So, the userbase is increasing? Because those "15 years younger" are already on other platforms shaking their donkey.
Sounds like a great meeting summary but did it yield results?

Man B: "No. Fuck off."
Local News: "Man B wins the lottery after exploiting a free idea."
Yep, you can advocate everything is fine with this scenario. You could instead advocate for a different scenario. You know, when you talk to your kids. Or family. Or friends. Or neighbours. And they talk to their x/y/z/a/b/c. Or you could advocate for being an asshole to, what amounts to, a finite number of people. Like a pebble in the pond, causing ripples. Some are poison. Some are not. But you choose which it is.
When it comes to large corps, the prices paid for these products is already so large, because of the scale, that it often times makes more sense to employ your own, instead. These kind of decisions are taken all too often. We'll spend a good few sprints exploring possibilities/mapping differences/POCing to more accurately estimate all these findings and their ROI before deciding. This can also include tough migrations. At a previous megacorp; ELK did a nasty? Migrated to OpenSearch.
So, hard no on your take.
Comedy gold.
Cute but I'll go with option 2. He "sounded the alarm" to raise demand and price.
Why do you give merit to "members of both parties" opinion in fields of science? Said members choose to whom to listen and whom to ignore according to their agenda. History showed us decades upon decades of corrupt leadership that blatantly lie to their people. And you're here reciting some rehashed propaganda?
Cryptocurrency is a platform for trade. Not a miracle investment. Media piracy is alive because many simply don't have access to it, otherwise.
When Netflix came to my area. Yesthankyouplease signed up for the ultra whatever 4k package within days. When they started removing content, pumping woke shit and increased the price, ye nah cya wouldn't wanna be ya. And back to piracy. Who is the idiot who pays for a garbage streaming service that has no content? Let alone multiple streaming services? Just read a book, instead.
No. Piracy and crypto aren't alive because of your delusions.
The last feature piracy has is enabling game demos (Thank fuck more companies are releasing demos again). How many times do companies expect to fool people into shilling out hard cash for what, effectively, is just an unrelated CGI video reel nicked named "trailer"? Many times these trailers don't even include gameplay. Other times they straight up lie about the content of the game and release it with dumbed down graphics. Or a much more barren world.
Nah, piracy enables demos and it doesn't "hUrT tHe GaMiNg iNdUsTrY". https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/09/eu-study-finds-piracy...
Take Amazon for example. Steals product ideas. Undercuts them. Bans them from their platform. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/amazon-i...
Replaces quality products with Chinese garbage. Injects fake reviews. https://odysee.com/@rossmanngroup:a/the-downfall-of-amazon-d...
With legalized gov corruption (lobbying) and media campaigns to brainwash us into thinking how amazing all these megacorps are, of course most people think a centralized internet is the bee's knees. These people don't have time to crawl through these niche information channels and find out how these user-hostile corporations operate. The people see pretty colors and drool in response. We're given enough time to work, make some babies and die.
If their device isn't good enough to put itself above others, it is not worth buying. The 1 or maybe 1.5 exclusive they have has zero worth these days. Every console has their exclusives. And among them you will always find something enjoyable. Just stop watching ads/campaigns, who decide for you, and you'll be happy to find many "under the radar" (aka not sold at full price so not marketed) titles.
Tangent - This is a disgusting practice to keep us paying for deprecated electronics. By them and the rest of the console companies. Arm wrestling law makers to vendor lock us is not a business model.
Effectively no one is debugging assembly. But, I'm supposed to be convinced "someone will need to be there when things break"? Come on. There are millions in the field worldwide.
What you say is true, from my own experience as well. That said, it feels like a career change is in order simply to be able to continue to provide 10 years from now (There's another 30+ years I need to work before they let me die).
Look at this, for example https://developer.android.com/about/versions/10/behavior-cha...
Why? Let me handle permissions. Don't choose, for me, whether I can chew steak or not.
End of the day, we're trained to be idiots. School teaches us nothing. Products treat us like babies, strengthening idiocy. I mean, if a device breaks, we call the service guy and don't try and repair it ourselves, right? Because "changing a battery is life threatening. It must be outlawed." (- Apple) People are convinced, by ads and media campaigns, that all this is good. People are convinced they are using luxury devices.
Then again, it's always dinosaurs who value their own teachings, above anything else, and try to cling on to it, at any cost, without learning new tools. So, while the industry is going through major changes (2023 saw a 30% decrease in new hires. Among 940 companies surveyed, 40% expect layoffs due to AI), people should adapt rather than ignore the signs.
Anyway, why wouldn't there be? You reach out to the parent company with an issue and request for improvement. If you're a big enough client, you get your request prioritized higher. Same as with any other product that's part of your product today.
The appliance of LLMs today isn't straight up text in, text out; It has become more complex than that. Enough that it can be improved without improving the LLM model.
Your argument is moot.
That's exactly what my wife did. She solved coding challenges for a few weeks before interviewing at Google. Got an offer but turned it down because of the people she met.
Getting fired where we live (not US) is very hard.
Besides, there is a difference between personal lives and the dealings of a government. The latter is supposed to work for us. Do what is the in our best interest. Why do they need to keep secrets? Even military related decisions shouldn't be a secret. If they decide to attack Iraq, I'd like to see a transcription of all related discussions prior to the attack. Surely, if the attack was in the best interest of the people, there is nothing to hide, right? I'm not talking about undercover agents that can risk lives; I'm talking about the type of the discussions that are kept secret because they _aren't_ in the best interest of the people.
Transparency works. https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/2023/11/113_237193.h...
HR gets paid to talk to candidates. I don't get paid to apply. The initial screening call is what allows a company to gauge the relevancy of a candidate. Let him speak about some of the topics and see how in-depth they go. Either the HR is familiar enough with the tech to understand proficiency (think a student listening to a maths professor) or they let a TL have a short conversation. I've overheard unqualified HR do their jobs badly, too; They laughed at picking them by looks and "feels". But, that's out of scope here.
A large company has millions to invest in different areas. Intrinsically, it has a much larger margin of error. You accidentally overprovisioned some resources and cost the company 10k? Tis but a scratch. You POC some personal project and accidentally get billed 10k? That is not the same.
A company can spend money on hiring. It is expected to. A private person can't spend money on applying to jobs. It isn't expected.
It's interesting to see how the shift goes from the self to the company [and to the country]. A little bit of communist propaganda goes a long way, eh, comrade NPC?
Got it!
Brainwashed and absolutely wrong.
A new car doesn't have to be advanced. Give me a comically simple car. Weak. Mechanic. Bare minimum electronics. Whoopsie! Price is low as dirt.
Electric cars have been around for A LOT longer than the popularised EVs of today. They were weak, perfect for cities. But they have all but disappeared and no one's heard of them today.
But, that's not where corporations make money. And they only need to market it so people are convinced there is no alternative. Like phones!
"Oh, sorry, Citizen #95810041, we simply HAVE to release 41 additional cameras in the next iteration. You were asking for hardware akin to the S1? You don't need 5TiB of memory just to read emails and communicate thought some app? Oh gee wiz golly my, no good obedient citizen, that's just impossible! No one can do that. What's that; the Pinephone is cheap as shit and just good enough? No, that's illegal. You need to subscri... I mean BUY what we spew!"
foad.
You lost the bet.
