I'm not writing it off. I think it's a good idea to bring more options to the web. I tried it last year, but as you state and I agree, it's not ready yet.

In my experience in SF I encounter many never-JSers. Being a JS fan, for certain things, I don't get the hate. So maybe I feel threatened in a way, but I'm not going around wishing for the death of python or Haskell. That's all. I am reading random internet commenters and getting slightly upset. That's on me.

Yea maybe I see this because I feel threatened in some way. Not desirable!

Cool. Thanks

Good questions. WASM at this point seems more a locus of JS hate than anything practical. To create something cool, novel, and useful should be the goal, not avoid or use a certain language.

Such hate for JavaScript. To say JS needs to lose for you to win says more about you than it does JS. Just a thought. I see a world where there are many winners and one where WASM and JS and whatever you want can fulfill their need where needed.

Piwik.

Inept State/Corporate entities who hire based on immutable characteristics of an individual rather than their actual ability to complete given task.

Corrupt State/Corporate entities who'd rather have money in their private bank than complete given task for public good.

A public label is often only surface deep. For example, Google's original motto was: "Don't be evil."

They care because they've been given a voice. Yet lack the power and respect of someone like Elon Musk. It's best to ignore them, if possible.

False comparison. Google users are voluntary. No one forces someone to use Google like the Government forces someone to pay tax.

When I hear this, I hear jobs and the most revolutionary green company are not welcome. If that's the case, Berlin is lost.

There is good and bad to gentrification. You don't hear stories of the people who bought their house for 50k in 1980 who then sold it in 2010 for 1.3MM. Or the people thankful they don't have to walk around in fear of gangs for themselves or their children.

TO me the biggest problem is the State. In SF, among many many other things, it's their zoning policies that caused the housing crisis. But they run education and media. So people blame the most revolutionary green company, or others bring wealth to the area, instead of the State.

Something shocking something Germans were always evil patriarchs. For all of time. The study is titled "Kinship-based social inequality in Bronze Age Europe." I question this study, which is behind a paywall. So the idea is women go off on their own to find mates? And they studied 104 bones(?) using "deep regional approach" to determine this. Seems a very small sample size to make this generalization about the past. How is it that academics always find in the past that which validates their present views?

>"We apply a deep micro-regional approach and analyze genome wide data of 104 human individuals deriving from farmstead-related cemeteries from the Late Neolithic to the Middle Bronze Age in southern Germany."

Wait, things are not as bad as has been crammed down our throats for years? Imagine my surprise. But, yet many armchair doomsayers will still only find the negative. Yes, this isn't perfect. But neither am I. Or you. Peace

Greater taxes, government programs to 'save the world'.

I agree. With the current state of the government and media the doom and gloom is mostly a power grab and a further means to divide.

But I also agree there is an issue. Which I don't doubt you do too.

Having the simultaneous position of disagreement with zero credibility media and the desire for a cleaner world is possible. Although most are too blinded by ideology to see this. Hence the downvotes, and the non-discussion in many circles on these matters.

It's the same thing happening in Politics. But it's also why I'd argue people are realizing how fake this whole charade is as our society falls further into the gutter.

And truly it is more fun to work together solving hard problems rather than screaming past each other. We've been so isolated, our whole lives, only now are we realizing what it means to be in the public. Vulnerable yet strong (I may be projecting here).

I agree as far as unimaginably powerful. However, see: Iraq War, Afghan War, Am. Revolution, Guerilla warfare, etc. And it's not a fantasy.

What you describe is what I've heard summarizes the state of KS. Both sides are entrenched and talking past each other while the actual product and company continue to slide into the gutter.

Seems to me both sides would rather plant their flags and signal allegiance to the outside world than come up with a real solution.

Kickstarter is on its way out.

I appreciate your sensible take on this. From what I've heard from a KS employee, it's been anything but sensible, from both sides.

To add to that. Said employee described the lack of product leadership (constant changing vision, wasted efforts, etc.). At this point I would not bet or invest in KS.

Exactly. Hence, to me, the 2nd Amendment of US Constitution.

Obviously it's and absolute last ditch, not taken lightly and very undesirable. But, to have the option, is true sovereignty to me.

I get what you're saying and share your idealism. But you've been the beneficiary of many, many guns. And much violence. So while you may sound good, it's not based in reality.

Regardless, violence is relatively at a historically all-time low[1].

In a failed state scenario, as you mentioned, what's the recourse of the people?

Sounds like they need another check from the US government.

True. And your employees will not have the choice to see a doctor outside of Kaiser's vertical integration. Even if necessary. Further, since they are all vertically integrated they will necessitate care that is in line with their system.

I've heard good and bad, mostly bad, from Kaiser. But it's hard to tell objectively given the current system and how people interact with it. Personally, I had a not so great experience.

True. However, there's a difference between death panel singular and death panels plural.

They need a 'Non-Netflix Content' filter.

Your argument assumes Chinese citizens using Google is somehow better for them than Baidu. I have no idea. But I will not make the claim to know what's best for 1.6B, as you do.

But to go down that road, I'd argue it's worse for the citizens. As others here have pointed out. Google's software enables advanced citizen tracking for the Communist Party of China.

Prove me wrong though. Show me how Google China is better for 1.6B Chinese.

Self-governed sovereignty. You and the American entities mentioned believe this. And seek to protect it. Including trademark violators, for example (who threaten Apple's 'kingdom' so to speak).

Unfortunately it seems both countries (or large entities therein: US Politicians, Google, US Media, etc.) are in fact, allied, whether aware or not, with the Communist Party of China.

Seems we'd best be served to first collectively realize this. Then do as you suggest.

I don't follow. If Google helps entities that censor, they censor, or at least are complicit in some way.

Further, there's the whole 'national security' angle. Whether real or imagined, some people don't like the idea of US entities helping foreign entities gain a competitive advantage.

Not sure how pointing to a feigned moral superiority of 'those who stick their noses up' helps your argument either.
