How many makers of car stereos control 90% of the car stereo market, and use that market share to force makers of cars to put their stereos in every car they manufacture? Oh, none? Well then your analogy fucking sucks and you should stop

I think it's rather that there is another totally reasonable and historically accurate assumption that catastrophic environmental costs need not factor into the projection.

Because everyone has a slightly different take on what rights who should have. House divided against itself and all that. It's not so much respect for freedom, or lack of it, but rather no respect for fellow citizens.

You need to have some balance though. It's good to do things to make yourself more attractive to women, but you also need to evaluate - quickly - whether a woman finds you attractive. If you think she doesn't, if you suspect she doesn't, ev

>And so founders who want to have the best chances at "winning" have to create an aura of momentum, of inevitable success, around themselves and their companies. That's perfectly understandable too. Well, we can't all be Bill Fucking Ng

And yet their tomatoes taste like shit. I disagree.

How about just stop growing shitty tomatoes? Fuck. The tomatoes I eat taste great, because I don't buy tomatoes grown by ignorant assholes who don't understand how plants work.

I took the statement to indicate a lack of passion in programming in general rather than a particular domain. Re-reading I can see the intent. But, thanks for the downvotes anyway.

I don't know why you have to shit on developers outside the games industry as you've done here (perhaps it wasn't intentional?). I love games, and I have plenty of passion both for them and for programming in general. But the games industry

Okay okay, we get it, you're an autocrat. You love power and the powerful. You wrap your lips around the cock of the state. Nice work.

This article is nonsense full of blatant half-truths, e.g. "a respected corporation such as Oracle" Give me a break.

Well, you can at least count me as someone who didn't buy Diablo 3 for absolutely no other reason than the ruckus that followed its release - due entirely to their bullshit DRM. And I didn't pirate it, either. I've never really got into a

You're limiting the definition of democracy to 100% pure direct democracy i.e. literal mob rule. I struggle to imagine what such a government would even look like (on a large scale, at least). I tend to think of a republic as opposed to a p

Also, there's a billion dollars and then there is a billion dollars. A billion dollars of oil is a valuable commodity. A billion dollars of start-up stock is not necessarily such a great thing unless you can find someone willing to buy all

I've never understood why some people insist that republic and democracy are mutually exclusive terms. Can you define your terms for me? To me, what you're saying isn't different from saying "no, it's not feudalism, because there's a monarc

So what, then, do you think the purpose of technological advancement is ? Quality of life and wages have more-or-less flat-lined while productivity is way, way up. We are producing heaps more wealth per person than at any point in history,

I heard a story, perhaps apocryphal, that the national government commissioned a study a few years back to investigate ways to curb this practice. The committee was disbanded after a minor scandal when it was discovered that they were makin

Valve doesn't have any business muscling developers into this or that platform. It's wrong if Microsoft does it, and it's wrong if Valve does it. Let the better platform win, in an open and competitive way. (I'm confident Linux would win ou

We have mostly solved the energy crisis, in the sense that we have the technical means to supply ourselves with power we can use, and in a sustainable way. Implementing that solution will require rather sweeping political and economic uph
