We also need to #standardize Li #cells as well. Right now, it's as if every 1920s radio manufacturer that ever was had their own different, proprietary, and incompatible A, B, and C batteries, and we still had to live with that, buying batteries only from the manufacturer of the device.

This is perfectly feasible. We have #cylindrical cell standards, now we just have to define them for #prismatic #pouch cells. Make battery #sellers #compete on #quality and #price.

I suggest #legislation that forbids, in advance, any company controlling 10% or more of the #market in #Canada in any category from merging with or acquiring another company - in *any* field.

Big #companies buy out smaller companies to eliminate competition and drive up #prices, while expanding their market share.

Big companies merge with each other to stop having to #compete with each other.

If you're big enough to have 10% of the national market in something, you can compete for the rest.

Sifan Hassan may be the most tenacious athlete in the world. She won the #LondonMarathon in 2:18 and change, even though she had to stop twice on the course to stretch. It's one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. #Marathon #Athletics #Compete #Win

Houston, we have a #LogicalFallacy!

“#Albertsons and #Kroger officials have said the $25 billion deal will help them better #compete with large companies like #Walmart and #Amazon, and will help boost access to fresh foods, along with other benefits.”

#CircularReasoning occurs when the proposition is supported by the premise.

Thus, to paraphrase the Kroger lawyers:

“We need to kill the #competition to better compete with our competitors who have already #killed the competition.”

#BigLaw being #BigStupid.

So what kind of #FLOSS will compete with #YouTube?

I chose my words, I didn't say #defeat cause really now...

#Compete is the word here that matters.

Kraken loss to Carolina did hurt but at least they came back from 0-3 to make it a 2-3 game. #compete

@drlynnchiu I questioned #ChatGPT about "Do #insects #compete". (You might think that was easy, but it was the first question in my Biology Finals General paper, #ChatGPT would have failed with too short an answer); "Differences in #Catholic & #Protestant theology in interpretation of the #ImmaculateConception" (since it was yesterday, and I do not follow a denomination to have been taught).

Having an #enemy has a purpose:

- who do we make #peace with if we have no enemy?
- who drives us to #compete harder?
- who makes us #cooperate more often?
- who is the foil that keeps us sharp if not those who oppose us?
- who else reveals if our assumptions, #strategies & #tactics are valid?

Valuing & respecting their role doesnt stop you from fighting them, it's a key to our victory!

Work towards someTHING, not against someONE

#History shows yesterday's enemy makes tomorrow's best #friend

I don't know.. maybe #society continue somehow in a "child" #style. We as #persons, we can only #discriminate #information. If I don't like someone, better not #compete with them or even feed my Internal need to #attack them. You know when you need to control yourself? Well, we keep controling the self every single day, every single moment. I don't really can about your sexual choice, and what ever you do with your body is up to you.

@seasharp
Our connection to the video above isnot working atm, but this discussion is interesting.

We feel its important to make a distinction between #capitalism, and #corporatism.

#Capitalism is, we all #compete but pay taxes to provide #PublicGoods and a #GoodGovt.

#Corporatism is large companies not competing but buying up everything, including the #land. They're helped by a sicophantic, lobotomised govt that…1/2
