I think you don't understand the meaning of the black bar if "commercial value" is one of the metrics.
- vkou 3y agoSteve Jobs received one - by which criteria, if not commercial (to other people) value? It certainly wasn't for the warmth of his personality, his impeccable business ethics, or for his libre open-source contributions.
- mdp2021 3y ago> by which criteria Historic value.
- vkou 3y agoAnd which category of important-enough-to-be-historic contributions has he made?
- skyyler 3y agoTake a moment to reflect on what you're doing right now. You're turning a celebration of life for a _very_ recently departed figure into a pissing contest. Extremely distasteful.
- vkou 3y agoI think you're misunderstanding the direction and intent of this subthread. You're right that talking about Jobs is off-topic, though.
- mdp2021 3y ago«Contributions», debatable; «value», debatable; "impact", cannot be ignored. It is probably best if we stick to Doug Lenat and postpone the meta to a more neutral occasion: Doug Lenat has just died.
