Ok I have zero interest in blockchains and somewhat firmly believe them to be a fad but, honestly, you read like an Amish decrying "those metal monsters." Software was good enough to send a few guys to the Moon and back fifty year

There are very few actually socialist countries at all. Almost every country right now is capitalist with varying tax rates. Of the few truly socialist ones, the only one I wouldn't consider an outright failed state is China, and that&

This is amazing. A hypocrite (Gruber, as evidenced in another thread) calls the AMP team hacks who do terrible work. Turns out their "terrible work" is actually Apple's bug and the AMP team points this out both to Apple and t

Really? Which one? Keep in mind that "capitalism with higher taxes" is still capitalism so I'm curious of what of the few really socialist countries you're from.

I read the comment you replied to several times and couldn't find where it said that technology was only beneficial. Now your claim that is neutral is the strong one, but also one very easy to test: Don't use or consume anything

Mentioning that you moved the goalpost is not an ad hominem; it's literally an evaluation of your argument, not of you. Specially given that I didn't address you at all. Is it mentioning that someone used a fallacy itself a fall

Everywhere, the majority of people in every field will be of the majority race of that country. In USA, that is white; where I live, it's latino/hyspanic. The gender disparity does seem to be widespread, though: For instance, of t

Replying at all and in such a passive aggressive tone is petty. If you're confident in your technology (and people making something as widely used as react/redux ought to be confident), you can let it speak for itself. As for how

I didn't know about this. I can't wrap my mind into why anyone would be doing this. If this thread is any indication, members of the react (et al) team frequent this place so I hope one of them can clear this doozy up.

I'm having trouble understanding what this accomplished, other than making the react (or I guess redux in this case) team look petty. I agreed with the original post and this reply didn't sway me. I see in this thread that people
