We've been to the moon plenty. At some point one has to ask "why do we keep visiting a big desert that's difficult to get to?" It doesn't create any value for any one. WhatsApp does.

I assure you I don't need to rationalise. I'm under no delusion that I'm a terrific person and do the assorted immoral things I do with full understanding and acceptance. Demand Media has strong brands. They aren't anony

Their crap is what it appears to be though. If they weren't delivering on their clickbaity titles then people would soon learn. It's not like they're anonymous publishers, sites like ehow and livestrong are strong brands. The

I think the idea of "polluting search results" requires too much of a subjective concept of what good content is to say whether producing one kind or not is unethical. They aren't producing what they are because people aren&#

Sure, if you've got a concept of morality based on primarily being motivated to help others rather than pursuing self interest. If that's the case though then the vast majority of people would fall under the category and make it a

You disagree with what? You wanted a way to stop scalpers and he gave it to you. Artists might prefer to reward luck over purchasing power but so what? In a situation where multiple people have competing interests, I hardly think it's

>The Broadway hit “Hamilton” is making millions. It could be making millions more if not for scalpers snapping up seats and hawking them for $2,000 a piece or more. That makes absolutely no sense.

I'm not sure there's a need for the author to be trying to encourage the audience to do anything. A central theme of the story is building Le Roux up to seem as big/talented/accomplished as possible. Things like the fact

They turned a high volume illicit prescription drug seller case in to multiple arrests of hitmen. We also don't know what, if any, deal he has been offered. That seems like it was probably a great score for the DOJ. Keep in mind, a lot

While that's entirely possible I don't think one can conclude it with certainty from his post. You say he'd be missing the programming side if he went the other direction but the only reason he listed for choosing programming
