The answer is very much "Don't run Photoshop"

There's no confusion. People like this just don't think a homeless person deserves anything.

I imagine they take it as an affront, that a homeless man could have the "gall" to take charity from them, while he has a phone "hidden" in his pocket, as if that means he's a con-man, and not really in need at all.

In their mind, if a homeless man owns a phone, then he can't be genuinely destitute. If he was then he should sell that phone to afford his next meal, instead of begging on the street.

Never mind that a phone is probably the single most important tool to in modern life to stay informed and connected, not to mention and entertained and sane.

Never mind that a phone could be the difference between staying homeless for ever, or finding work.

No - if you are homeless then you certainly aren't allowed to own any tools that would help you get out of it.

“I think the existing, altruistic, free version of Reddit will continue to exist and grow and thrive just the way it has,” Huffman said.

There's nothing 'altruistic' about reddit

Is the answer. Cheating is a mechanism to both have their cake, and eat it.

If I send you on stage at the Olympic Games opening ceremony with a sealed envelope

And I say "This contains your script, just open it and read it"

And then when you open it, the script is blank

You're gonna freak out

The fade should be slow and subtle. At first the client thinks they are just imagining it, but then they start getting customer support calls about the site being faded, and their bosses are pointing it out too in meetings, and as it happens more and more the panic really begins to set in.

Finally they reach out to you in a desperation when there's barely anything left of the site and ask you to urgently fix the problem, and you just shrug your shoulders sympathetically and explain it's happening because they haven't paid - but not like in a way that suggests you are doing it on purpose, but a way where it's simply an unavoidable natural consequence, like if you didn't pay your electricity bill your power would get cut and the site is slowly "dying" and fading away because of that.

They'd pay so fast.

Yes, but ascertaining liability and securing a payout is a process that may take many years of being dragged through the courts, if it is even successful at all.

The government making money available immediately does help get things going with less uncertainty about who can foot the bill.

The answer is in the movie. When explaining the Matrix to Neo, Morpheus says: "There are fields, endless fields, where human beings are no longer born, we are grown."

Doesn't specify the exact how, but it's strongly implied that it is through either cloning or artificial gestation.
