Yeah but his "true self" isn't exactly something 99.99% of people enjoy. He's a robotic tool. Looks to me like he signed up for a "how to appear more human 101" course and now gesticulates with his hands non-stop.
Didn't you just answer your own question? The market for $5k+ televisions is pretty small, especially when they're unlikely to be better on paper than what you'd get for half the price from another brand.
For me, having come from robotics/digital imaging/signal processing and now doing web dev, I feel exactly this. My old problems were far more technical, but I could always form a complete mental model of what was happening.
Now I feel like I have little hope. I'm under the foot of 117 leaky abstractions which all have their own opinion as to how things should work. It's near impossible to peek too deeply inside, so I just try shit until it works and then attempt to figure out why.
Some of my happier moments are when I get to add to one of our older sites that use server side generated pages. Even then though... not the same as debugging an errant pixel.
I think you're missing the point. I'm not saying FB can track you via their disabled app. I'm saying many don't trust Samsung or FB when they say they cannot. The majority of people don't even come close to understanding how data gets bought and sold or how impactful it can be in the long term.
Agreed, but from what I've been reading/hearing, the primary concern is "can FB track me even if the app is disabled?" These are non-technical people who don't trust FB. It's a valid question.
Except it's a bad analogy. Rails is not the next step up from systems level programming, it's a completely different (and honestly far less difficult) domain. Most of those rails devs could never be good at the hard stuff.
So... Just lie? This isn't going anywhere, the platform isn't supported. I'm pretty sure the powers that be remembered that Linux was a thing when they made that decision.
