“And the Flatline aligned the nose of Kuang's sting with the center of the dark below. And dove. Case's sensory input warped with their velocity. His mouth filled with an aching taste of blue.

There appear to be more of US then there are of you.
It's just that simple. If the market really had demonstrated that a large number of people really wanted to swap out their CPUs (assuming they had any idea what they were) or add RAM (What? A truck?) or any of the other geeky things that tickle you, we'd see them.
You are hiding in an incredibly small niche. That's fine and dandy, even potentially uplifting.
Theranos has had plenty of time to show up their 'tech'. While their idea is a good one (multiple medical tests on very small sample volumes) they have been unable to produce pretty much anything in close to a decade of research. There may be some IP worth pursuing in this mess, but that certainly isn't a given - at least from the publicly available information.
If it's not completely hot air, it's pretty damn close. Remember, we have plenty of medical tests that can be run with a small sample volume - 100 microliters (0.1 ml). The issue is getting all two hundred tests done on a similarly sized sample.
Look, that's completely obvious - reality doesn't happen all at once. That would be overwhelming for the vast majority of people, It has to, you know, flow.
Those of us who look longingly and our cheese grater stuffed in a box somewhere and wish, really wish, Apple could, you know, improve on the concept of a high end, expandable Mac instead of something that looks like Jony Ive's idea of an ashtray.
Well, we didn't exactly ask for that. But I suppose it will be all we get.
This whole thing smells pretty skanky. Yes, the DJI quadcopters can produce fairly high quality GPS tagged video. No questions there. And, should you be of a particular persuasion, you can upload that data to SkyPixel (owned by DJI) or YouTube or FaceBook or whatever. But you have to work a bit to do it. It's not automatic and there is absolutely no data to suggest that the drones and controllers are sending back unsolicited video. Further, if you don't take the images off the SD card, all you get is 720P - at best (from the downlink). Woot.
So, some poor Chinese intelligence intern is pouring through gigabytes of pictures of Americans' back yards, local parks and smoggy sunsets in order to glean some tiny bits of information? Sucks to be him (or her). It would be a whole lot easier to just pick off areas of interest on Google Earth. Or even buy some satellite time. Or launch your own.
I don't mind paying, but I do mind paying AND being annoyed.
I dropped my NYT subscription because it showed the same unstoppable video, the same annoying adverts and the same Nicholas Kristof whining. I expected the latter but not the former.
And quit pestering me to get a gift subscription to somebody else.

Wealth distribution (or lack of it) has been an issue for humans since before time was time.
All wars are resource wars.
These people were proven wrong over and over again.
So, history repeated itself?
The 'Law of Gross Tonnage' is actually not written into maritime law but it is well known and typically followed (if you plan on staying alive).
The reason that drones don't have the right-of-way is because it is unmanned. Robots are ALWAYS subservient to humans. Been that way since the 1950's,
Build early, build often?

But it's not profitable.

Remember holographic storage, jet packs, flying cars, fusion power?
World Peace?
Me neither.
Was that the primary buffer panel?

Otherwise it would be just too overwhelming.

Maybe.

No SCSI. Hell, I'll bet it doesn't even have a parallel port

'Cuz you're doing it wrong - it's hookers and blow.
Sometimes I'm glad I don't have mod points.
But - how do you do it and why would you bother?

Absolutely tasteless. So no money to them.

As an ER doc, I would hate to run into this but my wife (an ER) nurse and I have talked about doing exactly this.
Except we're not much into tats.
Moral of the story: women get a total free pass short of sexually assaulting barely legal interns in full view of corporate counsel.
Leave your twisted fantasies out of this.
It has long been good advice to keep your social and professional lives separate. For many reasons.

You seem to have either over achieving kids or an over active imagination.
It does not compute!
It's gatekeepers all the way down.
