Is it not possible that writing books about a subject and giving interviews about that same subject come from a sincerely held concern?

Is the implication that is a high salary for a tech executive?

The UX is surprisingly bad, and has been for a long time.

It’s safe to ignore him indefinitely

Several decades of experience suggests micropayments ain’t it.

The summits are about making money not news.

They thought they’d get you to put an Alexa in your home (perhaps at a loss) but that it would bring you into the ecosystem and you’d buy more stuff. But most people just use it for the 1 or 2 things they bought it for like alarm clock and

No most websites are not phishing

Yet 97% of websites will not steal your money.

And how's that been going so far?

So do “50cc” mopeds.

an ebike doesn't even require a driver license

You ignored the part about nobody using it in the first place. There’s nothing to verify.

"Taking an admissions slot from an Asian student" is a very opinionated way to describe the situation and strictly speaking it isn't true.

Are you conflating liberal and libertarian? MLK, of course, coined the phrase "content of character not color of skin" and he was very much in favor of affirmative action.
