I don't know how long ago "once upon a time is" but they seem to have increasing revenue very successfully since the 80s at the least based on some googling. Maybe before then, but I don't know if we can find any data to

The NBA is an organization who's job it is to set rules that teams, athletes, and referees can participate in. They can choose to fire refs who behave this way, and they would because they make more money if the refs aren't racist

Nah, it's money motivated. The less controversy there is with Twitch streamers, the more easily they can negotiate ad deals and make money.

Twitch is technically a public company (Amazon), but I don't think there's any difference in this case.

And I assume that contract has a clause in it that says Twitch can revoke their streaming status for any reason, otherwise they would have been sued to death by now.

As a software engineer, I fully support at-will employment. If I were say, a barista or a warehouse worker (any job that is low-skill relative to white-collar careers and easily replaceable) I would disagree.

Then maybe you should reconsider your choice of professional careers if that's a risk factor and your risk tolerance isn't high enough.

Right, I agree with your premise.

Pretty sure the rationale for Korea/Vietnam was exactly "because there were malevolent people in the world who posed a direct threat to the nation", just targeted towards the USSR/communism

How about the Korean and Vietnam wars? Iraq? Afghanistan? Maybe they weren't officially declared wars like WW1/2 but if sending troops to a country to fight doesn't constitute wars I don't know what does.

What you're describing is just an online newspaper. There's a reason most newspapers can't survive this way: people aren't willing to pay a monthly subscription.

Clearly, the black female employee didn't interpret it that way, so your ability to empathize may be lacking.

The US hasn't been a neutral third party in any worldwide matter since WW1. The U.S's foreign policy is aggressively selfish (which is good for US citizens)

Absolutely. Starting most new projects with something like React/Vue is complete overkill and jquery makes adding small incremental JS functionality to your app a breeze.

It's incredibly easy to do something wrong and cause bugs or security issues in your app. Or, compare string manipulation in C with any high level language like Ruby, Python, JS and the ease of use is night and day.

So it only works as long as people are willing to volunteer nodes right? For a stable business model, I assume some party will start hosting nodes and charging people to use it?

There will be a few people, but companies like this will look for "passionate" people, or people who are good at pretending to be passionate to get paid.

I would say that the majority of communities in the US side with law enforcement, it's minorities that struggle more with police. The police will uphold the needs of the majority (or the government, which is elected by the majority)

Not new anymore, that started with the "Big Data" craze back around ~2012/2013. But at the core it makes sense - it's just businesses making better use of the tons of data their systems are generating.
