I have the chicken and egg problem.

I refuse to develop for Apple due to their anti-developer and anti-consumer policies.

So would I make Apps for Apple is they played nicely? Yes.

The heart of discussion can be found in the details, not the surface.

You say you like it, but when Ford or similar does it, it's annoying.

It's not that Tesla quality is good either.

It's one of those things that we tell ourselves we like.

I believe there isn't a correct answer, but rather our psychology decides what we like rather than true performance

When the tech bubble bursts, either everyone gets bailed out, and it does become worth 200B. Or we are going to find out much of this tech money was speculation.

What's hard about running a server farm? Does it lend to this valuation?

If you have internet and food, are you still in poverty?

Instead people wrongly think fast food is cheaper than home cooked food.

Not sure your point of "no money for good food"

Source- calories and protein and vitamins per dollar

Edit- fast food is not necessarily faster. Carrots and protein shakes are faster than waiting in line for example.

Harder to change everything later.

Before anyone asks, federal income, Medicare, Medicaid, social security, state income, state sales tax, local property tax, and lesser- luxury and gas tax.

They don't like the safety nets.

I never understood why. Mods claim it "doesn't add to the topic".

Bitcoin is big because it's adopted and decentralized.

The same fears about Facebook is why their currency will not be trusted. I don't trust Amazon, but I do trust Bitcoin.

Government collects taxes.

There is an unavoidable obligation for companies to provide value.

If I have a resource heavy problem, I can solve it for a fraction of the price outside the Apple Ecosystem.

Who buys these? When you look to the source you will understand.

I wonder if you taught them philosophy, if all would fall into place.

BET, will have commercials with almost exclusively African Americans. The food commercials are stereotypical.

Country music channel, will have country looking people and Truck commercials.

Comedy Central, that appeals to everyone including You. You will see your stereotype played out in commercial. Things everyone gets, food, insurance, etc...

Text doesn't describe how stereotypical these commercials are. The subtle family structure, the restaurants/activities, the type of girl they use for a model.

Go to BET watch commercials, go to country music channel and watch commercials.

Then go to comedy Central, watch the commercials.

It was the scariest thing. And my life was never the same. Highly recommend.

I don't trust the opinions here anymore. The most I can hope is to see a range of opinions.

Given more than 60% of tech workers do not identify as Democrat, the conclusions that tech workers are Democrats are silly.

I identify with only a few Democrat Candidates and fiscally think Democrats are regressive.

That said, Republicans also don't align with my social or economic views. (Tariffs and government spending)

If I had to guess why this article exists, they are pressuring people into thinking educated rich people vote Democrat.

From this year. There will be no 35k Tesla.

Anyone who got one was merely lucky.

Quite the spin to make a negative a positive.

"Privacy" is the new buzzword.

The whole Mars thing + no 30k electric car after all these years have me immune.

Tesla and musk are simply not trustworthy.

What if things are not prove able? Like "most secure", but their metric is fastest patching. It's not actually secure, but they have logic.

Technically true, but intentionally misleading.

I don't suggest getting caught up in the Innocence of having a brick and mortar sign. This is not what we worry about.

What do we learn from a beer commercial showing hot girls? Or a tech commercial showing people dancing. These are feelings unrelated to the product.

These specific examples don't scratch the surface. The best marketing, you don't see.

But open source also means users can fork if the company sucks.

I did Chem engineering in college, but have been programming since I was 17.

Now I've moved to electrical design Engineering since it seems to be a hybrid of engineering and programming.

So far my job is understanding everything that goes into my complex system. I'm not sure if this or embedded programming is my future. What is more valuable?

I believe the Ancient Greeks hated these mind control techniques. But in modern society, we are told it's a good thing.

I'm not sure what is good about being tricked to buy average products at expensive prices. Samsung/Apple are my two examples in the tech world.

Started a website for fun, maybe I'll sell books. Then my website got popular and people want more content faster.

I have a day job, so I can't work full time unless I'm paid similar.

I'm unsure what to do next. My free website can be monatized with the goal of quitting my job.

Or users can get my hobby for free.

It seems no one is happy except me. The only benefit, my popularity will likely have me employed forever.

It's an ancedote sure, but back in 2012, we shopped only at Amazon. Now they are no longer King.

I wonder if thousands of years from now people will look back on our economics like we did to the Romans- "how could they not understand inflation?"
