SMS also comes with no deliverability or latency guarantees, and hard to scale globally as rules and regulations are different in every country. Acquiring IDs is slow and you need multiple for backup routes and different use cases.

Is it really indifference or are employees responding to incentives? Few places reward code performance. Companies are getting exactly what they pay for and missing a deadline to improve efficiency is irrational under current comp strategies.

By this reasoning there is a magical window where a person is old enough to understand the consequences of their actions yet young enough for it not to be abuse. What happens at 18 to say that corporeal punishment is no longer effective and legal? By that reasoning should corpreal punishment be allowed in the workplace?

Why couldn't the post office act as a trusted intermediary and verify what was in the package for a small fee.

Training for long distance running is not a goal most people have. Discussions about endurance training and improving health of "normal" people are not the same discussion.

One of the largest challenges for regular people is finding 45-90 minutes to exercise in the first place. Research on shortening the length of time required for effective exercises is a worthwhile pursuit.

>> Doesn't it make sense to open source code when you know the product is dying?

That can depend on how much of the code base is their own. If they integrated any licensed components then they may not have the resources necessary to clean it up for release.
