In the 80's and 90's Common Lisp compilers and editors were insanely expensive. The hardware was too, not even sure if those early implementations ran on x86... That's why they didn't take off. Easy to look back with

First of all, the date people first crossed the Bering straight isn't the genesis of the Inuit people. The rest of the Americas were colonised first, probably because the arctic is so inhospitable. Proto-Inuit culture only appeared a

Honestly Disney has it's own classics, Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, National Geographic... That alone means I can't unsubscribe, even if I generally like Netflix better. And I'm sure lots of people feel the same way.

Every large enough organisation eventually moves to Java (or C++, or Rust). When you have more bodies than things to do you just optimize... But how did all these startups get so big?

It's an interesting theory that temperature leads to skin pigmentation however all research points towards it being an adaptation to UV rays.
