I generally agree with what you're saying and the first half of your answer makes perfect sense but I think the second is unfair (i.e. "[is it] easier to balance a barrel on a plank or a plank on a barrel"). It's a trick question and "it" tried to answer in good faith.

If you were to ask the same question of a real person and they replied with the exact same answer you could not conclude that person was not capable of "actual reasoning". It's a bit of witch-hunt question set to give you the conclusion you want.

Ironically, the Figma tagline is "Nothing great is made alone"

> So what exactly is left for a corporate tax to collect?

£220bn in profit last year.

It's in the headline.

Agree it's incalculable, I don't mean that in the "it's too big of a number" sort of way but in the "we can't possibly know" kind of way:

1) The scale and depth of the disruption makes it impractical to figure in any kind of accurate way and

2) The disruption will have introduced hypotheticals that nay spiral out themselves (butterfly effect style) e.g. some retailer may have lost a customer who went elsewhere, some supplier may have lost a retailer who went elsewhere, etc

> Btw, anyone who lets FB that close to their eyeballs is a stone cold moron at this point. They couldn’t be trusted to run an online photo album, giving them the ability to actually control your sense of reality is nightmarishly awful.

This is a bizarre couple of sentences. I don't think you understand the technology _at all_.

Firstly, it doesn't really matter how close the screen is to your eyes. Try moving your phone closer to your face or do you trust the app that you're about to let your eyes get closer to?

Secondly, it doesn't have the ability to control your sense of reality. At least, not any more than seeing a movie in a cinema does.

The thing is, I actually agree with your second sentence but only in the context of their social media platforms i.e. silently building echo chambers around users, experiments with shaping of user's emotional state and political opinions, etc.

Ryanair did the exact same thing.

There are still a lot of extremely useful JQuery plugins and widgets with JQuery as a dependency.

Which google services are you using? Is it just the map widget?

If he just continues on and loses one or more stars then, no matter how public he is about the restaurant's change of direction, it will be widely regarded as a demotion. Opening a second, more informal eatery might not appeal to him for any number of valid reasons.

It seems reasonably clear that the ongoing cost in terms of anxiety and, to some extent, the freedom to change or loosen up things is simply not worth the accolade to him anymore. The article states: "because of the huge pressure of being judged on every dish he serves... and the anxiety over Michelin’s anonymous food judges, who could arrive at his restaurant at any moment... “You’re inspected two or three times a year, you never know when. Every meal that goes out could be inspected. That means that, every day, one of the 500 meals that leaves the kitchen could be judged. “Maybe I will be less famous but I accept that,” he said, adding that he would continue to cook excellent local produce “without wondering whether my creations will appeal to Michelin’s inspectors”."

So, he's quitting on his own terms. Assuming it's not a rash decision borne from burn-out or some temporary phase or state of mind then I think it's admirable.

But blowing the cart and hoping it would work was part of the fun.

I hope (and assume) it could be updated somehow though e.g. usb or micro sd

Yes, that's exactly the point I was making. It's why you need to be able to view them as temporary roles you are playing and not what you are or all you are.
