I'm 100% certain that SpaceX is happy for more outside work that actually pays them instead of changing numbers internally.

So, send some random noise to somebody you don't like and claim that it's encrypted with some foreign algorithm?

For most Finns (bar the self-employed, business owners, and the very rich) filing taxes is like 15 minutes per year when you want to add some deductions the tax man wouldn't already know about.

It's literally 0 minutes, if you don't have deductions.

Eh, I'll buy it from a discount sale in two to four years if they've fixed all the bugs.

Don't do this, though, I need you to buy it fresh so that new games continue to be made.

Yeah, that's messed up. Instead one should take the amount that the manager manages to improve over the baseline.

Which might be impossible to measure.

When the glass is at 50% capacity, one is making an observation of the state of affairs.

When one says that it is "half full" or "half empty" one is already making it into a statement of belief or opinion that reflects one's inner workings and beliefs.

Whether the glass is half full or half empty is not a fact, it's an opinion. The glass being, say, 45.67% from full capacity is a fact. The glass being emptied right now at 55 millilitres per second or being filled at 45 millilitres per second is a fact.

It might be a fact that two people can have greatly different kinds of opinions from the same facts, but they both still deserve to know the facts.

Whether you consider the glass to be half full or half empty is not a fact. It's an opinion.
