They don't plow into the ground. They enter it in a perfect vertical akin to top Olympic divers, and to claim any less is libel

Musk is an idiot who bought Twitter stock, tried to pump and dump, waived due diligence as part of the pump, and found himself contractually obligated to buy the company. Everything since then is what Musk thinks are good ideas.

We can and do. GPS satellites need to be regularly calibrated to Earth clock signals or they'll start to drift their calibration by meters per day.

It's kind of an old concept. The idea is that truly new discoveries, like new theories and inventions rather than expansions or extensions, mostly happen by serendipity. So if you have more people churning ideas you get a higher probability of winning serendipity.

It did though? I don't know what point you think you're making but the internet did in fact grow from a technology limited to universities and the armed forces to a publicly accessible network, mostly off the back of publicly funded researchers and various techies that started their own neighborhood ISPs.

Ehhh, not really. If showing 10,000 people an ad costs you $10 and even one person made a purchase off that, you've paid for the ad buy. Internet ad conversions are considered unbelievably excellent if 1% of viewers click on the ad and 1% of those people make a purchase.

Also, if you don't advertise, then your competition that do advertise are going to eat your lunch.

I've got a Windows desktop and a MacBook. For the life of me I cannot figure out why coding on the desktop feels like ass.
