You wish lol. In truth they can serve this to as many users as they want, and catch garbage outlier responses.

Good one lol

That's why I'm fully pro-automation. Automation makes everyone's lives easier, it removes the burdens from the backs of people. For every job that someone doesn't have to toil at we have the chance for them to find something they actually enjoy and excel at it, maybe even push the boundaries in some way.

People think they fear automation, but that's not the enemy. The enemy is the politicians who are so far behind the times, and in many cases corrupt to the point they're actively working against the people they were elected to serve, that our system simply will not adapt to these boons we've developed. There's just no reason we can't feed every mouth in America if the will was there in the people pulling the strings, but that doesn't line their pockets personally and the people in positions of power don't give a rat's ass about you or your family.

Honestly it feels like all the pieces are there to build something wonderful, but it wont happen unless we're willing to knock down the shitty "it's what we've got" house of cards narrative.

XcQ, Link stays blue.

Trillions of packages delivered successfully, but because some idiot thought waxpaper was a good packing for cookies we should throw out that system? I'd love to hear your thoughts on how such a system would work at that kind of throughput.

The least they can do is either number or codename the shots. How do I ask the local pharmacy if they have the updated shot? "The one they've been working on for a while?" "Just came out?"

Call it booster shot #, give it a more interesting name, or call it an amalgamation of the strains it targets.

Why not be the change you wish to see, then? Fork it, and surely they will come.

That or Linus' work is of high enough quality that people are willing to put up with his crass behavior.

Also, somewhat unrelated, but comparing Linus to Elon is a nonstarter. Elon has money, but contributes little more than ego past that. Linus, on the other hand, actually gets his hands dirty. I don't care for his behavior, but I do respect someone who actually does the work.

You're right he can be a bit crass without needing to be. The outcome of his methods is exemplary, though.

One has to wonder to what degree this can be prevented if we stop doing stupid shit like growing water-hungry crops in Arizona and allowing megacorps to pump without limits...

Sounds like the exact same thing, just slightly more abstracted. How many hurts is a dying?

Gotta install the last star from snap, I bet.

Put a banner outside saying "no gratuity necessary, the price you see is the price you pay!" and watch what happens.
