<p>No, it is not OK. But also, not what you quoted says.<p>Not sure who you are arguing with really. There seems to be a few logical leaps in between each response.   I also didn't say anything like that.</p>

<p>Was it ever really suppressed, if everyone knew about it? Because it was public information. No conspiracy.<p>The Right:  "Nobody is talking about subject X, where is free speech". -> meanwhile -> "Everyone is talking about subject X",  because you always had free speech. It was just a McGuffin to rile up the base and take control so you can suppress others.</p>

<p>I had assumed this was referring to street level flying drones.<p>Like you see in drone races. But with a little bomb attached.<p>Even with half life.  That could be years.  Depending on changes.  Old neighborhoods probably haven't changed..  And, not sure I read that deal had a cutoff, or not. Could they continue getting updates. ?</p>

<p>Great quote.  To those that think we'll just adapt.<p>"But yeah, a widely adhered-to view of evolution is a reactive one— the pool is drying up, and evolution looks at that and says, oh my goodness, the pool is drying up! We should probably get those fish to evolve lungs. Whereas what evolution actually does is say, oh look, the pool is drying up! Good thing that fish over in the corner that everybody picked on has a perforated swim bladder; it might be able to, like, breathe air long enough to make it over to the next pool. Too bad about all those other poor bastards who are going to die."</p>

<p>If your retirement account is making more than 140k/year. You are probably in late stages of career, and of course have completely different incentives that also play into 'what's the point'.<p>If my retirement account was making more than my salary, then I'd also be asking myself 'what is the point' -> Regardless of inflation.</p>

<p>"Nothing is subsidized"<p>So they are profitable?<p>I think you are mismatching accounting terms.<p>You can't say the 'subscriptions' are profitable without accounting for the cost of making the model that is the source of the subscription.<p>They are heavily subsidized by the shareholders. Investing, running at a loss, with hope of some future profitability.</p>

<p>" leaving the musicians looking like neutral parties."<p>Isn't this giving Ticketmaster too much credit, for helping artist profit.<p>When part of the problem is the artist also does not get as much from the high ticket price.  Since Ticketmaster owns the venues, and the entire supply chain,  the artist is also enthralled and must take whatever 'lower payout' that Ticketmaster feels like giving.<p>So, tickets might be high, the artist also gets a fraction.<p>The ticket buyer only has one option, the artist only has one option.  Both sides of the equation are losing while the grifter in the middle is taking a mad fat cut.<p>This is such a well documented clear cut case of monopoly, it makes me really sad that nobody is breaking it up. Just generally, that the system is failing.</p>

<p>And, HN doesn't show your ranking, at least obviously, so it doesn't get the same gamification to try and maximize points.<p>But, it is social media.  Just that they make a point to try and tone it down and keep it focused.</p>

<p>What if?  Trump is playing 5.7-D chess. He knows his base is full of idiots. He bombs Iran to create a crisis that wakes up his base to "wut, oil, need oil".<p>This was only way to get them to use renewables and re-think that maybe electric vehicles are not just 'woke' but also can help 'national security'.<p>Create Crises, to swing economy to electric and renewables faster than EV subsidies ever could.</p>

<p>"how to accomplish the thing."<p>I always thought this was splitting hairs.<p>C#,C++, Java seems imperative. You are in control?  But you aren't really telling it how to move values between registers, the compiler is making a million decisions for you on how the computer will execute that 'imperative' code.  Just like SQL isn't really telling the DB how to do it either..</p>
