Edison was DEFINITELY not unique or new in how he was a shithead looking for money more than inventing useful things... Like, at all.

Yes, if you factor in the source of disposable culture: capitalism.

"Move fast and break things" is the software equivalent of focusing solely on quarterly profits.

Definitely part of it. The other part is soooo many companies hire shit idiots out of college. Sure, they have a degree, but they've barely understood the concept of deep logic for four years in many cases, and virtually zero experience with ANY major framework or library.

Then, dumb management puts them on tasks they're not qualified for, add on that Agile development means "don't solve any problem you don't have to" for some fools, and... the result is the entire industry becomes full of functionally idiots.

It's the same problem with late-stage capitalism... Executives focus on money over longevity and the economy becomes way more tumultuous. The industry focuses way too hard on "move fast and break things" than making quality, and ... here we are, discussing how the industry has become shit.

No, they're pointing out the chilling effect of shitting on the topic.

You're the kind of fuckwit that would say Chris Hansen does no good against predators because he's one guy doing a small set of stings... You're the kind of guy who'd shit on a compromise policy that's otherwise still a step in the right direction. You're the kind of guy to make good the enemy of great.

and you have the gall to use insults when YOU are the one committing the social faux pas...

Pathetic. If you're going to point out flaws, be constructive with it. Otherwise it is still on YOU if someone assumes negative intent from unconstructive criticism.

It would definitely be a bit more annoying to program, and a bit more naggy to the user for permissions during setup I'm sure, and running in the background would take some finagling and extra work and iOS could still kill it in the background on you ... but otherwise it'd be the same.

Apple fans are not that type of person, though. They're better than everyone else, and so is their owning entity! They can do no wrong, this app was obviously guilty of doxxing cops ...

Yea, hence my last sentence. The solution isn't to excuse them but to realize the full scope of the problem, and how it is very engrained in society. A great step would be to stop allowing willfully inept people any power in the first place.

You wish. Doctors do worse than this all the time. Sure, not in formal papers submitted to a government, but so many GPs will blame every problem on someone being fat or diabetic or insert random trivial knowledge they retained from school instead of using actual critical thinking skills...

Many doctors do not deserve their licenses.
