You can equip rings of +1 to dice rolls but most of us don't get weighted dice.
Playing the odds is fine in poker if your pile of chips is big enough to ride out the bad dice rolls, but this doesn't always work in life. There are too many decisions where you're forced to go all in.
I do still largely agree with you, that our decisions influence our future options. But I feel many people who just say "we make our own luck" fail to realize just how much luck played a role in their lives. Survivorship bias and all that.
Many have biographies and autobiographies. Is not hard to spot.
Are you seriously claiming that the untrained masses can start developing exploits on their devices?
What makes you believe that was their motivation?
But something still doesn't feel quite right.
What do you say to someone that is bothered though? I don't know why it effects my enjoyment so, but it does.
Correct? I suppose that depends on your definition. From a corporate perspective, perhaps. But from a consumer's perspective it's most certainly not the desired outcome.
I suppose I should have said "a desire for unchecked growth." Listening to the politicians, every single one would happily invite every fortune 500 company, every datacenter, every mall, every everything to set up shop in their town/state and are happy to entice with tax breaks to get them there.
I'm fine with what we already have. I disagree with the premise that if you're not growing, you're dying.
Also, what inference hardware are you using that's so efficient you can do it solar powered?
