The people who create for the sake of creativity are not doing it to be flashy or attract anyone or anything. The internet had a groundswell of people who want to make money, so here we are

That's the thing. I'm not replying to you specifically. I don't think you're going to change. Chances are most people like you don't.

I'm replying to educate all of the onlookers. What this guy did sucks and here's why. And this is what you do about it.

Asking people to think by riding the line of just asking a question is pretty lame. If you want people to think, don't bury that. The method you employ is the same disingenuous tactic to defend the other side.

What if the Russians did the same? They didn't and it's not on the table. They've already made up a war and prolonged for multiple years in an attempt to kill off and reclaim Ukraine

"Just asking a question", is a form of statement.

You can say this about any change, or innovation - vaccines, democracy, the Internet, psychology.

If you want to push it completely into a political only view, why should we not become an isolationist nation, which steals but never contributes back?

Endowments are ear marked. You don't always get a blank cheque. It may have obligations tied to them.

Women in general have a fine line to walk to be successful. They either come off bitchy, or docile, or underhanded. We rarely say these things about men. It's a both sides of it cause this - women are held to a higher standard, and we feed into it

No we didn't

Depends on the perception. If people see the company as weird or wasteful, it can hurt the company. Think of all the negative press companies get. It's not rational, but it exists and companies fight to minimize those sort of things.

Breaking those types of leases and selling those types of buildings off or not trivial. They will need to figure out a way to ease out of the market, but until then, this is the way they rationalize it

Except if you have prosthetics. Then you're man and machine

I've been using Google brand phones since the g1. The Nexus 4 and the pixel 7 were the worst build qualities. The screen on the seven fell off three times and then finally died. I've switched to a Samsung.

Don't insult melted ice cream

Say you make a new invention. Are you going to give it a name, or are you going to use a description each time?

What about if you have kids. Are you going to name your kid a long winded description of their lineage, or something short?

It's descriptive. Do you want to use paragraphs to name a group of similar people, or a word? " The people born between x and y exhibiting these behaviors and traits, or have been imprinted by these traits, though it is not as strict rule," or "generation x."

And yes, we are also allowed to critique people based off of these things. It's how life works. It's how we grow and change.

I'm likely older than you and there's always been generational name calling and judging.

Is pip the real bottle neck in software development? How many dependencies are you managing that require this speed?

If supporting the art, supports the artist, who actively supports a bad cause, I do not. JKR and anything that furthers the anti-trans movement can go screw. If someone co-opts something, then it's trickier, but I expect the original artist to help when they can and support them directly, like Marvel's Punisher.

Jeff bezos owns 9.5%, then to institutions under vanguard each owned 6%. He's probably still influential-based on his prior position as CEO, but he can't force a decision that the rest of the board wants.
