Where does one find an EA this capable? I'd consider this, but don't see how this is realistic

I'm not trying to impress anyone, I just want to solve business problems quickly, get paid, and go golf. I firmly believe that high productivity can be achieved by using boring technology. https://expatsoftware.com/arti

Maybe you missed the "I would rather" part, offering an alternative. The question is not Apple's right to control speech on their platform. It is their hypocrisy in wanting to control speech in free countries and at the same

Huh, nevermind, I honestly did not know that definition of paternalistic. My bad, sorry

It is also possible that before the Internet, reporting was equally biased as it is now, we just didn't know it. In fact, it would have been easier.

Whether you agree or not, referring to something generic like this as paternalistic is actually condescending. Let's be careful with the name calling.

What if I sell an NFT of one of my tweets that is subsequently taken down for violating Twitters terms? Am I liable? This whole concept IMO is absurd.

Comparing an original painting to a photograph of the painting is the exact issue the OP is making. They are asking why people would pay for a photo, when anyone could have the same photo. There is no original, scarce painting to own. Just

"it is easier, as a practical matter, to keep people from getting ridiculously rich in the first place than to tax the money after they have it." Wow. Good luck with that dorm room philosophy. BTW, who paid for that nice engineeri

Maybe they didn't think they needed to. Before a few months ago, you didn't yank someone off your network because you didn't like their politics. (yea yea, terms of service something or other)

"Missing context"? So, it is true, but requires more nuance to properly understand? SMH. What seems to bother many people is they perceive the social media "fact checking" as only going in one direction politically. This

Not every application needs to be "enterprise grade". Yet, many design teams seem to approach them all the same way. Stop the needless bloat!

Users just want it to work. I think the problem is too many developers trying to impress each other for status. IMO, what matters most is coding efficiency, how fast can business problems be solved with a low enough error threshold.
