CSS is overall pretty great and I've seen at least a couple non-web GUIs rip out their bespoke GUI systems and replace them with CSS or something very much like it. I think the big change will be better support for hierarchical definit

Scaling a railway (horizontally and vertically) is a lot more doable than scaling a canal, right?

Others have brought up good points about why this is a weak example. Anyways, do you think ADL should be defined by its loose association with genocidal extremists like Itamar Ben-Gvir? Because that's the level of guilt-by-association

I think McDonald's would condemn and distance itself from a high-profile customer or partner that was responsible for highly illegal activity like that. Like it did with Russia.

I think you are making things up; if not, can you give an example of a "Jewish entity" with no significant links to Israel that was explicitly targeted by BDS? I can give many examples of non-Jewish businesses with links to Israel

The PR impact is priceless. Before Llama, Meta was defined in the short-term by dubious investment in "metaverse" and cryptocurrency nonsense. Now they are an open AI champion.

Reddit isn't taking over Google, it (and other platforms) just ate up all the bespoke forum traffic. It's largely the same traffic (people discussing things openly on the Internet), there's just much less diversity in the dom

Feels like you're a couple decades behind. Single core speeds haven't gone up much in the last decade, especially for "server" CPU models.

This sounds wildly conspiratorial: If governments don't crack down on corruption, they are enabling corruption. If they do crack down on corruption, they are "pig butchering".
