So I just read Bill Gates’ 1976 Open Letter To Hobbyists, in which he whines about not making more money from his software. You know, instead of being proud of making software that people wanted to use. And then the bastard went on and made proprietary licences for software the industry standard, holding back innovation and freedom for decades. What a douche canoe.

    Is everyone at Harvard a nepo baby or has definitely had an easy life? I don’t understand your argument.

      Yes, aside from a few scholarship kids, the Ivy League schools, and especially Harvard and Yale, were specifically built and continue to this day to be schools for the children of the elite.

      It’s a reasonable assumption that a family that could send their child to Harvard in the 70s was very well off already.
