Is it a big deal? I have no idea. It’s just one of those details that you hear and you’re like, “Yeah that sounds like a likely thing to happen with these guys.” Yeah it is a stretch but it should be reported on. The article ends with ”Is it a big deal? I have no idea. It’s just one of those details that you hear and you’re like, ‘Yeah that sounds like a likely thing to happen with these guys.’”

Remember when they said it was about their freedom to choose? When they said they’re problem was that its not right to force it onto people? Obviously lies and bullshit then, but what’s the argument here?

Like seriously, what’s the argument against letting people choose? Isn’t that what you wanted? Because when there is tons of evidence that vaccines are good and safe, you can still choose to not have them. So, hypothetically, if that flipped and they were able to get some “evidence” vaccines are bad and dangerous, wouldn’t it still be your right to choose? Just like it was their right to choose, even when it shouldn’t have been.

It goes without saying, obviously hypocrisy, but holy shit. And the unfortunate thing is that it is much easier to prevent vaccines than it is to supply them.

Just my two cents but as others have said, not being publically traded helps a lot. The focus on short term benefits that come with shareholders stops “master plans” when they come with mistakes. Learning from relative failures, like the steam controller and the like, ultimately contributes to major successes like the steam deck. Being able to stay committed to improving the software experience over time, instead of killing the product when it didn’t immediately succeed, is fairly rare in the tech industry. And in all honesty, it would be better if they released a polished profuct, but being committed to it made it a success.

I feel like the pressure to have a majorly successful product day one means that smaller companies can’t innovate the way they want to, so they have to find other ways to produce revenue. Huge companies, like Apple can afford to do both but still stumble, like with the vision pro. Maybe it’ll be a success, but for now its not great and iteration makes it more difficult to maintain the original vision.

Assistant to the presidential Muskager. Terrible but it popped in my head
