My LG 5k monitor acts as my hub and power source, so I'm pretty close to "plug 1 thing". And from there I have a wired apple keyboard that connects to the monitor (yes with a dongle). But the keyboard has 2 old USB connectors

I suspect that's why Apple moved the URL bar to the bottom of the screen in iOS Safari. For better or for worse, it now stands out a lot more from the search boxed within websites.

At aa high level, if one is involved in shaping policy which can then affect stock prices, it's no different than insider trading. It's just that it's not limited to a single company.

This reminds me a lot of imba[1], which mixes the front end and the back end. Though ReactiveClojure seems to be more about reasoning in terms of a lisp for all parts of the app, whereas imba is more focused on reducing syntax noise as much
