Are you suggesting that we should just educate people for FREE?
That would be socialism!
The next thing you will be telling me that police, prisons and fire departments shouldn't be run for profit. That natural resources aren't supposed to be sold to be strip mined for profit. And that people shouldn't have to pay for clean water. And do you think that clean air just grows on trees?
The goal of the education system is to pigeon hole students into one of two tracks. You either are destined to occupy the for profit prisons, because vacant cells are not earning revenue, and thus decrease shareholder value; or you are destined to be a worker drone paying taxes to fund the for profit prisons.
> The words top billionaires are not stupid people
So you're saying the president is not one of the world's top billionaires. That is probably true. He may not have what he wants you to think he has. It's one good reason to keep his taxes hidden in order to conceal how tiny the hands really are.
You do not have to be pretty to suck your way a bit higher up the ladder.
Also Daddy's money and connections are what enables one to graduate from a business school and yet be unable to read, write or speak in complete sentences. Critical thinking skills aren't even in the same universe.
Subsequently, one can then become president without the need for daddy's money. For advice on whether to pull out of the Paris climate change agreement, call on a Fox News reporter for advice. I didn't even know she was an eminently qualified foremost authority on climate science.
It's not a profound inability to read or write. Reading at about a 3rd grade level is possible. Stumbling over the adult sized words. Fumbling through the sentence. And then people in the room sigh as they notice the president have the sudden realization of reading comprehension of what he just read. He then tries to explain that sentence to everyone in the room, amazed, not realizing that every adult already understands what he just read.
Trump is not trying to obstruct justice. He's just trying to put a stop to it.
Let's not forget Linux is in anything that has a screen with a GUI. GPS navigators. Printers. Thermostats. TV set top boxes. Smart TVs. Digital cameras. Sticks like Amazon Fire TV stick or Roku Stick that look like an overgrown USB thumb drive.
Linux is in things without screens. Routers. Printers. Network attached storage devices for home networks.
The average household has more Linux instances running than Windows instances.

> Microsoft does not sell Windows Defender as a separate product, it comes with Windows at no cost.
Did you see where I wrote: Maybe at some point the car manufacturer includes the accessory with the car, but still does not actually fix the locks.
But that sounds exactly like not selling Windows Defender as a separate product and including it when you acquire: "Windows at no cost".
But this would be in keeping with the monopolist mindset. If we can't make money selling Windows Defender, then nobody else is going to make money fighting malware either. This will help put anti-malware developers out of business, to help keep us all safe from the malware protection.
Uh, the men with poor impulse control are the ones still working. Fully capable of meeting their harassment quotas. It is the men with good impulse control and politeness who are unable to meet their quotas.
Will deep learnin' algorithms work even if ya' ain't got much data?
Using a tool to generate fake test subject stats is not a lot of effort. Therefore it must be innovation. A computer saving human labor. Something to be encouraged.
I agree, including the part about "if innovation has any meaning at all"; and I think it pretty much doesn't by the very definition you gave.
Launching a new category of product is great. But did not require any spectacularly new technology. If someone else creates something else similar, with their own effort, their own code, their own hardware, etc then they shouldn't be prevented from entering the market.
The BS concept should not only apply to Apple, but it certainly should apply to Apple.
Technology moves rapidly largely because development of competing products, and overlapping leap frogging of innovations is unimpeded.
Just to make clear where I come from: I was a card carrying Apple fanboy back in the 80's and most of the 90's when Apple was a great company. Innovations that the rest of the industry struggled to keep pace with. Now Apple is about fashion and design not about technology. This is obvious when patents are on things like rounded rectangles, slide to unlock and bouncy scrolling. Today? I think the world would be better off without Apple, which is sad because of my fondness for the Apple that once was.
Not quite the right analogy. The car company does not fix the locks. They make their own accessory like the 3rd party accessories to fix the locks. Then they sell that accessory. Then they try to stop the 3rd party shops from selling 3rd party accessories that fix the locks. Maybe at some point the car manufacturer includes the accessory with the car, but still does not actually fix the locks.
It's amusing history at this point. It once was a serious problem. But after what happened a couple weeks ago, it obviously still is a very big problem.
To its credit Microsoft, years ago, got very serious about security. And I applaud them for it.
Google has also been very proactive with Android security.
Linux. Well? Somewhat. Not as much as I'd like. But we generally don't see large scale problems in the wild. Of course, one day we will.
Microsoft has created a monopoly by almost literally forcing (decades ago) OEMs to pre-infect their hardware with Windows OS. If Microsoft can have a monopoly on systems infected with malware, then why can't it have a monopoly on the cure? It must be one of the rules of acquisition. Sell them the problem, and then sell them the cure for it. Why should others be able to profit selling the solution to a problem Microsoft created? If the solution is "too" effective, then malware may disappear -- which would hurt the market for anti-malware.

Surely there must already be some community college in California that is like being in prison?
For profit prisons. The shareholders' answer.

Fox News makes up stuff and calls it news.
CNN doesn't just make things up and call it news.
CNN calls it BREAKING NEWS.

Maybe the Linux desktop happened. Not quite in the way anyone expected. And nobody noticed.
Over 2 billion people have Linux devices in their pockets. On Amazon, Chromebooks have been outselling Windows laptops for years and years now.
I breathe through my nose.

So you are saying that there is a finite possibility that all those power supplies could randomly choose to start up in the same instant? Oh, my. :-)
Of course, I don't run any hardware like that. So for me it's academic.
