My field is propped up by various governments. My paycheck is a combination of sales, bailouts, and loan forgiveness. I also make lots of money. Should I be in favor of cronyism? I actually take the other side despite getting paid by them.

I'm going to name drop things I don't know about and might be irrelevant Data/network/transport/session layer can be detected through TCP? So you need to fudge a few digits somehow at your router.

I'm a believer that these kind of issues should be solved at the consumers end. I haven't built a web browser, but I built a bot and it's somewhat doable to avoid getting tracked. A browser could feed a fake user agent and fo

Ahh that was it. But yep that's how we bypassed it. I think I bought 6 songs before I found a better alternative. Reminds me how I had 1 iphone (6) and would never get one again.

I agree, but if you are a fortune 500 company, you don't quite get to say "no". You need to provide it to users anyway.

I wonder if this is the end goal. If they are regulated, they can expect permanent life at the expense of taxpayers subsidizing the company. Be extremely anti consumer and anti developer, advertise to make up for the negative behavior and l

>Apple uses a lot of customer hostile behaviors nowadays Nowadays? Apple has been doing anti-consumer behavior for multiple decades. I remember only allowing purchased itunes music being exported in their specific format. You'd have

>SpaceX isn't going to go public, possibly because it's a very long-term endeavor, and his goal is to go to Mars, not make huge profits. I think it's due to the nature of being a military contractor. Being public means tha

This is probably true for all billion dollar tech companies. Imagine how much dirt Facebook, Apple and Microsoft has.

Meh, I have that in person charisma. I get a bit panicky online because you can't see someone's face. I don't know if I'm talking too much or if they are bored. Online I'm quick/short. That said, I enjoy being

My biggest shock with Civ was funding out that I was a military dictator at heart. I started with hope of a cultural victory. I gave away technology and trade at a disadvantage to keep aggressive allies on my side. Then genghis khan attacks

It's impossible to know since Apple users are extremely subjective. It's better to just avoid them IMO. It's well documented the anti-consumer policies done by Apple. It's easy to see them poor money into massive adverti
