  • I’ve too have tried giving stuff away for free and I always the worst experience, unappreciative people who want to manipulate any way they can, or no show etc.

    But when I post it for a low price it completely removes that group and suddenly I get nice people who have wanting this thing for so long but struggled to afford it and they will go out of their way to meet up. Usually I just giving it to them free after they’ve been so easy to work with and their mind gets blown. They show initiative, they work hard for what they want and get rewarded for it. This is the way.







  • The downloads aren’t unencrypted, you can’t play them with any media player. Only their app can decrypt and play it. Has nothing to do with ripping them all in the month, you can do that without downloading them at all and just stream them to rip them.

    The point of limiting it to 30 is to prevent someone from downloading them all to their device and then disconnecting the device from the internet permanently so you can have them forever. You’d have to do some date manipulation too in the operating system to keep the app from knowing your subscription actually expired.








  • Amazon is one of the most evil companies on the planet and yet it’s not on your list but Costco is? Gonna have to completely disagree with you. Costco is probably one of if not the best company in the fortune 500. They operate and live by their code ethics to do the right thing. They’ve never ever had a lay off of employees, they treat people right.

    You called them out for a subscription model, yet don’t understand what they are offering at all. What store can you shop at that offers products at zero margin? Costco’s yearly net profit is the number of members times the membership cost. Their entire business profit is only the $100 membership fee per person. That’s all they want to make from each person.

    Edit: And then you have Amazon. Where they use people and dump them. Have a vulturistic operating model. They literally have meetings and design their software to trick people into buying at a higher cost. They’ll manipulate anyone anyway they see fit to make as much money as possible from them. They sell stolen and counterfeit products and they know it, they just let it happen because validating products would cost them money. They’d rather just say sorry if you catch them and give a refund.




  • Do you have lidar on your head? No, yet you’re able to drive with just two cameras on your face. So no lidar isn’t required. Not that driving in a very dynamic world isn’t very difficult for computers to do, it’s not a matter of if, it’s just a matter of time.

    Would lidar allow “super human” driving abilities? Like seeing through fog and in every direction in the dark, sure. But it’s not required for the job at hand.
