   See my other post. The author has a TedX talk and papers with citations and co-authors, etc. While that wouldn't exclude a cloned profile, it certainly doesn't make him not real.

   That's a rather strong statement, but incorrect in both result and formulation. How is mutation and selection entail it's not optimization? Your motivating the lack of a goal for a process by describing it's composition. It

   The reality is simply a mirror of the same arguments on OPs side. Just like it's not the people it's the government and their policies, there, it's not the people, but the government and the policies here. I remember having c

    thank you. So indeed it's, as corrrectly described, schemaless i.e. schema agnostic, which falls into "schema responsibility being passed to user/dev" (I should have picked up what it means when writing that). So it&#x27

    Exactly. The whole argument that software is a moat is at best a temporary illusion. The supply chain is the moat, software is not.

    I wasn't using em dash, but appreciate looking it what seems pedantry. It's about semantics after all and having the right syntax is key. So I realized I'd like to be more thorough and use em dashes, en dashes and hyphens cor
