First, I am not your dude.
Second, please, read the comment before you respond. I addressed it.
$70M is a drop in the ocean when you are in tens of billions of dollars especially when it is your work tool that lets you move fast between locations and save couple of hours on each trip.

- i_like_apis 4y agoChiming I here. “Dude …” is a dumb thing to say in a debate. Please take take that over to Reddit.
- twixfel 4y agoAlso chiming in here, it's not a big deal at all to call someone "dude", because this isn't a formal debate, it's just a web forum.
- i_like_apis 4y ago… the steady decline of HN over the decades …
- twixfel 4y agoThe person complaining about saying "dude" already lowered the tone of the drasticaly debate by saying, apparently without a hint of irony, "stop thinking like a poor person." So I agree there's a lot of low quality, revolting posts here but the use "dude" doesn't really scratch the surface.
- oblio 4y ago> “Dude …” is a dumb thing to say in a debate. Is it insulting?
- i_like_apis 4y agoAs a part of a retort in an argument, it’s similar to rolling one’s eyes. It’s also not substantive.
- jacquesm 4y agoNo, but it is annoying and when in a debate it tries to distract and/or claim some kind of familiarity or higher ground.
- oblio 4y agoThe comment I replied to had already lost any sort of higher ground at: > stop thinking like a poor person.
- frob 4y agoSure, but he's not your buddy, guy.
