Alternatively, i bought my Google phone for 1000 dollars 3 years ago and get zero updates now. That's pretty sorry.

You're probably right, whether we have free will or not, we still cannot tell the future, so we should act as if we have it. This poster is clearly conflating their own life situation, which might limit them somehow, with the universe at large. I could get divorced and disown my son and run off to another place to start another life, but I "can't" do that because of my own morals and limitations for what I'm willing to do. The OP could do a similar thing, but chooses not to because of whatever thing is limiting then from that decision.

Same here. I used to have to borrow, steal, or buy content, but now for about 50 bucks a month i can subscribe to a few services and get all the tv, games, and music I want. Until that changes considerably, I'm fine with the status quo.

Wanna give some examples or are you just dog-whistling?

The USG could kill it by using a 51 percent attack; the NSA must have rows upon rows of servers that could be repurposed for a week or two to destroy the market. Split the blockchain every couple of hours into several different versions, eventually there would be little chance to reconcile things.

Imagine an SSD serving up query responses! I love it.

I think we know that America isn't healthy in any respect right now. Part of that is we don't think it's necessary to take care of each other.

It's called loyalty, it goes both ways, but American companies don't understand it today. You shouldn't just treat people like a tool or equipment like American companies tend to. Sometimes people need something from the company and the company provides, then in return the employee works harder when they can.

That's a bad thing why? These people are just taking care of the people who take care of them and their kids. It seems logical to me.

I'm a former SWO qualified Naval officer, as stated elsewhere I believe. I vouched your comment just to reply, because it's important to be correct. I'm not going into details about anything else, I've gone into detail elsewhere about this topic already.
