    I don't know if "from scratch" is really a fair statement. React accepts HTML in the render function, so the only thing you'd need to do is modify the variables to match JSX's vari…

    I think you misunderstood the point you were replying to. The idea is that you can’t really have a discussion about what it enables or how it’s used unless you already understand t…

    That's absolutely not the same thing lol. What Amazon did is unethical. What you are describing is illegal.

    Just because it's easy to fork in the UI, doesn't mean it's easy to get people to switch. Some people are actually concerned about the community as a whole, rather than their own p…

    And when maintainers respond to a significant amount of work involved in a PR for a bug with a note that they aren't interested because it's "boring" then they can be critiqued for…

    You can't tax revenue when the business is losing money. No country in the world does that for a reason.

    Literally everything you mentioned isn't a loophole, it's tax fraud. Tax loopholes are what they do within a single jurisdiction to avoid taxes. What you're suggesting is transferr…

    If you're discussing design and scaling at code review, you have a serious, SERIOUS, problem. That's what design docs are for.

    Google shouldn't be restricted to a subset of the available technology because a niche browser isn't updating to available technology. Yes, a side-effect of this is that the blind …

    That was the point of this entire thread. That MS doesn't care about Linux Desktop, so it's no longer a threat. The browser is the new threat, so being buddies with Linux is fine. …

    You can easily work 40 at tons of Amazon teams. AWS and parts of retail have the "crack the whip" culture, but it's not as bad as people think it is.

    Walmart generates $500B in revenue compared to Amazon's $230B. While you aren't wrong that Walmart is doing well, comparing net profit between companies when one is 2x the size of …

    You can choose to not use Select, and just use standard KDP. This is an exclusivity agreement. You don't get to release your ebook elsewhere in exchange for higher royalties.

    I'm quite familiar with them. But the colloquial term "computer" isn't the same as the historical term, and that's the point here. We aren't talking about the job, or a design that…

    Turing is the easiest because he's the only one that makes any sense. You have to get incredibly philosophical to have Hopper or Lovelace on the list as they very obviously did not…

    I mean, it seems like you are suggesting 3 incremental non-backwards compatible changes. I'm not sure how that's better. Nobody is going to sign on to the first two, so you end up …

    Gboard doesn't have in app purchases, the other one does. The rules are different because the apps are different.

    I'm confused as to what you think is mail fraud? Amazon is just fulfillment in these cases. It's clearly marked in the same place on every page, and as such, avoidable. It's purely…

    The savings implies they saved $2B over AWS. I can't read the article since I don't have a BI account, but unless they saved $2B over AWS (rather than $2B over their previous infra…

    Higher density is inevitable in mega-cities. Geographic boundaries are just a apart of reality. I agree that transportation is key to this expansion, but the Palo Alto's and Seattl…

    First to market in hardware, especially 30+ years ago wasn't a minor advantage it was an enormous advantage. And I'm not suggesting Kodak should have just went for digital in 1975,…

    How much of that $1300/month goes to dental and medical insurance? Because with no family to support, I don't see how you aren't paying close to half that in insurance.

    Not who you asked, but it's almost guaranteed to be lower. It's extremely rare to be both remote and get paid at the prevailing salary of the company. That only works for companies…

    I agree, generally, but that's ignoring geographic boundaries which are huge for cities like Seattle and San Francisco. It's not the main issue (regulation and zoning are) but it's…
