It would be interesting to see usage of other _xiv's and other pre-print publishers!

I think this establishes a great point that we have an ever changing society with growing demands, where we now need to consider much more than just reading words. Internet literacy is a huge barrier, and it’s great to see it getting measured and accounted for as countries continue to adapt education to the changing times.
This is definitely a good argument for encouraging competition and increased price transparency.
In a related vein, it's exciting that Apple is investing in Apple Maps as a competitor to Google Maps, especially since Google bought out Waze a few years ago.
I made it 20 minutes before having to look up a Bloch sphere (happens when you start experiments with 'S' and 'Z' blocks which add phase shifts). I don't directly use a lot of IBM products, and I had a great experience with this one!
Competition is definitely a problem, especially in rural areas, and I'm excited for the increased competition from offerings like Starlink in rural areas and 5G internet in cities. Starlink is especially great in that it adds an option in many countries, not just the US.
