According to what? A social contract? The written law? Some ethical/moral foundation? The answer depends on what standard you're using. In my opinion, yes they do have that responsibility. Once you attain a level of social and eco

It amuses me that HN hates JS so much, that even a topic about problems with C turns into a JS-bashing thread. Also, I just want to remind you that JS isn't just React. There are plenty of libraries written in C that introduce breaking

Lots of people have talked about these issues, but society's response has been to drive those people away and label them "misogynists" for observing what has happened in the sexual marketplace. A lot of the ideas you talk abo

It's interesting how you have such strong opinions about JS developers when you're not even familiar with the most popular tools that are available today... I always find it weird how people are like that. Especially mentioning JS

> Concepts like mutable/immutable I'm curious, have you used React or Immutable.js? As the latter's name suggests, both heavily rely on concepts of immutability. Just sounds like you're FE-bashing like people on the i

So by your analysis, the EU will be full electric within the next decade or so?

Yeah and it's a lot easier to sue doctors for malpractice than it is politicians for corruption/negligence. You're kinda proving my point.

Sounds like you're talking about the Fed specifically, and yeah, that is a big issue. I'm talking more about congressional representatives.

If you reward politicians too greatly, the allure of being a politician is no longer affecting political change or helping your fellow constituents. It's getting access to a sweet lifetime of cashflow. Politicians shouldn't be pai

Google's whole business model is user tracking though. If they can't spy on you they go belly up, so chances are they won't stop spying on you. Related: I don't understand why people choose to work for Google
