It seems more likely that the rubes are the ones who fail to grasp the value of work in ones life.

There may be some disparity in what it means to live comfortably.

Just another step along the march to the 'you don't own your property's mindset.

The problem may be we'll within the FBI domain but their resolution crosses some boundaries that are meant to be protected. To pull this off the FBI would need to use a general warrant rather than a specific warrant as required by law.

In your examples none of them invole solving problems that you would not be unaware of, in ways that you're not aware of without telling you they were there and oh btw they had to rifle through your undwrware drawer to fix it.

This was so well written I actually believe the author is an angry 12 year old trying hard to be as dramatic as possible while 3xplaining how these scenarios will have no impact on their stated target.

This seems like a solution to a problem that nobody had.

Cortina debuted on Windows Phone 8 before windows 10 was even announced. At the time it was an impressive assistance with capabilities Siri and Google Assistant couldn't touch. After it's impressive debut though it was all down hill from there.

I can only take it the aybyou wrote it regardless of the intent.

The 3xperi3nce and mentorship are obviously important to your success but it's popular for people to try and rely solely on those because it is less effort than learning the mechanics of the subject and often allows people to place rhe blame for their failures on others.

If you want to master something you need both the academics and the experience. Either of them alone leaves you at a disadvantage.

I think you've nailed the point that they missed. You do not always get to do what you already love, especially when you have responsibilities, family etc. What you can do though is what you suggest, learn to love what you do. Which usually starts with being competent at it.

This is pretty vapid advice. Setting aside the absurdity of the idea that you need to decide whether you can like a type of work before you're capable of doing it you've not answered OP's question to any degree.

If you have any experience with the field that allows you to answer OP's question please offer that rather than this feel good nonsense.

This theory and academic prep that you dismiss is actually pretty damned important. It lays the foundation upon which the experience becomes valuable. What you've suggested is taking the lazy way out on the premise that you don't really need to understand any of it as long as you can muddle through doing enough of it. It is not very good advice.

I do agree that experience is important but experience on top of knowledge is much more valuable.

What I find really irritating aren't the for fee services but the hybrids that want to charge a fee and show you ads without any appreciable change in service.

"Competitors can only grow so fast, infrastructure takes time to scale, communities take time to organize and build"

Are you using an IT structure from the 1990's? Are you funding it using mail in contributions?

If not the only restriction on how fast a platform can grow is entirely down to how fast it can draw attention and acceptance from the masses.

If I'm being honest here these other platforms are a significantly smaller threat to reddit than reddit is. The way the platform reward low value posts and punish any dissenting opinions in discussion threads does more damage to their brands than any wpuld be competitor.

If I went on a holiday for two weeks and came back I wouldn't be able to tell you if there's still a reddit. That's how unimportant reddit has become over the last couple of years.

Perhaps. It is also a comparison that ignores the non-emission advantages ICE and hybrids have over BEVs.
