    Dear modest consumer:

    You don't have a fucking clue regarding our business model, strategy, or tactic.

  9. Fairy tale vs Sea Story ... on Fourth US Navy Collision This Year Raises Suspicion of Cyber-Attacks (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    A fairy tale starts with. "Once upon a time."

    A sea story starts with, "Hey, this ain't no shit."

    So hey ... this ain't no shit from a 9-year naval vet:

    Naval ships have collision warning systems.

    There's a "ding, ding, ding" to alert crew.

    That's when eyeballs gather around radar, and secret guy stuff.

    Also, the watch scans the horizon with binoculars.

    If collision systems are "frozen" or spoofed, it could be a "drunk walk" algorithm that increases the probability of a collision.

    My shipmates were never comfortable with the first report.

    I have never been to Reddit; don't know any of the TOS; don't know the etiquette; have no motivation to go there.

    I do, however, know what freedom of speech is.

  17. Re: How about fixing the abusive moderation? on Video Is Coming To Reddit (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    I question your use of the word, "should."

    If you're a legislator pondering the wording of a Constitutional amendment, then fine.

    Freedom of speech is a protection against being arrested by the government.

    Unless Reddit is the gubmint, "free speech" is out of context.

  19. Exactly, and the customer is served what the customer orders.

    This is true of most businesses.

    If some strategy isn't optimal for revenue stream, it's abandoned.
