You expressed it better than I did. At the end it is people, but apparently we two have fundamental disagreements with OP (Kliment).

Thank you for your comment, Kliment. I am currently trying to see my error in thinking and fix it. > currently severely undertaxed Is it because companies such as Amazon are good a…

Okay, the person who disliked my comment refused to answer why he did it. I can only guess why he did it. I suspect it is because of my silly remarks in general. Anyhow, it would b…

This is Jason Turner's SO CV: https://stackoverflow.com/cv/lefticus I added it for inspiration. :)

I hope so. Again, I wouldn't complain about it, but there are people like Ben Shapiro, you know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ People like Ben then perhaps need to put up with it if the majority decid…

The government needs to pay for this. The taxes collected come from people. So a fraction of the people have to pay for UBI. If we assume full automation and no private property, t…

How about this "made in Japan"[1] laptop as a MacBook alternative?: https://us.vaio.com/collections/vaio-z [1] https://us.vaio.com/pages/vaio-made-in-japan

Exactly! OP should also consider being perhaps less inflammatory with his language. Be mindful of others. Simply complaining won't help you, OP. Be proactive and seek to synergize[…

Reminds me of stoicism. If it's outside your control, don't bother too much. Face your challenges and do the best you can, being a better you.

Mind the Lindy effect?: https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2017/08/19/programming-langua... NASA also does stick with old stuff/tech.

IOW: be conservative (in your decisions) and move like a tankship and not like a speedboat. Old is good. NASA does this too, AFAIK. They use conservative/old tech that has stood th…

What about minimal frameworks such as Vue.js? It is implemented on vanilla JS.
