Some wars for public opinion, are lost and won on social media.

Those who post quickest have a higher chance of not getting lost in the noise and that is where bots will probably be used first by individuals as well.

With that said, hopefully this not the future and new ways of moderating and presenting information will be invented, but the way things are now, it's a slug-fest and the fastest and loudest often wins.

I can think of couple of reasons:

1. as a public company, they are afraid to lose so many accounts - see Netflix as an example on what could happen to their stock

2. bots are the future, at some point I think everyone will have a bot to post for them

What drew me to Horizon EDA was that it has interactive router (based on code from KiCad) with push and shove functions. It also has straightforward interface, and it's fast. Recently ODB++ support was added, probably the first (and only?) for open source EDA.

I wish it had ready to use footprints (other than basic resistors, caps, etc), especially from LCSC catalogue.

I would imagine it actually looks even worse since low-mid tier laptops can only display 60% sRGB.

"the new study provides valuable clues about the potential for short-term epigenetic inheritance to influence longer-term evolution, too."

Chemistry is different but mechanism is pretty universal, across the species.

Networking and collaboration is hard to substitute though. As to the costs, looking for a substitute to college because it's expensive it's like treating a symptom rather than the cause.

4. There are companies that will not even consider an applicant w/o BA degree, no matter what experience (HR filters).

Anyway, in large measure, we are only talking how college is not for everyone because it's so expensive. It's fine to have alternatives but education needs to be more accessible to those that want it.
