> Every company I've worked at has used open source code. Only one of them open sourced their code.

Did they have code worth distributing and opening for contribution? It seems like most code I encounter in enterprise environments doesn't really fit those needs.

Completely synthetic, no, but I think that overlooks a lot.
Seems like a good start, but there are a lot of interesting offerings in the introduction that really don't exist in the content so far.

Maybe finishing one of the more advanced chapters would be enough to lure people who are more experienced to check back on progress / pay / whatever you want traffic for.

There isn't some magic bar of comprehension or indecipherable encoding. People will gravitate to acquire what they desire, regardless of prereqisites.
What, and mandate you have some authorization to maintain your ability to access software or to use electronics of any sort that doesn't have a compliant application store?

13% of the population is on opioids, 6% are on gabaergic/genics, and 17% are on monoamine reuptake inhibitors of some form. There is plenty of room to grow.
Dunno, I have used both since I was like 13. Also, we used to weld and do all sorts of things (acetylene torching, lathe, casting, grinding, sawing, milling) mostly unsupervised with very little instruction in middle/high school metal shop. I don't remember any accidents.

many make that because of massive information asymmetry. they are players in a giant con game that is engulfing the world. to some, there is more to life than bartering.
Things were fine in my locality, and in the vast majority of localities across the country.

Say you want to move sentiment around some idea. If you can manipulate the volume and direction of sentiment around that idea, say by green lighting a targeted segment of known dummy traffic (sock puppets, whatever), promoting certain posts above others, etc, you could potentially achieve that goal.

I think twitter, like others in its genre, has potential as a interface for mass manipulation or enchantment, and anyone who would "own" it outright, in its current form, is likely dangerous.

What is your point then? Ethanol is a short-lived gabaergic anxiolytic.
