You forgot the most important ones regarding security: Outlook and Active Directory.

So why give up this leverage?

Well, I've always assumed that Russia has been playing games with NS1 to pressurize Germany. The alternative is what? Russia has had problems fulfilling their contract due to technical issues caused by sanctions and decided that it's cheaper to destroy their infrastructure than to pay any penalties? I wonder if the relevant numbers available.

To my knowledge, Russia had no problem fulfilling the contract. What's more, they don't have the infrastructure to deliver the gas to anywhere else and have to burn it off.

What if the model orthogonalizes the training set and retains information of a few representative images to a high degree while discarding almost all information of other images that can be interpolated from the base?

And cars need them just as much. Practically everyone is going over the speed limit. Use geofencing to restrict the speed in towns.

No mention of BYD? They're one of the largest producers of electric vehicles in China.

Actually people in Germany were forced to either fight at the front or to work as part of the war effort. Others were enslaved. In Germany that system was called Kriegssozialismus, which translates to war socialism - even if though it's not at all what is called socialism otherwise. You could argue that Anonymous Coward is technically correct on up to five out of six points. However, the way most of the terms are used is misleading and paints an entirely wrong picture. AC is repeating what can be called half-truths at best.

The Wehrmacht soldiers were on Pervitin (meth) and they certainly didn't respect national borders. Hitler also viewed smoking as decadent and became a vegetarian near the end of his life. But pro-workers rights and a socialist? No. Absolutely not. If the NSDAP actually had any socialist roots, it lost them quickly enough and just kept the name.

The passthrough of the Pico 4 isn't stereoscopic while the one on the Quest Pro is and apparently it features a depth sensor as well. But I agree, the Pico 4 is the more tempting offer.

Cool. You just solved the opioid crisis.

Since games became tailored to exploit addictive behavior and many people ruined their lives by spending thousands of dollars per month on those games.

So small developers from the US pay a 15% fee and small developers from outside the US pay a 30% fee? Did I get this right?

For Nato, a serious cyberattack could trigger Article 5 of our founding treaty.

Let me play the devils advocate for a moment:

What you're selling as a "creator" are basically 3D meshes with maybe a bit of logic. There are websites where you can sell these and get a better split, but you're unlikely to make much money that way. Because the value to the users in not in those models alone. The value to the users is in being able to use these items in a shared virtual environment. Meta is providing the necessary software stack, it's providing the servers, paying for traffic and selling the required VR hardware at cost.

They're are doing much more than your typical app store or game store, so a larger share of the profits is not unreasonable. A better comparison for Horizon would be Roblox, which takes an effective 80% from "creator" sales.
