Obviously, you've been playing too much of TDWTFs Release! the Game. (One of the 3 suits of cards in the game is Doors; the others are Fruits and Birds.)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Sharply observed, that must be my favourite game

At least at the initial Kickstarter prices, the game was worth it just for the lulz. They skewered everything that was buzzword compliant in tech, and did a really good job of it.

That's actually extremely useful for training and when taking on new people.
Shame it's only on amazon, where I will not hand over money.

It's also freely downloadable for print and play if you hate Bezos more than whoever sells your grotesquely marked up printer ink.

You make really good points, there. Well phrased.

Good, not that my auto updates are on, but golly gee, where would I ctrl-V a screen grab to save it as a jpg. That's said, remember when MS Paint only knew about BMP files. - you're old if you do.

I think with XP it learned about .png, .jpg, .gif, and .tif. I still use that version because I can't stand its successors.

Samsung on Monday delayed the launch of the Fold following reports that some of the small number of devices seeded to reviewers began to malfunction or break. The CNET review unit, handled by editor Jessica Dolcourt, hasn't suffered the same issues. This is no Galaxy Note 7 debacle.

My understanding is that two conditions are affecting the device. The first is user error. There is a thin layer of plastic the covers the screen and is required for the screen to function. Users are removing the film thinking it's just a screen protector. The second is that this film leaves a gap at the hing when folding. This gap allows dust and other particles to get behind this film causing the same issue of the screen malfunctioning.

I feel like I completely lost that spontaneity and simple mindset. Every project which I take up has become an attempt to make money. I tell myself, “Oh wow, that’s a cool app idea, I should build it. But wait….how am I going to monetize it. Is it worth it?” Sound familiar?

The real question should be, "What will I learn from doing this?"
I've been writing code as a hobby for over 40 years, and have rarely - if ever - asked myself, "How am I going to monetize this?"
Given today's rapid-fire feature updates, I ALWAYS ask myself, "Is it worth learning this?"

No, but I'm not focussed on money.
If you want your app to be a commercial succes, then the question is legitimate.

I firmly believe that the best way to truly learn a technology is to build something with it, so I decided to take a deep dive and build a web application with all of these technologies together. 53 min read, FYI.

Car API startup Smartcar claims that its competitor Otonomo copy-and-pasted Smartcar’s API documentation, allegedly plagiarizing it extensively to the point of including the original’s typos and randomly generated strings of code. They say copying typos is the highest form of flattery.

They'll just apply the Golden Rule. The govts have all the gold, so they get to make the rules however they like. 
If you don't like it, they'll just brand you a terrorist and revoke your citizenship.
