Unfortunately you are still trolling, and I hope you are aware enough to see it. I'm not going to do all the work for you, because I'm tired and certainly tired of teaching critical thinking to adults, but take a look at _excess_

Right. It was all OK back then (it really wasn't), so we should just shrug it off. I mean, Von Braun was only a Nazi because he wanted to play with rockets. We need to take all this into account. I in no way, wish to ever deny someone&

Great points! To add, also take into account that there were almost no state school CS programs until not that long ago. Many of the graybeards I learned from along the way had English and Music degrees, they autodidact-ed the rest through

The first partner he had in the biz was frakkin' Woz. Woz is a titanic genius engineer, 99% of the people who've ever even viewed HN would naturally draft behind him (especially back then). From there, SJ saw that he could have mo

Whoaaaaaaa... I'm not one to downplay how bad the divisiveness in US politics is, but if you look a bit closer you'll see the EXACT same dumbsh*t happening in DE and CA, perhaps with less obviousness. Take a closer look at what is

Because they are humans that are not legal slaves. Happy employees don't quit, produce more and contribute to their community. In what way is denying all of that furthering anyone's agenda except the craven individual driving it?

Vladdy has been in near isolation during COVID and looks unhinged. Did this on his own, no oligarchs. Now oligarchs are trapped, no assets, cut-off from most of their funds. Gambled, this time he lost it all.
