Haven't made a game changing device since Steve Jobs? The Apple Watch completely dominates that product category. There is no alternative that can even compare.

Well, apparently it wasn't enough.

The thing that blows my mind is that they only spend around $60k developing it. Steyer and Bloomberg have spent 400 million dollars combined on ads in South Carolina. Couldn't any of the several billionaires that support the Democrats have kicked down a couple hundred grand for this at least? Even Epstein randomly handed out 100k checks to profs at MIT. It's not that much money for these people.

Best line: "It's not a conspiracy, it's a community".

That sure can be applied to a lot of things in this world.

Re:Democrats Declined DHS Offer to Test Caucus App on Tuesday February 04, 2020 @02:32PM (#22239944)
Does anyone know if they hired out of work coal miners to work on the app? After all these are the same people telling everyone to learn to code when their job gets shipped overseas. If it was just some connected tech bros from elite schools making this thing, then this outcome is quite pathetic, but if it really was 50 year old miners who did a 12 week bootcamp, I'm more likely to cut them some slack.

Sorry man, but if you have to consciously try to behave differently, it's over. Forcing yourself to be authentic is by definition inauthentic. There is no escape, my friend.
