Evernote (the original offline app) was released in 2004:

You obviously have no idea if the creature has cognition of death and are simply speculating.

Yeah totally, neuroscience is "simple speculation"...

Reminds me of the bit in Twin Peaks when the cops take in a Parrot that witnessed a crime. Someone murders the Parrot to stop it from talking.

There’s a much worse version of this in an episode of Black Mirror.

I have doubts about the accuracy of this article. For one thing, products like Evernote Food probably didn't take much resources to build so aren't as big a deal as the article suggests. For another, the article doesn't mention the acquisition of Skitch and Penultimate, while chastising the company for a lack of vision. Those aquisitions might not have turned out well, but were more related to Evernote's core product than Evernote Market.

The managers of the corporation are not spending their money either, unless they own the corporation.

They're voluntarily authorized by the controlling interest of the people whose money it is.

In many cases the controlling interests are index and pension funds. Members of these funds do not get a say in political donations. Corporations are people spending other people's money with little consequence all the way down.

Humans don't need to eat meat.

That is so not true.

The universe will end eventually and our species will die. Dreaming of keeping the species going is kind of pointless.

I think the design of the TESLA is just meant to make you think "OOOOH it's so high tech, like an IPAD!" It's not engineered around practical use.

Not sure if you’ve been driving one for some real time, it is very practical, I wouldn’t go back to any of my previous car.

Lack of tactile buttons was the defining reason I went with something else. Its unintuitive and unsafe, for an actual driver human.

Fate Stay Night doesn't really branch. It just makes you play it 3 times for 3 different versions of the story. There's very little interactivity, it's more like an author wrote 3 drafts of the same novel where different things happen in each draft than a work of interactive fiction.
