Sorry for getting all political on this but we need to stop associating success only with financial wealth.
He is successful at amassing billions of dollars. From my point of view, his success in the grand scheme of things is below zero. His actions have degraded quality of life and hurt future generations.
Well if we didn't have an economy that makes us replace everything every year (an exaggeration but you get the point), we wouldn't care about the expensiveness.
We already have good enough technology that a phone should last us 10 years at least without having issues with the performance. The only problem is having replaceable batteries.
We need to move back towards things that last and backwards compatibility. Then it would make sense to pay $1000 or even $2000 on a phone, since you know it works perfectly and it'll last you 10-20 years.
I've seen this in an older version of NFS on PC. I can't remember which one it was (I think Underground?). The way they always caught up with me when they were behind was insane.
I actually tried a bit to look back and see it happen beacuse, I was wondering, do they just teleport or actually drive at like 800km/h.
I dunno, I'd see it as the opposite. The bigger the scale the more cost effective it is to have more redundancy. I can't remember the last time Google search wasn't working or saw news about it being down.
The fact that github keeps going down while being a huge business shows they still need to work on having more redundancy, something that's expected of big services like theirs.
I was thinking the same thing. We need a permission system for websites. Preferably useable on a per-domain basis so I can disable those APIs on adnetworks' domains.
Or maybe they did start with the engineers. Maybe they already have some pretty cool technologies but they realised they don't know how to sell it all so they're looking for business people (yes, yes, very wishful thinking).
I've seen that before and I am so disappointed in the slow motion part. I wish I could see those bullets going one behind the other in a perfect 8 pattern.
