Thou assumeth too much. I am neither fat, nor inactive. I am able to keep cholesterol at manageable levels by daily swimming and my wife's healthy cooking. (i make sure i don't eat more calories than i expend) However, this has turned swimming/cycling into a chore and most meals into a joyless necessity. If I could have the pleasure of juicy meats without the calories, I'd pay premium for it.

Comment Re: Linux app support (Score 3, Insightful) 30

Only temporarily. Remember that chromebooks only get 5 years of support. Then you're supposed to throw them in the ocean and buy a new one. On top of that, only a subgroup gets android app support, of which only a subgroup gets linux container support. The fragmentation is as bad as on android. F*ck em. I have chromebooks at home and i love them, but my 5 years of support are almost over. The hardware is capable but planned to be obsolete. I'll give Neverware Cloudready a go when that happens but ive tried it elsewhere and there are some bits missing + it's not meant for chromebooks.

Company my friend worked for had a similar problem with cheating a standards body. In the end, company was fined and no single person/team was found guilty. Lower level employees were shifting blame one level up, upper level said it wasn't even a decision just a team issued directive to reach a milestone, programmers said it started as a test that never went away, CEO claimed he was under too much pressure from shareholders (to be able to stop it once he learned about it).

Unless you are willing to fine shareholders who only care about quarterly results, this will keep happening. Everybody will say they were trying to protect their job.
