       The lesson to me has not been "Microsoft's now the good guys", but "infotech builds monsters". In a commercial, property-based world, the leading firms will be monopolies behaving atrociously, for extremely entrenched systemic reasons.As for tech's leaders: the industry not only attracts monsters, but selects monsters for success, and turns those who have (or appear to) good intentions into monsters.The good it spits out, destroys, or drives to madness.https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23215649

       @dredmorbius I think you'll find that this is a fundamental trait of humanity itself. The guy who follows no rules will always beat the guy who does, whatever those rules may be.
