It's a little unfair categorization of why people are averse to nuclear energy. It really doesn't help that both government controlled and commercial operations have traded-off costs for safety leading to high-profile incidents.

by h0l0cube 4y ago
Agreed. I think the OPs criticism of LiveView is also a bit overblown. You have blocking latency issues in CRUD apps too, and in general UI changes pair with data updates, and as you say, where they don't you can still do client-side
