    There's not much you're missing. His videos try to appeal to the lowest common denominator and are relatively vapid. Sort of like the junk food of YouTube.

    Well actually, if they had used Next.js deployed via Vercel or something similar, it would have been statically cached on a CDN and prevents issues like this. But because they want…

    Congress plus the President's signing authority have massive power and broad latitude to make decisions. I don't think TikTok stands a chance really. I wonder if there is a place I…
