Only if my company was in the business of breaking new ground, i.e. scientific discovery or innovative engineering. That's why the likes of Alphabet and Facebook have research divisions (including for things rather far afield from their core money-making products): to give execs and talent a greater sense of purpose and to create/develop important stuff.

You have to watch Comcast, though. Does the quoted rate include their local station rebroadcast fee? Their "sports fee"? These two together were something like $14/month -- and not disclosed in the price of any package -- when I finally dropped their scammy ass about 16 months ago. PLUS any boxes you may or may not have to use.

Surprised to find myself with cataracts at my age, HN is so much more readable as presented here, comparable in improvement to viewing it under dark mode.
More importantly, by providing the lead/lede, I've found a few more pieces to read that I didn't know I wanted to read just from the headline.
