You could replace "US" in your argument with the county, state, region, continent or earth. Where do you draw the line? You want to see people of earth get jobs or people of americas or people of Nebraska? All man made lines on a

The issue is that Trade agreements don't allow such a move. You either partake in global trade or not. Can't have it both way. For example India will export beef, clothes etc. but block Uber and Amazon. Doesn't work that way.

As I progressed in my career in tech I stopped coding about 10 years back. I'm not entirely sure why, but working on legacy systems in maintenance mode for an extended period of time might have killed my love for it. After I got out I

There is a third option, "accept to view ads with the associated ecosystem which includes tracking". How many more options do you want? At that point Wired is happy to lose you as a customer. You have anyway dodged the question on

The bigger question is, why are we still programming the way we did 20yrs ago? Higher level languages were a great improvement over machine language. But what comes next? Why don't we have it yet? A decade ago I was setting up database

I enjoyed it. This was the promise. Amazing things all rendered in your browser. With mobile apps I feel that we did an about turn. And since apps took off it stunted the original promise.
