1. Why has this founder chosen this business?
2. How committed is this founder?
3. What are this founder’s chances of succeeding in this business—and in life?
4. What does winning look like in terms of revenue and my return?
Saying you believe something in spite of the data, isn't how arguments work. You have the burden. I await your next deflection.
You won't think so when you turn 40.
> you wouldn't have tech mega corps like Facebook and Google making billions of dollars
They made billions of dollars. Now at scale, anything is billions of dollars. That's again, razor thin margins.
You're making a claim in face of evidence. YOU back it up.

I don't understand this sentiment. It's not helpful to know the history at all. At best, it romanticize the choices made. Stating the goals would be an intro that shows some level of analysis.
> It was for ease of changes.
Wat? Not solely. CSS had many goals, the primary reason was a separate styling language that could be universally interpreted and expanded, without involving HTML (or any other standard like ECMA). HTML versions were already bogged down in semantic squabbles.
It's a definitive and publicized example of behavior that other people (eg Me) have been familiar with for decades. SA is a dangerous and chaotic absolute monarchy that is equatable to Saddam's Iraq. This changes people's minds about dealing with SA. This gives the western public an opportunity to do a casual review of current news and possibly dig into history, for further confirmation.
I don't see how. The court isn't filled with superhumans. They are people and people are fallible, even in groups (eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Bell_scandal). If it happens to dismantle a governing body, that's how accountability is supposed to work. That is a possibility.
That's doesn't invalidate wrongdoing. I am neither R nor D due to their long standing hipocrisy as organizations.
The whole idea was for some people.
> There is no good idea associated with Voter ID laws in the United States
I disagree. Voting accountability is treated seriously in every state I've resided.
That really has nothing to do with the issue of totalitarianism. Some people are treated equal, some people are eliminated, so you get more equality? I think China is just as immoral as SA.
So can knives.
> When Alabama enacted voter ID, it simultaneously shut down DMV offices in counties with the most potential black voters.
Most of these problems are now mitigated by years of not needing ID. Now we have voter registration mailouts and such. Don't just throw away a good idea because of past abuse. We strive to be better. Giving up is regressive.
Given the amount of criminality and conviction, I see this as a good thing. Treating the political elites as something more than citizens, is already a corruption of the state body.
e.g. What we actually know about Software Development and why we know it's true.
Seriously, what was the point of your comment?
Who discovers it or if you can prove it was abused, is not relevant to the security issue.
ie A false equivalence.
Me selling flags to Russians is doing business. That has nothing to do with the issue of what constitutes or can be construed as Treason which is certain kinds of business that ally against national interests.
They have money and influence. They have a stated and record of trying to harm the USA and the US allies. It's a threat and wouldn't take long to become a nuclear power (see pakistan).
What's hard to understand about the last 75 years? The speed of technology transfer is less than a change in Iranian regime.
Not implying Pakistan is a threat, SMH
That's just one function. That's not the entirety of what the brain (and body) does.
> If you consider pattern matching unintelligent,
What do you think pattern matching IS? Round ball round hole does not require intelligence. It requires physics. The convoluted rube goldberg meat machine what we use to do it, doesn't change what it is. Making the choice of will and approximations, are more signs of intelligence, imo.
Authority? More like responsibility, aka implementation. I happen to believe that congress born agencies should never have been created. Anything Congress creates becomes a self-sustaining, unkillable organization, because...Congress is glacial in deciding anything.
Any government born agency (regardless of branch) has authority. Which is more efficient and reliable, Congressional Agencies or Cabinet Bureaus? The threat that a Bureau can be dissolved at any time is important to their operation.
That's a belief.
> the new focus on privacy
I see a trend here.
