javascript but more for philosophical reasons. when projects use typescript they always get focused on writing more scripts rather than optimizing HTML/CSS. Too many times I've seen overly complex scripts trying to solve what a properly arranged div and css tag have already solved.

Google doesn't force you to use its products.
if you use the Internet as in open a web page you are absolutely being forced to use Google's products. You just don't realize it because they are not tangible things you physically use, they're API calls to make the websites you're using work.
Other people choose to use them which results in you using them.
because so many people use chrome, they are able to define web standards that feed back into their ad serving platform. What this means is that even if you use Firefox or Safari you may not be able to access websites if those browsers do not support web standards that support Google's main product, ad serving.
yes apple is bad but i don't think many people grasp how deep Google's roots go. everyone using the Internet has a profile in Google somewhere without really knowing or agreeing to it.
As much as i hate Apple, you can choose to not use Apple products. if you access any website there's a huge chance you're interacting with Google. captcha, ads/tracking, sign in auth, search.
they are currently pushing Web standards that would drive business to their ad platforms and could deny access to web sites if your browser doesn't support their standard. why can they push these standards? because most Internet access is done through Chrome and web sites want users to access their site.
imo its a bit different as they are using physical resources and then artificially limiting access. a better comparison would be getting a motherboard and having to pay extra to use some of the usb ports.
I think eventually there should be laws against wasting physical resources for monetary gain. if they want two models, make it such that they either don't meet manufacturing requirements and are hard disabled (similar to cpu yield) or produce one with and one without.
context matters, a white congress person is using a phrase in Congress that historically was used in Congress to deny people's rights. these politicians want to "make America great again" they want to undo civil rights.
A lot of the investments by big companies were made in 2018-2019 with low near 0% interest. now a lot of those loans are coming due which will impact their total assets. they want workers in the office to keep Corp real estate in demand so their investments don't tank. most likely will result in massive layoffs or bail outs as they will try to protect the shareholders for eternal growth.

are there actual datasets to look at and info regarding how data was collected? all the sources on that page are just domain links but don't appear to point to the data making the claims?
4.7 accidents per million miles doesn't mean much if the cars are limited to specific roads or include test tracks that give them an advantage. the degree of variance in different environments would also need to be measured such as weather effects, road conditions and traffic patterns.
I'm all for autonomous driving, but its not like companies don't fudge numbers all the time for their benefit.
is this similar to Firefox containers? dunno why mozzila makes it as a plugin and hasn't bundled it in yet as a standard feature, literally can't live without it.
