I don't know why they down-voted you. The pitch, if any, for fuchia, wouldn't stand muster outside Google. Clearly, some folks benefit from "burning through a lot of cash", "spearheading the effort", and "padding their resume(s)"
I don't know if you see the irony in your arguments. You demonize capitalism in another comment to me, and argue here that another take that requires a LOT of funding is a "nice to have".
Do you realize that this "nice to have" is made possible by the deep coffers of Google, whose existence is owed to capitalism?
Whether its put together by Google, or the community, or whoever, really doesn't matter. Yes in this case it's Google, who does exist due to capitalism (not exclusively due to capitalism, though, as other systems work in other countries), but then capitalism is not the only economic or political system that produces 'deep coffers'. And this 'nice to have' is not build-able exclusively by Google.
By your logic anyone born to a family where the parents have U.S. employment would owe their existence to capitalism. Does that instinctively seem correct?
