Bulverism

I wouldn’t even know what to Google, though. The feature is that it accepts a vague and borderline useless input.

I haven’t realized it yet. I sometimes find myself able to describe what I want a program to do, but don’t know which libraries to use.

Only if you don’t tell the boss

Oh shit my physical mailbox

We don’t have to watch the whole video, just the intro credits.

To be fair, their main competition is Microsoft.

Corporations shouldn’t be allowed to buy each other

Abolish the corporate veil. People are accountable for their own actions, corporations are not real. They can buy liability insurance. And if that insurance is too expensive, then the market has spoken and you shouldn’t do it.

A month’s worth of business is probably more expensive than having it cleaned.
