> you are pushing something that nobody sane would believe: major owners of a company would have no say in the company steering and management?? No. I’m saying you’re just wrong ab…

I assume that wasn’t meant as a sincere apology. If that is what you are up to, let’s end at this point.

I guess it depends on whether you consider alcoholism to be a mental illness. It is listed as one in the DSM-V.

> Vanguard and blackrock are the major share holders across the whole of big tech. This is simply a false statement. Holding a single digit percentage of a company doesn’t make you…

> No where do I see dang claiming he trusts Hersh. You're just putting words into their mouth now. I’m not putting words in anyone’s mouth. Given that it’s clear he wouldn’t give t…

Presumably not with just anyone who reported that claiming to have a source, but only because it’s Hersh. As far as I can see your position evaluates to ‘dang trusts Hersh‘. Since …

What could explain the increase in suicides if not mental illness?

If the story isn’t true, then it isn’t just making you think about what the US government is doing. It’s making you fantasize about it based on an unknown person’s political agenda…

Saying what amounts to ‘we’d never be in that position’ comes across as pretty evasive. Also saying Hersh only writes this kind of thing supports the idea that Hersh is biased enou…

> we are seeing things like declines in lifespans and increases in suicide, but I don't think mental illness is increasingly nearly as much as the stats would lead you to believe a…

> If I recall properly, vanguard is usually the biggest major owner something like between 10% and 20% and blackrock not far behind Wrong. Just as you are wrong about Blackrock or …

You’re confusing leverage and political positioning with competence and capability. Not that all managers are incompetent. Some are indeed inspired and or excellent. However these …

> I meant they do implement what the owners of the company want. This is circular. You are claiming this but haven’t shown any evidence. You ignore the fact that you’re just wrong …

Blackrock and Vanguard didn’t choose Tim Cook, Jobs did. Sundar Pichai was chosen by Larry and Sergei, who still have control of the voting shares in Google. Even if they did have …

Do you honestly believe that chickens are a good animal model for human behavior? I don’t think you do.

Teens with anything that can be considered to be a weakness face more bullying. Adults too. Schools are responsible for bullying and should be held to account.

Are you seriously claiming that Google, Microsoft and Apple’s strategy are set by Blackrock and Vanguard? That seems highly unlikely to have any truth to it.

Article is total and utter bullshit. For example: > Scams have been around as long as technology, and even the original Apple iPhone demo was completely faked. The mock-up didn’t w…

Ahh ok - so it’s good for low powered hardware. That’s a useful answer. Edit: corrected ‘old’ to ‘low powered’.

> I would suggest a minimum of a workday. This is key. An emergency disrupts your scheduling and easily justifies a workday as a minimum.

Since when does VSCode cost an arm and a leg to operate? Also saying it’s one of the best doesn’t explain why . I’m asking whether there is something distinctive about it.

Why Kate and not VSCode?

> It has nothing to do with difficulty. It’s not a leveling up game of leetcode. Then you should reply to the parent comment and not mine. > No it’s not. They will roast their subo…

There is no evidence that management problems are harder to solve than coding problems. Not only that, but when coders make mistakes the impact can be large and the responsibility …

> I'm to the point where I'm willing to eat the rest of the initial investment just to get some space back in my garage. Perhaps if they were leather this would be more reasonable.…
