I heard of a similar story from my history teacher, but with eastern block and the show Dallas. From what I remember authorities were hoping that it would show the decadence of the west, but I think people mainly saw the higher living stand

My rule of thumb is this: Does the solution solve more problems than it creates? Taking the example of Vue.js, I found that it makes building UIs a lot easier. But I found that you do need to understand its caveats and its limitations (e.g.

Depends on the infrastructure and education. In the UK, I regularly see cyclists do stupid things. When I go to Holland, everybody respects the red lights, but I guess that's because they have amazing cycling infrastructure and also cy
