Is it bad if the book is pirated and never read? I would bet a huge number of people pirate a book to have it and never read it.

I see a lot of reuse is good so it's all good. Do we know if the buyers of these reused shoes will recycle then when done or are these ending in a landfill? Because that's the ultimate issue here. Dow promised their end was not landfill.

Sounds like we don't purchase cameras anymore. We purchase a subscription to use the cameras until our subscription expires.

Can't argue with those points. I went too far and ended up leaving the field. :-)

I stand corrected.

It's technically correct that we need some animal products. The big one I can think of is crude oil. It's from animals long dead and also used to make plastics. Not sure if we count insects as animal products but the work of bees helps pollinate our crops. We don't eat the bees but we do take advantage of them and breed them to go around and pollinate crops.

This seems like a big flaw of crypto. Banks don't have their customers actual money. Crypto does. All that money in one place, under the control of a few, so tempting.

Just noting that if the healthcare system were better in the US there would not be any incentive for DF to get better quickly.
There has to be a good solution to the problem of productivity when all of one's needs are met.

The desktop version is buggy. The browser version works better. Don't even bother installing it. Just use the browser version.

A mobile company that wants so much of their users ID info. Is it really necessary for them to get all that user info?

You don't need a CS diploma but you need to know how to program. You'll get either a take home project or white board problems during the interview. If you can pass those, you aren't lazy, and you aren't a jerk you are hired.
