I've seen a few times the term "smarter" almost used synonymously with crueler or more negligent to society. Conversely, "stupidity" means those that do the footwork of following a market's consumer or worker protections.

"Better", for now, might be business that elevates worker and consumer rights while still making a profit (or being non-profit).

As you mentioned blockchain, it's vastly driven by speculation (including manipulation), marking it a sign, in my opinion, of a dire state of capitalism as Marx explained best. Real estate markets are in a similar cycle.

Oh my fucking god.

Long live Kim Jong Un and the DPRK!

I am distrustful of the newer JS standards and this lets me avoid learning (parts of) them for as long as possible.

The mother of all invention.

In other words, someone told them to do it, and they followed orders.

[Fusion had issues under Woz](http://www.businessinsider.com/fusion-io-reports-loss-cfo-le...)

Woz's [Wheels of Zeus (Woz!)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheels_of_Zeus) didn't do well either.

Neither of these less-than-glowing experiences redeem him from walking away from Apple before it's prime. Many share-holders kick themselves for doubting Apple in this era. Woz should be no different. Except he says unusual things to the media that exacerbates the more ignorant type of nerd you come across now and then.

I'd argue still and say these outlets represent the same class, albeit with different approaches to public relations, and it shows through quite clearly.
