  • Except a country doesnt need anything like that. What is the US afraid of? That its people will suddenly move to Zimbabwe and be happy?

    If there was a genuine benefit to having different standards than rest of the world, then just like wars, more countries would be having them

    US has had millions, if not billions of dollars of losses due to this madness and has itself tried switching to metric system.

    The fact the imperial system itself is now based on the metric system tells you enough

    Windows has its ups.

    The only problem people should have with it is that it’s on 70% of ALL desktops which is about half a billion too many.

    A fair competition should be there. Linux, Mac and Windows should have around 33% market share in an ideal world.

    You may count whatever Google is doing or Samsung/Huawei can do as separate in a dream world.




  • It had today’s tiktok crowd. It was a huge hit. The only reason it failed is because of monetisation.

    Only reason YouTube is popular. No competitor can match it in those terms.

    Saying Vine was ahead of its time is like saying Digg or MySpace was ahead of its time. No it was at the precipice and just horribly failed to manage its growth and responding to competitors
