Microsoft acquired Skype, did not create it. Then destryed it with its own hands.

Those two are great services.

In fairness, the Falcon 9 / Dragon capsule systems are solid and reliable, with good track records.

This is what I was claiming, too.

he has no idea how anything works beyond a very big picture / conceptual level.

You remind me of the recent declaration about launching data servers in orbit.

Can you redirect me to a showdown of successful cardboard bikes?

I know this would be one rebuttal. Yes, you can still ride your steel bicycle, but the manufacturers left are few and premium-priced.

Bring back steel bikes 🙌

SpaceX rockets are all but shitty, but you can claim it’s despite Musk’s involvement. Since it’s been known he fires all the capable engineers who disagree with him.

There are if you look for them.

And «too big» for Linus is around 20.

That’s just the British haircut.

Guess what, it’s a passion project and the developers speak English.

As much as I don’t appreciate that type of work, I wanted to share the same thought.

I am not based in North America, so at least here in Central Europe the public discourse is still decent.

If you are dumb it’s not your fault. You didn’t, know better. If you are ignorant you can learn.

This works because you consider intelligence as something congenital, but I am of a different opinion.
It is just an opinion, I am not a sociology scholar, but at least maybe we can agree than if I turn out «intelligent» it’s thanks to the resources and attention that I have received as a child.
Take it as a joke, but let’s say: I am intelligent because my mother always read me novels in bed before sleep, and found pride in doing maths by thought. What about who didn’t receive this privilege?
I don’t intend by this to nullify the individual agency. But maybe you should be open to teach if you want others to learn. Because it would have only taken the lack of that little pushes in the right direction, and I would also be «on the other side».

I am so glad that at least one reply got the point.
I have also been in situations that led me to distance myself from certain groups and extremisms, but really it was not an anecdotical observation; more like a general one.
More than anything, we (humans) long for being accepted.
The bar for men in progressive spaces might now have been set too high. You don’t educate a dog by hitting it with a stick.

Your stance will not prevent men from turning their back on progressive spaces.
