I'm having trouble understanding your logical association between having no interest in doing something and being willing to do literally anything else. Would you mind explaining what you mean by that?

This is how the world works now. The most important thing is marketing/buzz/hype/name-dropping. Once you've got that, then you can begin thinking about what the focus of your business will be and what products or service

Let me make sure I understand your logic: If you had a girlfriend/boyfriend who drank gasoline and ate glass and small, powerful magnets every day, you would not lift a finger or speak a word attempting to stop them? Because they are &

Your wife drinks 2 cans of soda and takes Advil every single day? And you let her do this? Can I ask why you don't care about the well-being of your spouse?

I can't believe how long I laughed at this comment. I literally rolled around laughing uncontrollably on the floor at this comment. All my coworkers are staring at me funny now. This is one of the most amazing comments I've ever s

> We shouldn't really take the shortcut of comparing our wealth to the wealth of others. Aren't shortcuts in dealing with people a problem? That's a great perspective I hadn't considered before. You are right, taking

I don't understand why we're supposed to feel bad for someone like this? Like, sure he has a felony on his record, but he is enormously wealthy and a successful businessman who will continue to acquire more and more money in the f

Ever since the idea of a modular phone was first introduced "Phonebloks, or whatever it was" I have known for a fact that it was a fundamentally flawed concept and would never see the light of day, despite the enormous hype and su

Those are some very elaborate strawmen you are constructing there. Is that what you're referring to? How come whenever someone, like me, reveals a factual, truthful, and well-argued opinion, they are criticized by people like you? Do y

What a self-absorbed person you are. You bought a house in the Bay Area right out of college, allenc. You have ABSOLUTELY no right to be telling anyone what they do and do not deserve. You have lived a very easy life full of many luxuries,

Do you know how I can tell you're a self-published author who thinks very highly of himself without reading a single word you wrote?

So you're saying you feel bad for the person who chose to lie in exchange for millions and millions of dollars? By any chance, are you yourself rich? I can see how that would make it easier to sympathize with someone like Sean Murray.

Haha, looking through your comment history, you have absolutely no right to be using such a concescending tone. Does your resume include any position besides "old, disgruntled, unhappy, friendless programmer"?

There you go, oldmanjay, very good. When you encounter an opinion you don't agree with, the first thing you try to do is discredit the person speaking that opinion. That is EXACTLY the correct, adult way to handle things. The best part

Same here. I quit my cushy office job 2 years ago to start my own company. This year will be my first time posting revenue over $1 million. :) Needless to things, things are going very well for me and I am much better of now than when I was

I'm not sure why you are in favor of the government taking away our basic freedoms, but I do not agree with you, sir. If you want to live in a fascist country, you are more than welcome to move to one. :)

I made something exactly like what you describe as well. It sounds like mine probably had more features and was slightly more useful, but still, really nice effort. (it was also never released by the company) I still use the tool today to p

This. It's exactly like self-driving cars. I hope it NEVER becomes illegal to drive on public roads, even when there are self-driving cars. No one can ever take the freedom of driving away from me. I love driving and I will never stop

You obviously don't think very highly of your boss. Anyone who knows you should be able to immediately tell who you are just by writing style and pretension alone.

I am a level V in all of the things you've listed. I also have a computer science degree from a school that actually IS well ranked. And, as you probably guessed, I have also written several books and people have paid to hear me speak
