A company can't be included in S&P 500 if it doesn't make money, no matter what its market capitalization is. See Tesla for precedent.

I would argue that answer seeking queries have lower commercial value, compared to queries about products or services.

If a resource is practically unlimited (say air), then money doesn't play a role.

Money is a way to assign priority to the acquisition of a resource, similarly to the role of a queue. If a generation is wealthier or not compared to others, it only speaks about how we share resources in society, assuming the wealth is being consumed.

For a society to be richer overall, it doesn't need more money. It needs more resources.

My favorite terminal. Super easy to split screen either horizontally or vertically, which is the most important feature for me.

Another recommendation is "Person of Interest". The series was ahead of its time with the implications of AI on society. It also has spies.

Remarkable has that built in. They offer their own cloud service that makes it trivial to sync your files.

My flow is: 1. (Optional) Upload something on Google drive. 2. Copy it on remarkable. It syncs automatically on cloud. 3. Edit as I wish. 4. Upload final copy to Google Drive

The culture refers to commits like: "add tests" "track new files" "test passes" "tests compile" "temp" and not to logically independent changes.

This is great advice.

Remember, though. You can still get it, even if you do all that. Having cancer is not a moral failure. Even kids may get it.

Realizing, not in a philosophical way, one way way or another, that we will die, is something that changes you. Fewer reasons to accumulate fame and money. More reasons to make yourself happy in this life.

At some point, it is good to die, to make room for the next generation, no matter how great you are. Others deserve a shot, too.
