Microsoft's anti-competitive business practices caused wars, famine, and poverty in Africa? That's news to me. So yeah, you do have the burden of proof if you're going to defend statements to that effect.
Also, it's not safe to assume that everyone has read the same things you've read, and knows the same things you do. You have to be prepared to present your evidence during every conversation. Those are table stakes.
- sametmax 9y agoI copy paste the same links, over, and over. There's always more like you. As I said, I can't win against this PR. It's sad.
- dsacco 9y ago> I copy paste the same links, over, and over. There's always more like you. That’s both dismissive and intellectually insulting. Please tell me how this is “PR” and not honest altruism: 1. The Gates Foundation’s philanthropy is partly responsible for a 25% reduction in malaria diagnoses from 2005 onwards: https://www.gatesfoundation.org/What-We-Do/Global-Health/Malaria https://www.gatesfoundation.org/What-We-Do/Global-Health/Mal... 2. Their efforts have dramatically reduced polio, nearly to the point of eradicating it entirely: https://www.gatesfoundation.org/What-We-Do/Global-Development/Polio https://www.gatesfoundation.org/What-We-Do/Global-Developmen... Let’s start with those two. I gave you links directly from the foundation’s website. Please, by all means, enlighten us.
