I realize I should explain my idea in my parent post.
Google must give extensive oversight into anything connected with the company. It did that in the beginning. It is doing that less and less now, in my opinion.
Think about one of the overall issues. Google has 85,050 employees. What a HUGE responsibility.
There is no way to justify Microsoft managers operating the company like that. If Microsoft had paid $100,000,000 for negative advertising, it wouldn't have gotten such extremely bad results, in my opinion.

Intel's marketing is that way NOW. I get weird emails written by people who don't seem to have any understanding of technology. The emails are written as though the reader is a child and the writer is an imcompentent parent.
"Per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclists' risk of a fatal crash is 35 times greater than a passenger car.... Motorcycle rider deaths were nearly 30 times more than drivers of other vehicles. Motorcycle riders aged below 40 are 36 times more likely to be killed than other vehicle operators of the same age."
"It was GM's... poor designs for 15 years that killed it." -- from the parent comment.
The poor designs were at least partially deliberate, apparently. Most car buyers weren't knowledgeable about cars. The bad designs made more money for GM car dealers. The dealers wanted more work, so they wanted more failures. The dealers would make huge amounts of money and would pay for expensive local advertising.
A friend of mine who was also 14 years old then, and who had a father who was an excellent mechanic, suggested we ride our bikes to the places where GM and Ford stored their cars when they arrived in the local area. My friend demonstrated sloppy GM design. Then we went and looked at Ford cars. They were much better designed and built.
The U.S. has laws that prevent car manufacturers from selling directly!!! One story: Tesla US dealership disputes. Amazing!!! Laws that help car dealers make more money. Quoting that Wikipedia article:
"48 states have laws that limit or ban manufacturers from selling vehicles directly to consumers, and although Tesla has no independent dealerships, dealership associations in multiple states have filed numerous lawsuits against Tesla, to prevent the company from selling cars."
If those programs are found to have a serious deficiency, the deficiencies will be fixed and the bounty paid. Mostly nothing will be paid because deficiencies won't be found.

It seems to me that human management is not reliable enough to assure that there won't be disastrous consequences with nuclear plants.
And... Is Bill Gates working to make more money? We could all send him a dollar.
What you said seems correct to me. But...
People who are scared of Mercury can have vaccines without Mercury.
Maybe we should not eat tuna.
Only multi-dose vaccines contain Mercury. You can use single-dose vaccines.
There are 474,643 people in Clark County.
The governor is not communicating perfectly, but he is helping people understand the need for immunization.
The U.S. legal system needs many, many improvements.
ShanghaiBill, I think your comment is better than mine.
Quoting the Slashdot story summary: "The US imprisons more people than any other country in the world."
It is more correct to say, "The US imprisons a higher percentage of its people than any other country in the world."
Prison is a big, profitable business in the United States. The companies that manage prisons are paid up to $70,000 per prisoner, per year.

When I go to a bank website, often NoScript tells me there are links to Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and other Google services.
I think banks, medical facilities, and government entities should not be allowed to connect to web addresses they don't own.
Intel has a LONG history of insufficient management.
Is that at least partly because it is difficult to find a competent manager with an understanding of technology?

Google is becoming more and more sloppily managed, in my opinion.

There are many ways in which Microsoft is insufficiently managed, also.
I posted this before:

I posted this comment to another Slashdot story today about Intel: Intel is insufficiently managed. (I misspelled "incompetent".)
Intel has been insufficiently managed for many years. (My opinion.)
Quoting the parent comment: "They need a CEO that will put an end to the idiocy and refocus Intel..."

I posted this comment 12 1/2 years ago: "It's very, very sad to see Intel on the way down." (2nd paragraph)

SystemD causes a lot of problems. That makes more money for people who work for companies that do Linux technology support.
Is that a giant conflict of interest? Was SystemD allowed by management of Red Hat because it would make more money?

My understanding is that now the best car manufacturer is Toyota. My understanding is that cars designed in the U.S. are far more likely to fail.

What about KeepassX?
... can we trust it ?
Or KeePassXC Password Manager? Question: keepassxc
KeePassXC for Beginners says "Android users, consider KeePassDroid.
iPhone users, consider MiniKeePass".
Please recommend a password manager.
I wish open-source programmers would be more careful about choosing names. Keepass sounds like "Keep Ass".
Information about Keepass: KeePass Password Safe
Does Keepass synchronize across devices?
