   Laws absolutely are written in a vacuum called government.

   It might not have seemed that way in writing, but in reading your post is contradictory. If the motivation for a person to do this is lost on you, you don't grok capitalism; and if that bothers you, you don't like capitalism.

   Yeah, those are the laws that shouldn't exist.

   What a horrible place 2016 is. The JavaScript is uncompressed and has 6 columns of comment characters on every line. There's really no excuse. This site did not even need JavaScript.

   I see where you're coming from but I'd hang myself over the bureaucracy. Give me the code. Not to mention, it's just as possible to positively effect the world as a developer as a doctor (easier without the red tape, actually

   This is Signal jumping the shark. Why is searching gifs their responsibility? Non-essential features should be skipped there is a single shred of security concern, which we can see there is.

    I don't know the situation, but I think that you have it backwards when you say "didn't realize what they had." If what they had was a progenitor to XMLHttpRequest, a feature which almost single-handedly broke the Web, t

    Okay, but let's see if the governments or the petulant children win. You know which thread you're in, right?

    We would be better off if JavaScript didn't exist, so by that rationale I've contributed more than him by not creating a language.

    For one, not everyone cares about the rules. For two, rules rarely apply to all people all the time. For three, this is external to the apps and you can hardly judge the app for what arbitrary regulations their location has at that time.

    It doesn't take a state to do that. Dogs mark their territory.

    > Capitalism can only exist within a framework of "statist regulation". This isn't true at all. We had capitalism before we had states and regulation.

    That's what the problem is. You can invent something in a weekend; the red tape takes longer. I think that still counts as "built in a weekend."

    Unfortunately, taxes are difficult to avoid. For that reason, disrupt or damage at least as much as you contribute so it balances out.
