Half of the US media portrays half of the country as neo-Hitlers for being slightly more critical of immigration than their neighbors. We generally have one of the most open borders, relatively straightforward legal immigration paths and mo

Developers are going to go where the users are, and the users are going to go to the App Store. It's a self-reinforcing cycle. That and PWAs do not match the quality of the experience of a native app on iPhones. It doesn't even ma

The hope is that it not making military sense prevents military action. We don’t have any such promise from reality, or much historic precedent to depend on, and in the case of the PRC and Taiwan, it is CCP leadership which is angling for

> why would Taiwan even matter? The CCP has fully subscribed to irredentism and it has popular support in the mainland. Taiwan will never not matter. But otherwise I agree with the rest of your argument.
