I’m no fan of Ballmer by any stretch, but Azure was launched under his watch and is why MS is doing so well these days.

Free market, yes. Unquestionably free market with no regulation, not going to work.

I agree with what you’re saying, but non-competes are an example of free market not a counterexample. The employer is willing to give you x amount of compensation in return for your labor and for an agreement not to compete for some period of time when employment ends.

I wish you could just ignore emails. If you don’t respond they’ll call your personal cellphone.

No they shouldn’t, nor do I think it should be legal to drag someone’s name through the mud before conviction.

Regardless, the “flaws” this person was referring to were the accusations, and the accusations were of rape not forcible kissing.

While I agree that forcibly kissing someone isn’t rape, in the NYT article posted somewhere in this chain he’s accused of penetration without consent.

That may not be true according to David Fowler: https://twitter.com/davidfowl/status/1532880744732758018?s=2...

d) People trust their government every day. Who do you think builds the roads, operates the hospitals and other essential services, sets out safety regulations etc.

If they are going to take my money , I expect at least _something_ of benefit to me in return. That doesn’t mean I trust them.
