineering. The statistics in this article are based simply on total pay, irrespective of what the job is. It’s based on disingenuously pushing an agenda.

Comment on Silicon Box to build chiplet plant in Italy by Mike Bryant

In reply to Fast Eddie. Do you realise how much heat optical interconnect generates ? Fine for long distance gigabit connections but no use for the thousands of connections a chiplet needs.
