One thing's for sure about Stallman, he continues to flog the dead horse long after it has not only died but decomposed. He is the living embodiment of "To a man with a hammer" syndrome.
Is Stallman's theory that every end-user should review the source code of every bit of code they have on their computer prior to executing it? Because other than that I don't see how his fantasy that we only run code whose operations we understand could be achieved. To call that fantasy unrealistic would be a major understatement. But that doesn't stop RMS from continuing to spout his bullshit.
When you restrict or close the door to competition you end up with Windows.
I end up off-and-on the world's richest man, and with one of the largest companies on Earth by market capitalization? I'm missing the downside of that.
I will happily call people stupid who say stupid things, such as commenting that other people shouldn't care about how much money they lose. I don't know why you're addressing me about compensation issues since I didn't say a word about it.
I'm not quite sure how stupid you are from your post, so let me pitch this pretty low. If this is one of the busiest times of the year, and the guy didn't make his sales, then he lost a significant percentage of his expected annual revenue and profit, even if you don't happen to be impressed by the numbers. Maybe for you being out $10,000 is something you just worry about after you get done with your manicure, but maybe for this guy it's 25% of what he expected to make in 2017. You might consider commenting on things where you actually know what's going on, instead of ones where you obviously don't.
You really ought to have been embarrassed to have even thought that, much less typed it in where other people could read it. Obviously you didn't really what Damore actually said.
But I guess in some cultures it's fine to beat up queers or children, so keep your nose out of other people's business on that, too.
That is a stupid argument. In fact, it isn't an argument at all. It's saying "unrelated B is bad therefore A is bad". Pick up a book on logic someday and see if you can assimilate any of it.
He gave you some sense as to why he's experienced in this area. You can choose to believe it or not; you can listen to his opinion or not. Responding snottily, to things he didn't say, seems like a less than optimal choice.
Put another way, I got a lot more interesting info from his post than from your retort.

Are you talking about the capitol _building_? Because FiOS is certainly available in Albany.

You want moneylosing local journalism, fund it yourself. Don't expect others to fund it for you.
I agree. Always been my favorite.
Color me not very priggish, then. Tell the people who are being helped by the Gates Foundation all about your opinion.

I think a 5% profit margin would be pretty minimal for stuff sold on Amazon. Perhaps unlike you I speak from significant experience on this point.

You didn't bother reading the article did you? There was a higher spike in 2016 which was under Obama. These facts are not difficult to get right.

Stuff that doesn't matter.
It's very accurate, which is probably what upsets you.
I agree.
Nice miss of the point.
The question was "Where are whites being discriminated against?", and an example was provided.
When you say "by all accounts", does that mean you didn't actually read that widely available memo yourself to find out what it said?
You really ought to have been embarrassed to have even thought that, much less typed it in where other people could read it. Obviously you didn't really what Damore actually said.
Every single white male got that, eh? But other people, not you, are the bigots. I see.
Someone raised their price. Who cares?
Wrong.
Food banks, homeless shelters, and the like are plainly done for the good of humanity.
Quiz question - which societal entity does the most of that?

You lost me at "Paul Ehrlich is not an alarmist."
