The flip side is that I'm also free to become wildly successful, and society won't hammer me down like a nail.
Well, that does it. You are tossed out of the Democrat Party. Repeat after me:
There is a secret cabal of Jeff Bezos/Elon Musk/Donald Trump clones that conspire to hold you down.
Got an alternate link that doesn't divert me to ads for cheap watches and flea-bag condo units?
Some private market funds that are already available to wealthier individual investors have shown signs of strain in recent months. Private credit funds known as business development companies have seen a wave of withdrawals.
You can't really expect rich people to sell into a market that isn't buying.
You can't analyze code without experience. Junior people can't understand without having DONE stuff.
This. Constructive thinking is like searching a problem space using good heuristics. To quickly recognize and reject the blind paths and pursue the productive ones. Practice is what produces and re-enforces these heuristics.
You've got to do repeated design, build, test loops to get good. Problem with AI to date: It's up to you to "spot the hallucinations". So that learning loop is split between the AI and the developer. Nobody "gets good".

Funny. I thought they all ended in BSOD.
Browsers can be installed by a user. Nothing stopping your kid from downloading his own copy and configuring it as he sees fit. Put that function in the kernel and it's more difficult (but not impossible) to circumvent.
Those are both the same stalker troll, I've seen it post over a dozen replies to a single post of mine, pretty much all pro-US propaganda. A lot of its post are just bot-like, and may be a poorly programmed bot, but the rest indicate a truly pitiful life. It may be the same one who stalks rsilvergun, although not quite as fanatically.
The 'Business Ethics' classes are what taught the up and coming execs that ROI, share price, and quarterly results are the only thing that matters.
That by itself is no mean feat of engineering.
If the cartridge detects that the user has more than three teeth, it refuses to work.

They've demonstrated it doesn't really matter whether you call it a king or a president, it's how much power you give them.
There's an object lesson here for all the people who have been pushing for the mommy government. Sometimes you get an assole, abusive trailer park mommy.
Philips and Bell had executives who had come up through the ranks, knew their industry, and intended to stay with the company long term. Today's executives are uniformly MBAs and lawyers who have spent their entire careers hopping from one job to another in a game of 'Executive Musical Chairs', bumping up quarterly profits with short term fixes to ensure their bonuses, hoping to not be in the corner office when the music stops and the results of their bad decisions tanks the company. What interest do they have in long term investment when by the time it bears fruit someone else will be reaping the benefits?
When my wife started working at Target the CEO had started on the sales floor three decades earlier, by 2010 there wasn't a single person in the executive offices who had ever worked at a low level retail job. The entire company was being run by people who had no idea what the employees who kept it functioning day to day actually did, and the decisions coming from Minneapolis showed it.
I put an awful lot of the blame on the introduction of the 'Business Ethics' courses in the '70s, and the flood of MBAs with no real-world employment experience in the '80s. When you have guys that have never worked a day in their lives (and six figures of debt) coming in to manage businesses about which they know little to nothing, having been erroneously taught that their one and only duty is to enrich shareholders, it's a recipe for disaster. Then combine that with executive pay plans hyper-focused on quarterly returns, and the resulting meltdown was utterly predictable and unfortunately unavoidable.
First, as someone else stated, a DSP is generally a business. Not an individual. That said, I do know some people who have incorporated themselves just to get around the whole "We deal with businesses, not individuals" rules.
But then, it comes down to what contract terms Amazon offers DSPs. Certainly, nobody in their right mind* is going to partner with Amazon for a price that won't cover their expenses. Rural areas with high fuel costs per delivery will bid more for their service. Or not sign up. Amazon, if they are not dumb as rocks, will add this variable cost to the bottom line of each purchase. After all, they are not the USPS with universal service written into law.
*Uber/Lyft will make a liar out of me. There are people living on the edge of poverty for the opportunity to buy a car, insurance, fuel and maintenance just to chauffeur some zoomers around.
I wish you humans would leave me alone.
