His view regarding the Bosnian genocide is really strange imo. I would correct you that the people perpetrating it weren't really communists, but serbian nationalists.

However, his "USA bad" take is correct because it's true. Being anti-US, anti-NATO, anti-imperialism is the only moral view to have when you look at the history and current politics of the US.

Weird article. Like others have said, it's mostly about XSS.

It's strange that the article doesn't discuss at all where the JWT is stored in that case. It's one thing if it's stored in local storage (I would avoid that) and a completely different thing if it's stored in-memory so that potentially malicious scripts don't have access to that location.

Wouldn't SameSite=Lax work just as well to prevent CSRF? It prevents things like malicious forms and image links from other sites.

Wouldn't those people with non-jobs just quit and receive UBI then? If that is indeed what would happen (as you claim), why would those non-job havers at the bank keep working them?

What kind of percentage of people that have jobs today do you think are really productive in society and benefiting it? I think having a job does not mean you are benefiting society. You can be a telemarketer, a manager in a pesticide factory or developing new ad tracking technology. In my opinion, it'd be much better for those people to stay at home with their kids and get UBI.

And like I said in my other comment, there are a bunch of incentives. People usually want to have more money to save up, buy more stuff, feel more secure, etc. so people would work to have more money than the basic income. Apart from that, people want jobs to have a higher status among their peers and some people genuinely like what they do.

If UBI was introduced, would you personally sit around all day or would you continue working? If you'd continue working, what makes you think you're the only one?

Nothing really. However, to get that really good TV screen, impress would be partners or just make yourself more content, you might want to get a good job.

Even if some people opt to just do nothing and get money for that, it's no big deal. I'd much rather see people spend time with their kids and get UBI than them having to work bullshit jobs that benefit no one (telemarketer or whatever).

You're free to not care what he thinks about some topics, but he's also free to still write about them and has no obligation to write only about the things you care about.

Why are we going nowhere as a species without advancements in fundamental physics? That's quite a loaded statement, and not something we can just agree is a given. I mean sure, physics advancements are good and important, but I would say what's holding us back as a species is climate change and human suffering and inequality.

Maybe, but I would rather live in a society that has full respect for people than full respect for private property.

Conversely, do make jokes that lift people up and make them look and feel good.

I have nothing but good things to say about Next.js, one of the few web libraries that I'm really excited about. Great developer experience, the API is simple and very stable and the feature set is really powerful.

It's a relevant comment. The author chose a title with heavy ties to politics. They shouldn't then be surprised when people bring that up in discussion. I personally also think it's not wise to choose a title that enforces a slogan with ties to hateful politics unless that was your goal from the start.

I'd love to see him take on Magic: the Gathering, especially formats like vintage or legacy.

Things can't move faster than light through space. The space itself has no such limitation. You can imagine an expanding balloon and ants walking on it that have a limit to how fast they can move relative to the surface of the balloon.
