Not saying this is the case, but I heard an argument made about this on the other side. Saying the ICE situation is manufactured by the Democratic party by not playing ball like th…

> I can't think of a game available on GoG that sells on Steam for > $20. I am sure one exists, but in general these are older, cheaper games. Fair point but I think there are quit…

I never said that a person cannot appreciate the contribution while agreeing with the decision to break it apart. The idea was if monopolies are bad an Bell Labs is the product of …

Noise for you maybe. I don't expect people with limited time to give me a scientific paper level details regarding every idea they have. If their idea is interesting I spend time r…

> That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Fair enough :) That's one way to think about it ^^ If this would have been a debate I would agree. …

I'm sorry, I should have used more explicit terms: "free of monetary charge" is what I meant. Nothing can be free in this world. For some people not paying money for something but …

> then paint a black and white argument I fail to see how my argument was black and white when I say there's a trade off. Can you please tell me how my argument is black and white?…

Thing is Google lost money for many years in YouTube. Nowadays I think it's profitable but it seems unfair to ask a company to take loses for a decade or more and then force to sel…

> By that logic, people should still be at the mercy of AT&T because Bell Labs gave so much back to humanity. So your argument is that Bell Labs should have never happened since it…

I meant OSS or free products. Windows / Office / Visual Studio are for profit products? GitHub was free before Microsoft bought it, they just made the private repos free as well. B…

I agree that war pushes innovation the most, but I assume you don't want humanity to be in constant state of war. So how do you get innovation in peace time? I would argue if you'r…

I agree. Love C#, VS Code and TypeScript. Microsoft changed a bit lately. But there's a lot of history with Microsoft and the recent CoPilot ripping off OSS code and blocking C# su…

Fair. These are good examples of open source that Microsoft did! I love all 3 of those.

You're missing my point. In a perfect competition environment all profits go to 0. This is great for customers horrible for innovation. Innovation happens when there's enough capit…

It's not but it is free to use.

Arguably out of the big 4 (Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon) Google gave the most back to humanity: Android, Chromium, Kubernetes, Google Office suite, the Go programming language,…

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but if you're serious, I'm pretty sure the OP is talking metaphorically. It's just a slight annoyance he's not "emotional" about it. I also fail…

Why do people compare Netflix with cable? It's a completely different technology. There are more differences in the technology that similarities. It's similar to asking someone who…

I agree with what you're saying. I don't like racist/homophobic/transphobic behavior but I find it hard to reconcile that with free speech. And I think they only way you can change…

Yeah, frustration breeds frustration. So I agree that it's better to disregard it if you can't handle it. But I'm just wondering, is it possible to ignore the form of the message a…

I agree. And ideally this is what all emails should look like. But you're ignoring the context. Do you know what that guy was going through? Maybe his wife just cheated on him, div…

Only true if you're expecting the the person who provided feedback to behave like a robot and exist without any kind of emotions. Loose analogy, I don't watch videos with people bu…

Isn't it smart to invest in Nuclear? Sure, there might be drawbacks right now but if we invest in research and improve it we might find a way to make it "greener"? Also we seem to …

I think is so popular because of the Killing Monsters trailer. He does end up actually making a choice. But the choice is not between killing Renfri and Stregobor (which was the in…

Why? :) Edit: Switzerland chose to stay neutral in a world war. I think that's fine. Not getting involved is a viable option in my opinion.
