Everyone learns differently with a combination of what you mentioned. visual aids, auditory aids, reading. There is no secret to learning only that you are consistent.

There are times that a technical manual comes along and there is a need to go off into the bowels of other technical information that is also provided and that to me does not help in any way. I must learn what I set my eyes out to learn and nothing more. The rest comes naturally as I begin to experiment and running into the same learning curve as others. That is when I begin to dig a little deeper. Again with all of the aids available, visual audio, reading and experimenting, until I feel that I have a strong grasp on that specific subject.

There is no secret, the only thing I suggest is to stay on it, and stay consistent. The more you do it the more understanding you will get. There is truth behind "practice makes perfection".

I am hoping this is just an introductory set, and if the demand is there they would make a bigger one. I am with you. I want a detailed set. 3000+ pieces

sure, but Chrome has the power of Google behind it and that makes the browser more attractive because users feel that if the browser comes from the search engine company they already use then it must be compatible with everything they do online. This is a perception which gives Chrome an advantage over other browsers.

It's a bit of a monopoly that Google has on the browser market and so now they have leverage over what gets approved and implemented in those browsers.

Since most people use Chrome then other browsers are forced to follow suit with compatibility.

In this highly competitive industry, you cannot expect someone to just stand up and demand to not be exploited when they can be simply fired and replaced within minutes. So no, it is not as simple as just growing a spine.

Based on the recent article by Jason Schreier (Kotaku) about the complete disaster of Anthem game development, it puts into light the mismanagement and the exploitation of these developers to churn out games as if it were a factory floor with little time and pressured to deliver.

These developers are talented but you can only do so much with that talent when you have no time to demonstrate that talent and are being asked very unreasonable demands to deliver. Only to deliver a half baked product and asking their customers to dish-out $60+ to be a "beta" tester for a company racking up billions.

This unionization is a must. This exploitation has to stop.

> collective action problems where coordination benefits every company in a way that individual action wouldn't

Remember we are talking about Capitalist corporations that answer to investors.

Your point is great if there is an incentive to only benefit the consumer. The benefit in this case is to maximize profit at all cost. Profit creed(not greed) is to ingrained the need to maximize profit. Because of that, greed is the ultimate driver against achieving 'self regulation', hence the reason why we have gov regulations in the first place.

Necessity is the mother of all inventions. I am glad to see some are skipping politics and actually trying to solve this with some intelligence.

c'mon lets get real, 'Self Regulating' means someone actually has to be honest of something but as long as there is profit to be made, honesty takes a back seat.

Here is how I pictured it going.

> operator: "911 what is your emergency?"

> "...........Hello, I need assistance??"

> operator "Sir, Sir. Do you need help?"

> "........... YES I am here, Who is this? ......."

> operator: "Sir, we began tracing your call and are on the way.... wait... Sir what is your current location"

> "uuuummmmmm.... well about 2000 km up..... Sorry dialed the wrong number..." hung up

> operator: ".....???"

isn't day dreaming fun? LOL
