Well I think any author or musician is anxious to have legitimate sales of their products, partly so they're rewarded for their success, partly so they can go on and do new things.
The U.S. couldn't even get rid of Saddam Hussein. And we all know that the EU is just a passing fad. They'll be killing each other again in less than a year. I'm sick to death of all these fascist lawsuits.
As I look forward, I'm very optimistic about the things I see ahead.
A breakthrough in machine learning would be worth ten Microsofts.
The internet is just a passing fad.
With a public library card in your hand, you have access to the Internet and a world of opportunities.
By almost any measure, the world is better than it has ever been. People are living longer, healthier lives. Many nations that were aid recipients are now self-sufficient. You might think that such striking progress would be widely celebrated, but in fact, Melinda and I are struck by how many people think the world is getting worse.

I don’t think people have that in their mental model.
in china when you're one in a million, there are 1300 people just like you
