And that's an incredibly valid concern, but at the same time, when you look at the other baskets and they're falling apart and have holes in the bottom, it's easy to see why people put those eggs where they do.
- ocdtrekkie 12y agoI trust the inevitability that Google's basket will eventually have the same fate. And it will be much much worse than anything we have seen so far.
- spacemanmatt 12y agoPerhaps, but show me a better basket today.
- ocdtrekkie 12y agoAgain. Multiple baskets will always be smarter than a single basket with everything in it.
- fpgeek 12y agoAlways? Really? So a bunch open, unprotected baskets in plain view are better than a single closed, locked and hidden basket? I'm glad you're not in charge of my security. As others have said, the single-basket concern is perfectly valid. The reason you're getting pushback because you have a single-minded focus on that one concern and vehemently deny the possibility that there might be tradeoffs. That comes across as an irrational attachment to a single issue, even if what you're really trying to say is that your assessment that enough other baskets have hit a good-enough baseline that diversification is a good strategy. The latter is something you could have a productive conversation about. As for the former, you can insist that multiple baskets are the only thing that matter until you're blue in the face, but I doubt you will convince anyone.
