The solution isn't stopping it but embracing it! There is no way you're going to put the first world genie back into the bottle. Doing so, by forcing the West into an archaic revival type society will result in revolts that will leave cheerleaders of such political solutions shall I say... more carbon neutral?

No, it would be better to embrace it and engineer around and with it.

Re:Rust and WebAssembly in 2019 on Sunday December 16, 2018 @02:30AM (#18692159)
Wouldn't SPARK (and Ada) be better suited for WebAssembly than rust? Because SPARK is built to be formally provable and Ada being pretty damn safe?
Were you able to remember all the instances? If so you're lucky. I'm stuck with fleeting flash bulbs of what I would guess to be a small percentage in my 'library' of adverse experiences.
I'm surprised no one in this thread brought up the Adverse Childhood Experiences study. An ACE of 6/10, as compared to a 0/10, may actually have worse deleterious effects than a lifetime of smoking. A six score on average dies twenty years younger than a zero (when correcting for lifestyles and risk-behaviors between the two groups)!
