Just glancing through the qmail GitHub repository gave me a headache. Plenty of files have 0 comments (not really sure where you see the clearly stated assumptions). In addition, he seems obsessed with 1 letter variables which offer no inclination of their purpose at a glance.

Yawn. Just another "free"-to-play app masquerading as a game in order to take as much money as possible from gullible people.

Fortunately, what you believe doesn't dictate reality.

What a bizarre world we live in where willful violations of a legally binding license (a license which attempts to keep knowledge in the open) is considered nothing more than a "calculated risk."

Can you please elaborate on the "wisdom of the language" and why you feel it's necessary to ignore all criticism?

I hope you realize that Google's "ad" revenues aren't only from people seeing ads. They also use the tracking information of how you use products.

It isn't silly to assume considering that an overwhelming majority of Google's revenue comes directly from advertisements.
As for self driving cars, I can think of a ton of marketing use cases including tracking how often people drive, where they go, how long they stay there, the frequency in which someone goes to a location, what type of features in the car the user takes advantage of...
And that's just from the top of my head in 30 seconds. I'm sure the marketing kids at Google can think of far more ways to milk you.

I believe it's necessary to repeat this point because of the constant churn of new users who are otherwise ignorant of Google's business model. I still hear people say, "I'm so glad Google is nice enough to give us free apps!"

Don't make claims unless you're prepared to provide the source. It's not anyone's responsibility but your own should you put forth said claim.

How is this story similar? It's not even related to the topic.

By "some people", I assume that you mean many of the most popular http-based servers and frameworks.

You're right, they're not lost. Instead, they're hidden and obfuscated behind multiple layers of menus instead of just being there.

That's a really poor excuse. Healthy meals can be just as hands off as TV dinners and french fries.
1. chicken breast 2. broccoli 3. noodles 4. some sort of oil 5. salt
Put all of the above in a pan, stir it around, cook (covered or uncovered, play with it) for about 7-13 minutes.
Try different mixtures. Try different lengths of time. You don't even have to watch it unless you're concerned that your range might explode or something.
