It’s no coincidence. All those YouTube recommendations that pop up unexpected? They feed the same recommendations to everyone who fits a certain demographic. Someone must have paid to promote that video.
Been discussed to death-still no from what we know and I have no problem with that.
Yeah I am in that circumstance too at this point. I just wonder how much worse win has to get before EVERYONE abandons it for a return to science-centric systems vs. business-centric systems. I feel that I am in a bit of a unique position as I have long held a degree from the oldest Computer Science department in the country and as far as I am concerned it is my reasonably well informed opinion that, having closely watched it all from the very beginning, microsoft has almost single-handedly spawned the almost complete destruction of the integrity of the science of computing software with their nearly blind focus on profiteering. apple with its closed system approach is even worse on that front. But then, what does integrity really mean in this world anymore? The word might just as well be officially deprecated from modern language. It seems very few people now will ever miss it.
That’s not gonna happen. Most people aren’t wired for scientific stuff, and business-centric stuff has a much larger audience. And way more money.
Microsoft, Apple, Google, and all the Big Data companies do it. Microsoft gave away Windows — turning away billions of dollars of revenue — because they can make even more billions by owning your data.
Integrity is still very much alive. It’s just been driven underground. Keep living a high-minded life. You will attract others who do the same.
Sounds like my story. I invented a phased-array sonar for this company. Their sales went from $3M to $18M overnight. They sold the company to a big conglomerate who then froze my pay, cut my office in half and reduced our benefits (along the old HR person trying to tell us with a straight face how the new health care was better even though we got less benefits).
Let's see it this way: if it wasn't for those greedy individuals, you'd probably still be working on sonars and the best gear company in the world would have never existed. So thank'em and fuck'em at the same time
You blessed us all with your decision and drive! Kudos on the incredible path you followed ;~))
Sorry, I meant to type "+1 Rex" and then I typed Max instead because I was talking to a Max at the time. My bad man.Well there's at least +1 Max. Thanks for that!
