Very interesting article. Prabhakar Raghavan's basically Ted Faro.

I actually have an engineering friend who did this and he did it in 2 years. Dude had no life, but he put a full down payment on a 750k house in two years. So I guess technical jobs just pay well enough

Lol. I've seen a video in China of something like this. It's a public restroom that requires you to watch an ad accessed by QR code in order to get toilet paper. The future!

I live near a place where the fries come with the burger, but sometimes you have to ask for them. The bean counters assume about 50% of the time that you don't want them. Lunchbox laboratory in Seattle, in case anyone's wondering. It sold out a long time ago and has been crap since

Mmm... Sure. I think it's morally correct for yourself. But the copyright people? They'll argue all day that you shouldn't be allowed to pirate it even after ownership. You need to buy the same movie on, VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, purple-ray, AND omni-ray when it comes out. After all, there's money to be made.

I mean at that point, why aren't churches paying the funeral expenses? Can't let a Christian corpse get desecrated! It is their Christian duty!

Maybe what we miss is battle.net. It was essentially an endless games playstore and you didn't need to pay for any game modes. It was gamer paradise and we didn't even recognize it back then. We live in a gaming dystopia now
