If he’d had any insight, he’d have realized Reddit’s structure wasn’t a good vehicle for monetization and gone the way of Wikipedia/Jimmy Wales. He’d be popular and respected now and probably able to extract a decent living from it.

But his insistence that a square peg be pounded into a round hole will end up with him being neither popular nor respected—and he’ll never sniff that moonshot IPO.

I was referring to Toyota’s strategy being cynical, not the comment.

Traditionally true, but I think they see the writing on the wall. They are now just breaking as much stuff as they can in the time that they have, so they can try to blame Labour for the fallout. They can break more things with a few extra months.

It’s depressing how cynical that is.

I think at this point they know they’re done for, so they’re going to finish breaking everything they’ve been underfunding for years and then gear up to blame Labour for the fallout.

Like how our 4 year old refers to the tv as the iPad on the wall.

War letze Woche Dienstag in London, Mittwoch bis Freitag in Edinburgh, Samstag bis Montag in Alicante, gestern Abend einen späten Heimflug der auch noch verspätet startete, bin heute um Mittag aufgewacht, hatte keine Ahnung wo ich war.
