The master strategist of the west.
After spending couple of years studying in the US, I came to conclusion that executives and board members in industry doesn't care about society or humans, even universities don't push students towards critical thinking and ethics, and all has turned into a vocational training, turning humans into crafting tools.
The same time, at Harvard, I attended VR innovation week and the last panel discussion of the day was Ethics and Law, which was discussed by Law Professor, a journalist and a moderator and was attended a handful of people. I inquired why founders, CEOs or developers weren't in part of the discussion or in attendance? Moderator responded that they couldn't find them qualified enough to take part in the discussion. The discussion basically was - how product companies build affects the society? Laws aren't founders problem, that's what lawyers are for, and ethics - who cares, right?
This frenzy, this rat race towards next billion dollar company at any cost, has tore down the fabric of the society to the individual thinking level; or more like not thinking, just wanting and needing.
Well...
If you really really want to gamble then go, travel to Nevada and do it.
The problem is sticking their filthy ads and purchased propagandists into the faces of vulnerable people and society at large.
Preying on victims over the phone, soc. media ads, bought manipulators so called influencers with no morale.
Thanks for all the hard work.
However, please get rid of micro-transactions...
I'm fine paying full price of the product for my kid, but not micro-transactions.
I was always suspicious of Ring and never understood the people using it.
I prefer one tool for one job approach.
Could someone please explain benefits of using one-does-all tools?
And, it is something we need to talk about loudly, but I guess it wouldn't crank up a number of followers or valuation of AI grifters.
All right, cancelled.
Rest in peace.
After 21 years of Firefox, that was rather bitter goodbye moment.
Joking :)
Looks rather interesting, to be honest. I'll play with it.
But thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely take that journey before the year is over.

Dark themes make my brain hurt.
After a couple of years of writing Java in my late teen, early 20s, I observed considerable overhead and inefficiency while working on large Java projects.
I thought we shouldn’t have to recompile the whole project upon every single change.
Classes and private public fields, methods felt like they were solving the wrong problem.
Other fancy words, that contained fairly simple ideas felt like the output of clever language designers.
Those were the issues I observed as a newbie, but still I started looking for alternatives and found Clojure fairly soon. Sense of satisfaction steadily grew as I dug deep into the language, it was addressing so many design decisions I questioned before. At some point I started re-writing core library and it was joy to see how simple a programming language can be.
I wrote software in many different programming languages over the years but writing Clojure at work is fun, multiplied.
