I think a company like this is not planning to linger for years. The owners wanna make a buck for a year or two and then sell it off. If they can stiff their customers in the process, they just don’t care.

For long-lasting companies the motivation would be different. But this is not a world-famous VPN company, not by a long shot.

Some bureaucrats will decide what to cut. It is those offices and committees – probably both public and private – that are the death panels.

I don’t think the claim to Christianity is particularly relevant. Organized religion has been abused for its entire existence – one might reasonably argue that that was the point of it.

The herbal remedies / yoga / crystal gems people were always selling snake oil. No surprise that they’d get along with Trump. (Which is not to say all herbal remedies are worthless, but many are, and if you don’t believe me, have fun getting scammed. And yoga can do a lot for your fitness, yes yes, we agree.)

You have just argued against the article itself. Should we believe you?

This is overly simple. You can’t legitimately believe that an explanation only focusing on one person is sufficient to predict American politics. Nope, no chance. Meh.

It is more than naive. Willful ignorance. Trump was crystal clear about his views on immigrants. She knew exactly what she was doing.

What a terrible headline. All of us? No. Next.

Holy f***, God forbid making settings menus that actually get you to where you want to go, definitely wouldn’t want to do that, much better to AI.

It’s not just you. The title gets causation totally wrong. If people made bad assumptions about how technology would change in the future, it’s their assumptions that are the problem, not reality.

I totally disagree with your characterization. I can come up with dozens of examples of how people don’t think that the goal is “forever”. That’s not to say that you’re lying, if you feel it then no doubt your feelings are genuine, but I don’t think your feelings are a good reflection of contemporary society at large.

He does nothing. In theory he would be an opposition leader but he’s happy to play the “not quite as bad as Trump” role, which means he won’t do anything to actually stop Trump.

They are though. He’s done, he knows it, but he won’t leave and it takes time to force powerful old men to retire.

I agree. And there is also a situation like this, where even if the claim is truthful, It doesn’t actually change anything. He could shift from being the CEO to being the number one advisor to the company, and given his ownership, it would still be the same in effect.
