That would be a great day. Unfortunately the culture of Linux is still too much walled garden, not in the Apple-like commercial sense, but in the tech culture kind of way. We need a way to embrace the public without losing what makes Linux great (to hack it to your own specifications)
Of course thats a great metric, but to better exemplify, taking Blender again, with their pool of money (mostly donated by enthusiasts) they could really accelerate the development, hiring the best contributors on a case by case basis, which solidified the code base and continuity. What I am saying is there is a great middle ground, with a good team, where money and enthusiasm go hand in hand.
2 years is far away? You must be very young or very close to death I assume...
It doesn't need to be remembered until then. If it matures and gets usable you will read about it again ;)
Colloquially, "or" can but doesn't have to be exclusive. As to your question, being young and close to death are both states that everyone gets to experience (even if not neccessarily knowingly for the latter) but thankfully most of us are spared from experiencing them simultaneously.
I'd say you're misinterpreting what belief implies here
Tradition isn't proof, but also it doesn't harm credibility, at least to coherent people, and that's how it should be*
Eventually if there's enough proof, the consensus shifts, regardless of how much initially people try to deny it
Fasting goes against recent consensus, yet it's becoming both more researched and more recommended (At the very least at the layman level, I'm no dietician)
* Something working doesn't tell you why it works, so it's important to be rigorous and always check, else you risk cargo-culting unnecesary or even risky things
Price discrimination doesn't guarantee cheaper products for poor people.
E.g. the same shampoo when labeled for women here costs more.
Or say Netflix costs less in some regions that are considered poor, but the rich people there still pay the lesser price.
If a business is only viable by extracting the most from every individual instead of finding a fair price, is it really better for society that business exists?
What a about the principle of fairness and people being treated equally?
> E.g. the same shampoo when labeled for women here costs more.
Hmmm... is it really the "same" shampoo? In my experience, products aimed at women typically have fancier packaging, added scent, and often exotic ingredients (which may or may not have any actual effect).
All of those things cost more money.
It's like the argument about laundering and pressing women's blouses costing more than men's dress shirts.
Men's shirts are more or less standardized, and can be processed using semi-automated equipment, while women's blouses often have lace, ruffles, or other decoration, large fancy buttons, unusual cuts, etc. and have to be pressed by hand.

Life is not fair from the moment of conception choosing which parents and location you are born to.

A buyer buying for the lowest price they can and the seller selling for the highest price they can is the definition of a fair price. Since supply and demand curves are constantly in flux, the fair price is also constantly in flux. Hence the practice of haggling with every vendor in old school markets/bazaars, even for daily vegetables.
It’s not an order for one person to hide their boat, it is a general rule applying to all recreational vehicles in the city. Usually the rule allows you to park a recreational vehicle in a garage, or in a car park provided it is enclosed on at least three sides, or in the back yard of a house provided it is behind a fence, etc.
