Unfortunately that tends to already happen. Gentrification pushes populations out as rent and property taxes increase. I'm honestly not sure how this is different and it seems like this may, as you pointed out, make gentrification worse.

It is as of yet unclear if software will reach that long term profitability. Video games certainly can have it though. I've purchased copies of games which were coded before I was born. Tech is still a young and growing industry where we find new use cases every day. As this slows and as software is perfected this may change. If someone designs the perfect email app it may just be able to run in steady state for decades. We haven't seen that but it may be a reality at some point in the next two decades.

I just found him on Friday and lost the weekend. I can definitely say that his passion is infectious and makes the topics far more interesting.

Harder to use automated tools to correlate the account and the information I'd guess

There is an absolutely wild range in data structures courses. A lot of colleges merge data structures and algorithms and some do each separately. I went to one with them separate and we focused on the application because we had time to. I can't imagine that we could have actually covered complexity if we were doing both in one semester.

Even with those if you sort their products by price the higher cost ones have a subtler logo because you're right, it does cheapen the product. The higher cost/higher end from these brands are basically a separate company with a shared name.

The lower cost ones have the logo because that's how the people you're around will know. The higher cost ones don't have the logo because the people around you will recognize quality.

Similarly high end consumer brands like Gucci don't blast their labels on their high end products. The cheap stuff is cheap because you become a walking billboard. The expensive stuff is expensive because you just paid for quality. That's even within one company so your point is even more extreme across an industry.

They're often also slow to market. They weren't the first search engine, they weren't the first email platform, they weren't the first video site, but now they're the biggest in those categories. I think Bard's growth will be very interesting to watch given that track record.

Or it'll get dropped within a year.

I'm sure there are other types of scams too right?

I'd say it's pretty crappy ui if a new user can't immediately identify what's causing the beeping. If I'm in car going highway speeds and it starts yelling at me not knowing what to do will result in a more dangerous situation.

Tech workers. I know a ton of tech people who buy Teslas because it's a status thing and you want to be seen driving the new cool tech.

I like the one I'm in but only because it's a condo. The HOA deals with the shared spaces, pipes, and outward doors. Unfortunately this is likely coming to an end. Recently the board president has decided that the two unit maximum ownership is a bad idea, removed that rule, and bought an additional 15 units.

HOA's have a place but that space is narrow and people like to push out of that space when they get an ounce of power.

I can say that I didn't agree with it. But that's what lead devs were pushing. The common mentality among devs is that releasing is more important than building something sustainable.

I think we need to move past the first to market model and assume a best in market model. Allow things to reach peak usability then maintain them. Add security features and new usability when it's discovered but let a good product make you money.

I will say that money can buy morals. I hate what Amazon stands for but worked for them until recently. They pay well enough that I have been able to live the life I want in the city I like without worry. Did I contribute to a company I'm morally opposed to? Sure, but the impact on my day to day life made was bigger than the day to day moral issues.

When working at these places, it's never one big thing. Each project that erodes something is a fun problem to solve and you never see the total impact. Your part is so small it's not doing any harm! And then put those all together and you've got the things this post talks about.
