well yes, my point is its easier to award merit - and appreciate - a film that tries despite limited resources and fails to be great vs a company like disney that has all the resources in the world
despite being not being a great film, per se, AV Club seemed to very much appreciate it's DIY ethos and laudable handicraft
yes, the US is investing in being awesome by legislating having to repeat "I'm awesome" as often as possible, making saying "I'm not awesome" come with real consequences
let's see how it works out
it's not like there won't be another one
You're willing to bet your billions that the "another one" will be within a time frame that wouldn't make it a money losing choice?
You and rightwingnutjob should get a room. You can both tug it to the fantasy of the government surveilling it's own people.
I believe OP is skeptical that the decision to post reputational harm was fully agentic, or whether it was prompted to do so at the behest of whoever is hosting the agent.
I do that on the roof of my 2018 Elantra hatchback, just need two 2x4s notched over some crossbars, then strap your sheet goods to it. Granted the roof can only be loaded with two sheets but it's got me through some full bathroom renos.
They're cheap AF. After some performative smashing, Amazon backed down, and now you can buy a new one (+1 bonus point for consumerism!)

Like in this case the problem of 10 million Ring Doorbell owners is that 10 million Ring Doorbell owners are just find out about UniFi, buy a NAS, and replace their doorbells with Ubiquiti doorbells or cameras? (At like, generously speaking, 10 times the cost. Have fun running that PoE, grandma!)

No orchestration agent directed traffic.
In what world is a seller compensating for referrals if it's demonstrably provable to the customer (and hence the seller) that the referral bonus in no way influences the recommendation - or even the pool of options the recommendation is singled out from - provided to the user?
except "cheap food" in this case is not actually food
Lets ignore for a moment the fact that privately funding an addition to the White House invites all kinds of inappropriate opportunity for the sort of quid pro quo one would generally want to presumably not have ones government engaged in
The ballroom triples the square footage. Hosting gets more expensive, maintenance gets more expensive, heating gets, cleaning gets more expensive. Building a thing is not the only cost associated with that thing.
Found the guy who never gets invited anywhere
What does that have to do with *what* or *who* is reviewing your code? If you're submitting PRs to the kernel, you're way beyond the concern of being self-conscious about shit like that.
