A lot of what he writes has nothing to do with the facts but rather adds to the general "evil theme".

Somehow he was able to paint having "analyticity" as a bad thing: "Schmidt’s dour appearance concealed a machinelike analyticity".

And acquisitions are conveniently renamed into takeovers: "In 2004, after taking over Keyhole"

And then this. I don't even:

"The hidden hand of the market will never work without a hidden fist. McDonald’s cannot flourish without McDonnell Douglas, the designer of the F-15. And the hidden fist that keeps the world safe for Silicon Valley’s technologies to flourish is called the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps."

Continuity/Handoff requires Bluetooth LE, so a bunch of older devices would not support it.

I don't think it's possible, people on different platforms issue different queries partially due to marketing and insiticts on what works and what doesn't.

Also commands that already sort of work lead to more queries issues lead to better quality.

Seems that it was banned because of this commit about suicide https://github.com/amdf/objidlib/commit/e9c31e97c0ca7863516f...

Based on the previous experience if github reacts in any way this will probably get resolved sometime in the future.

You're thinking about Big O notation, which is not the case here
Clearly a mistake in my opinion, fortunately point is still valid regardless.

a + 1.16h + i/6 < a + 1.25h + i/4
