Ah, I see you’re familiar with my company

Pretty easily: that’s the whole point of the concept of “reputation”

I sure hope so. Pretty hard to sell cars if you don’t even know where they are

You use Comcast because you have 0 other choices

I use Comcast because I have 1 choice

We are not the same

I use Comcast because I have one choice and it’s Comcast

I use it as a working Google and to make goofy pictures of ideas I have/tattoos I want

Replacing BMI with BMI2 is fine, but it’s doesn’t change the fact that most Americans are overweight or obese, and the tiny, tiny sliver of people who have a high BMI from weightlifting are insignificant relative to the ~70% that are just plain fat

Isn’t most of Linux open source?

Plus that whole thing where record companies got caught price-fixing CDs. And the other thing where they got caught installing rootkits from CDs

Legally, yes. In practical terms, spending $1000 to fight a lawsuit and win $50 isn’t realistic, and I’d be willing to bet T-Mobile forces arbitration anyway

You don’t hear about it because the two major parties both oppose them and have nothing to argue about

I’m going wait for the follow up: showing how CEOs don’t prioritize human welfare over profits

Just gonna throw this idea out there:

What if they hired a bunch of engineers who graduated from sketchy, unaccredited colleges in foreign countries and paid them half as much much?

You mean taking pictures of people at polling locations?

30 years ago, I had to spend 40 hours a week working. Decades later with all the software improvements, I have to work 40 hours a week

Yes. Much of the technological improvement I’ve seen in the last 20 years isn’t real meaningful. Smartphones don’t make my life better. A 60” flat screen 4k TV doesn’t make movies any better. My 2019 Jeep gets worse gas mileage than my 1978 Gremlin. Plane rides are worse. Ads cover everything I look at. We no longer own music we like to listen to

Was any of it good? Sure, but most of it is just garbage to generate more consumption

“Not blowing up later” would be part of the problem being solved

Engineering for future requirements almost always turn out to be a net loss. You don’t build a distillation column to process 8000T of benzene if you only need to process 40T

“Unregulated capitalism” sounds like the Soviet Union to you?

I didn’t answer your question because I don’t give a fuck about you, and also I wasn’t the person you responded to. Your lack attention to detail explains why you’re so confused

Sounds like a problem for later

Flippancy aside: the fundamental rule in all engineering is solving the problem you have, not the problem you might have later

No, this is Patrick
