Am I right in thinking that is not even "clean room" in the way people usually think of it, e.g. Compaq? The "clean room" aspect for that came in the way that the people writing the new implementation had no knowledge of

I totally agree that you can make the argument that people didn't buy them because they weren't sexy. Post-2008, new cars became luxury items almost exclusively. So given that, there's no reason they would catch on now unless

Oh, sorry, are we supposed to respectfully inform someone why segregation is bad when they practically paraphrase the 14 words? I thought my wordplay got my point across pretty well, frankly.

Holy projection, batman. I deliberately copied the comment verbatim and changed to an extreme example to demonstrate the problems with it. Anyways, a "no whites" sign is definitely "actual segregation" and I'm not g

It has to be disingenuous, right? These concepts aren't complicated. I wish they would just say "we want to make more money" and stop polluting open-source discourse.
