imdoor··on There are more streaming choices than ever – why are prices going up?
The situation was very similar in US in the past with film studios owning their own movie theaters and showing their movies only there [1]. Then movie producers got broken off of movie distributors. I would like the same happen to streaming platforms. Until then, i can't see any meaningful competition happening in this space.

imdoor··on New two-stroke engine design could help keep internal combustion around longer
The theoretical efficiency gain appears to be greater than the stated 14%. The article cites a video [1] which in turn cites 49% vs 63% maximum theoretical thermal efficiency for a traditional engine and for the Entry Ignition engine, respectively. That makes it a 14 percentage point increase which is 29% increase in efficiency.
