Mostly lack of competition and anti-trust regulation. Who would use a worse service when a healthy alternative exists?

You need to work on your reading comprehension. I am not the parent.

You just pull the loose string end to relieve the knot? The loop just pulls out.

Your accusatory ignorance is not mine to relieve.

To what end? I can think of 10 reasons immediately off the top of my head, but it’s far easier to fill existing open source projects with agent contributors for most of them.

Do you really need someone to rhyme out why state actors do what they do?

His final stream is illuminating if you can still find it. He speaks directly about Kramnik who he grew up idolizing right before his friend had to pull him away for erratic behavior. His comments during that stream strongly point to a suicide.

Kramnik never let off the accelerator.

He basically pushed a player going through a crisis to suicide with his baseless accusations. Proceeded to make public derogatory remarks right after they passed while the family barely started grieving. This is a slap on the wrist.

Conveniently it cost around $200 every 5-7 years to replace all 4.

That’s just a line. More like, “We can collect our own data”, or “We can lock them in and collect subscription fees.”

1. The contractors move to where the money is. They will migrate to specialized work that will not benefit those who can’t afford “competitive” prices.

2. You can borrow 1T dollars in cash, effectively maxing out what the physical world will allow you to spend it on.

1T dollars allows you to corner the best contractors, maybe most of them, for your own projects while houses remain unbuilt.

It’s not the lifestyle that makes some people unhappy, it’s the knowledge that there is suffering around the world they can do near nothing to stop.

Not everyone frames their happiness solely on conditions within their own sphere. Knowledge comes with responsibility.

You’re still free to walk to your destination instead of driving, it would just be a lot of time friction.

Funny how reducing the friction with technology eventually increased the friction of the older transportation methods.

I have vivid dreams and smells from a surgery where the visions and feeling of them poking me are incredibly intense. The question is whether it’s a memory or a manifestation of fear. I rarely dream (every few years), but this vivid dream comes through on occasion.

And giving those same people more power makes it more difficult to fix the core problems.

So you audit the database and the access. Just because it exists doesn’t mean it has be available.
