You mean like the one that died at an early age recently.
Perhaps it was natural causes. But I wonder.

Unions *CAN* call management. But if they're run by MBAs, they won't do it for the right reasons.
Profit, as a motivational force, is ethically neutral. It can be either good or bad. Boeing has made it chaotic evil.
For and example of "good profit motivation" look at HP in the 1960's-70's.
The problem is that something that is ethically neutral AND is a motivational force is quite easy to corrupt. And we've seen that happen repeatedly.
Tablets can have keyboards attached, apple even sells official keyboards for the ipad. Typing on these is no more difficult than a laptop keyboard.
A tablet with its official keyboard sold separately tends to be more expensive than an entry-level laptop.
Studying computer science is the very definition of a niche for geeks.
Several American public schools are experimenting with making the introduction to computer science course a requirement for high school graduation. (See "Should High Schools Require a CS Course Before Students Graduate?" from July 2023.) If the operating system of a tablet is inadequate for a student to complete a course required for graduation, that makes the tablet less valuable to a high school student.
You left out paying off blackmail.
He said "relatively". Perhaps he just really thinks the blockchain is public. Paypal MAY publicize your data, the blockchain will.
(FWIW, I've no experience with either, but that's what I think his argument is.)
LLMs have no direct perception of the world. They can't even understand in the normal sense. They are a necessary PART of a real AI (that wants to work with humans).
Well...it *is* useful as a model of human language...at least *some* human language. The problem will come if it starts copying the reasoning.
Nah. What it should be called is Gossip. Just like real gossip, but without the need for personal involvement.
*facepalm* SDL is not C.
Nor is Pillow Python. However, Pillow routinely has significant changes from one major version to the next. Installing a newer version of Pillow than some system package expects could easily break that package. (This is why PEP 668 happened.) Likewise, installing from source a newer major version of a library than some C program expects could break that library.
HTTP has the "If-Modified-Since" request header, which instructs a server to process a request only if the requested document has changed since the provided date. It also has the "If-None-Match" request header, which does the same thing for "ETag" values.
(I did not use the <code> element in this post where the HTML spec states that I should have because Slashdot issued a diagnostic "Filter error: Invalid HTML tag usage".)
I don't understand how C is any different in this way. SDL major versions 1, 2, and 3 all have serious breaking changes.
You are overgeneralizing from one exceptional example. For many being a slave was a slow death sentence...and not that slow. Most never escaped from slavery. A few did. A very few did, and were later successful.
OTOH, it was less uniform than later "S of the Mason-Dixon line" (and even that was more varied that stories suppose).
You are failing to distinguish between "this particular slave" and "slaves in general". Slaves in general lead miserable lives. A few particular slaves lived quite well.
Slavery is unfair and immoral, but also widespread. It even exists among ants. This is because in many circumstances it is to the advantage of those who are powerful. And decisions are never made with the consideration of the goals of the slave as a primary desideratum. But this doesn't mean that it is never to the advantage of the slave.
That particular slave? Possibly. Slaves in general?
Always try to do things in chronological order; it's less confusing that way.
