My extended family got out of family in Idaho, the properties got sold to a corporation. One piece of eventually property got paved over as a parking lot for a Walmart store.
Yes, given your inability to quote full context - much less understand it - I'm pretty sure your reading abilities & comprehension are lacking.
You're assuming that I'm going to read analyst reports for a stock I don't own and not planning to buy. The rest of your point was irrelevant to my comment.
I guess cutting and pasting is enough exertion for you that you can only manage to use those oily ham hands to drag your mouse across 7 of the 24 words I wrote before you get tired and give up, huh?
I use a Logitech Marble Mouse (trackball). Have to keep that middle finger nimble.
Not to mention the mess it would make of a lot of accents.
With the Amazon Echo, you're supposed to "train" it to your voice pattern. My friend got pissed off because his Echo responded to me without any training. That didn't surprise me. I was using my telephone voice to speak as clearly as possible. If I can talk to pissed off users on the phone, I can talk to any voice-enabled device.
You're barking up the wrong tree. The number of family farms are few in comparison to the corporate-owned farms. It's the corporations that are raking in every available tax break. Previous generations of my family were farmers. When I expressed an interest in going to a community college with an agriculture program in the early 1990's, my father told me to forget about it as family farming was a dead end. I went to a community college known for its technology programs.
As far as Wall Street analysts are concern, the quarterly results are the only thing that matters. If other cellphone manufacturers have something new and exciting each quarter, and Apple doesn't, Apple is falling behind. Eight quarters without something new and exciting is a long time for Wall Street.
I had Siri-enabled iPhones for several years but never used the feature. Probably because I'm a visual person and prefer text over speech. Having used Amazon Echo at a friend's place, I have no desire get that or an Apple HomePod.
If you think that's bad, I got voted "As Most Likely to Go Postal" at one company. Supposedly because I'm too quiet when working and no one knows what would set me off. (I've seen enough BS in my life that it isn't worth the trouble to get upset about.) Which was funny since we had a guy who took a baseball to his cube — and wasn't fired for destroying company property. It didn't take me long to put my resume out.
My favorite documentary is In Search of Shakespeare by Michael Wood. If you read other Shakespeare biographies that came out after this documentary, Wood is sometimes accused of making Shakespeare too popular for non-scholars and not serious enough for the serious scholars to take seriously.
I thought Battlefield Earth was bad enough. That cured me of wanting to read anything else by him.
When I attended Alien Con last year, there was a L. Ron Hubbard table with his all books, someone dressed up as Psychlo alien, and a huge Styrofoam spaceship. If that wasn't crazy enough, I've overheard people talking about their alien abduction experiences and the government cover up.
Are you REALLY sure LRH actually wrote any of them?
IIRC, "Battlefield Earth" was when he was alive but "Mission Earth" came out after he died. The weird thing about "Mission Earth" was the narrative structure: the first seven volumes was written in the first person, shifts to the third person in the last three volumes, set several centuries ahead and looking back on the story. Makes me wonder if someone else wrote the remaining volumes.
I didn't read "Battlefield Earth" by L. Ron Hubbard until Amazon had the ebook version for $1.99 last year. I've enjoyed the book much more than the movie. Although I've read the first three volumes of "Mission Earth" as a teenager, I didn't read all ten volumes until this year. Gets off to great start, sags in the middle, and finishes with a bang. This book series is like the Trump Administration: just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, it takes you further down into the corruption that is humanity.

Your anecdotal story means nothing against facts.
If the facts come from the government, those facts can't be wrong then.
I guess HTC, LT and Microsoft haven't figured out how to pick up the remaining 60% of the cellphone market.
Bullshit.

How is that a bad thing?
How many millions of dollars does this "corporate-owned" farm spend lobbying in Washington?

Analysts are not excited by "new shiny" [...]
I must be reading The Wall Street Journal wrong then.

But corporate farmers are people too!
Ethanol is profitable only because of the tax incentives. Without the tax incentives, farmers will find something else grow.
I'm not sure what else I *would* do with these things.
Amazon Echo has a bunch of "Easter eggs" that you can trigger. My favorite, "Beam me up, Scotty."

He's bald and always winking, show him more ads for Rogaine and eye drops!
Meanwhile, more Captain Picard memes in the daily feed.

Charge $300 per hour and your relatives will leave you alone. Mine did.

But the Republican and Russian parties don't support net neutrality.

Cuban didn't produce Slashdot idiot.
I wasn't referring to Cuban at all in my comment. I was pointing the Slashdot nihilism towards successful people.

I have more respect for someone in IT making $50,000 in Silicon Valley protecting our country [...]
Thank you.
People didn't want what Cuban produced.
I was referring to Slashdot in general.
