I'm wondering if Google going public was a mistake.
I'm wondering if Google going public was a mistake. Whats the point of being "rich" and a "Google shareholder" and other temporary states of existence, if we never get self-driving cars or cure major diseases or get gigabit Internet or get cell phone service that isn't shit. Seriously, no matter how rich you are, two of those won't happen for you (cure diseases, cell phone service), one of them won't happen the way Google envisions it (the car; even if YOU have a self driving car, you're not likely going to be the drunk driver that kills you, some other poor shmuck that doesn't have a self driving car is), and the last, the gigabit Internet, yes, you can just have the metro ethernet with a gigabit or greater port installed at your house, but the general Internet, the stuff we access normally, isn't designed, optimized, or otherwise meant for speeds that fast, and generally will be massively wasted potential if you're using gigabit for content consumption instead of production and dissemination. I'm perfectly happy with Google blowing my money on shit I want. What use is money if I can't buy what I really want in the first place? Money keeps turning into some weird hoarding game where the rule are made up and the points may have never mattered in the first place. Money and resources are infinite, but so is human suffering, and since I'm still a human being, the suffering of others fundamentally makes me unhappy. I'm tired of being unhappy.

I am very petty about this one bug and have a very old axe to grind that this reminded me of!
Not just the edge router.
