I ain't hating but "commoditizing your complement" is just pushing others out and restricting access with extra steps. Admittedly, the bones they'll throw us in the process do look like they'll be cool, tho.

As a consumer, you want everything to be a commodity (i.e. and abundance of choice). This means you'll have more options at every price point.

That never actually happens though, what ends up happening is that people realize it's better to be a literal cartel and MONOPOLY!

And you get the worst of all deals, see Shrinkflation

My point is we shouldn't trust businesses to be moral, and I don't. I'm just angry at the NYSE

I might get some hate for this, but Google seems to be doing some really cool things, like in fintech as well as this silicon project. Google Finance is one of the only players I've seen with an interest of opening things up when so much of the industry is about pushing others out and restricting access. Like for example the CME deal, to open source live, low latency stock market data. Bloomberg might let you rent it…

Wow, how things have changed. I've been here since back when Google could do no wrong. Now they're a poster child for shady surveillance capitalism.

Same with Elon Musk. I remember him being compared to a comic book hero. Now he's an alt-right racist (if you are a leftist) or an evil globalist technocrat (if you are a rightist).

True. But I'm also guessing that in 5 years I'll be more frustrated at the level of control they're exercising with thing they're currently building next to it. More so than I am with the market they're commoditising today.

If you’re Ukrainian he’s a National hero.

> Like for example the CME deal, to open source live, low latency stock market data. Bloomberg might let you rent it for 25k a year if you're lucky. Google? Yeah just hook into the websocket bro, it's free.

Cursory search turned up nothing for me. Can you point me in the direction where I can find free (or low cost) market data that you mentioned?
