So you say that no way a company will prioritise short term profits at the expense of a small long term risk ? I'd agree that risk is not affected only if the plane can take off, navigate, land and park on the runway entirely on its ow

One reason why I think reading great books multiple times is important is that it allows us to gain new insights and perspectives on the text each time we read it. Our understanding of a book can change as we grow and experience new things

Do you mean users install apps that are buggy, and this is somehow Androids fault? At the same time, if Android wouldn't allow VoIP apps, it would be somehow at fault again ?

The question is who is left holding the bag? If the stakeholders get paid, they are happy. The new owner is debt free, and have an ownership, so that's good. It seems to me that it may go two ways: either the lenders will be left holdi

Buy the dip? I hope that mining will become prohibitively expensive due to rising energy prices when the BTC will fall.

First, one should not apply statistics retroactively until you hit large numbers. Second, I am talking about design goals, not track records. You don't evaluate the safety of a large system by running it a lot of times and see what hap
