"I figure half of a developers time these days is squandered trying to force JavaScript/CSS to do things Win32 did fine 25 years ago."
Yes.
I strayed from corp development because of this. Only recently have I become excited about development again as true cross-platform has become a reality. I can build an app in Xamarin.Forms and deploy it everywhere without a bunch of drama or worrying about cramming client functionality into a browser.
None of the consulting shops have serious new-tech capabilities. They just throw around buzzwords and send someone who is supposed to figure it out on the fly. I fault IT managers for expecting to buy solutions without establishing a clear process that involves the FTE engineers. They think they can buy a solution and that it will just work because they sent someone money and "requirements.' The FTE feel shafted and steer clear of the projects so they can avoid the blame and tarnish when it all goes wrong.
Nearly everyone is in maintenance mode. Getting into new tech requires dedicating people to that cause--pulling them off maintenance. Instead they leave people in maintenance mode, get a hair up their ass, demand new tech, buy it, and saddle the people doing maintenance with implementation. Throw in architecture-by-politics and you have shit. In this environment the only way to throw off tech debt is to slap the new shit into new projects because they get the budget. Legacy is a nightmare that typically consumes the best, most senior engineers while demanding that they get the new stuff rolled out at the same time. windows shop with no automation on.NET/SQL Server....new project is open source central on.NET Core, SQL Server , Cassandra, RabbitMQ, Redis on Linux. None of the good engineers had any time to vet out the tech and architect it--the developers just threw it over the wall. Have fun.
There are actually fat farms in some African countries where they send girls to get fattened up so they are more marketable. The eligible men recoil at the site of a skinny woman apparently. #MeToo
We are also in the throws of spending over 1 Trillion dollars on renewing and upgrading our nuclear arsenal in the US. I would rather use a fraction of that to build basic infrastructure in third world countries and basic housing where people are walking through sewage and trash to get to thier tin and tarp hut. Perhaps that would curtail the recruiting efforts of isis. Of course we would need to drop Israel like a bad habit at the same time.
They would end up farming it out to the drug companies through a third party like they do with drug information pamplets--any educational materials in a doctor's office is written by the drug companies with the copyright being held by a third party stooge to mask the fact.
It was not a failure. The point was to elect an outsider and disrupt the status quo. Mission accomplished. I dont think most of us had high hopes about what would transpire during his presidency. The man is a genius when it comes to playing the media. I will give him that.
The parties better pull thier head out of thier ass or he will win the next election.
Except what you describe has literally spawned massive riots where hordes of people armed themselves and set about burning, pillaging, killing, and raping people because of fake news on facebook. State actors are going to use it to influence and destabalize countrues so that they can enact coups and other bullshit during the chaos. I consider myself an information libertarian but seeing what can happen from a single fake news post chills me to the bone and leaves me at an impass considering how to handle it. The Prime Minister of Myanmar had to cut off facebook to save lives and preserve peace throughout his entire country. What. The. Fuck.
Right. Let the users mod the posts. Instead facebook is addicted to likes. At first it was a way to make everything seem worthy of your engagement since you would only see positive reviews...likes. Now that facebook is literally getting people killed (Myanmar) by spreading fake news they have to do something..as long as it does not negatively affect engagement. They are resisting their responsibility. Expected when the founder and CEO is someone who has never had to deal with anything of substance pertaining to real life. I dont think he has even had a job.
Actually...they do point out the different sects and races of people who are lumped in as "jews." The word 'jew" is very confusing to any layman who actually takes a look into what it means as the people called jews have various groups who look very different and have radically different agendas. The main beef is with a certain strain of "jew" which he points out is not really a jew and who's zionist agenda has hijacked the jewish race and religion to confuse and manipulate people. The zionists are real fucks. That is truth I wish was easier for people to talk about.
The jews that are mentioned in the bible are not the zionists. They are a peace loving and benevolent people who oppose zionism. Very interesting but a lot of people get confused or scared when approaching the subject and never get the facts. Especially when they see hateful posts like the above.
I feel for the real jews, the Palestinians, and the other billions of people who are getting duped by these asshole zionists. They stir a bunch of shit through the whole world--basically in the shadows. You hear the terrorists often mention zionists but they use the word "jew" to mean the same thing essentially. Zionists now consist of a lot of white evangelicals (protestants offshoots/cults) who promote the cause because they have fallen for the fake connection between modern land grabbing assholes that call themselves jews and the jews mentioned in the bible. To make it more confusing, the real jews live amongst the "fake jews" in Palenstine.
I escaped a popular zionist protestant cult that I was indoctrinated into at a young age. The people who helped form the "state of Isreal" after WW2 sent people to America in the 1800's and bankrolled their efforts to start protestant sects that support their cause--indoctrinating the adherents to the philosophies of zionism through the veil of Christianity. These sects (religions) are still here and still operate. Zionism literally is the devil.
As best I can tell, the zionist jews are a people descended from what we might think of as "gypsies." Blows my mind, and I'm still trying to figure it all out. It is tough because once you dig in you start tripping over a lot of general anti-semitisim that clouds your research. Zionists love anti-semitism...without it they are powerless.
"they were horrible people who realized that they could get away with being horrible people as long as they told people like you what you wanted to hear. '
Fox / CNN / Facebook....I'm sure others can insert more.
Yeah...it seems Payboy/Hustler etc had some of the best journalism in the 80's. Perhaps porn will save us after all. I'm being serious. Myanmar-Facebook certainly is not helping.

Bernie. Yet another sad possible outcome.
The RV is actually $400k and you would not be very much fun at the parties you don't get invited to.
In the places where the population is growing they can barely afford a $100 cell phone.
I came here to guess that it was probably Fortnite causing this.
Relax dude....these countries cant afford to get all gaffy over these "attacks."
If by attack you mean: wait for the chaos and then run fake news on facebook.
I guarantee every state/terrorist/drug lord/dictator is doing the same thing to many differrnt people.
For an election this isnt much of a threat to me...unless it makes my candidate lose...then it's gloves off.
Most likely reason.
"Fake Benghazi bullshit"
Totally fuck you. What a piece of shit.
In the face of China Putin is weak. They are fucking us both over while we try to scratch eachothers eyes out.

Yeah....total yawnfest. When its over heads are going to roll. Trump is going to go on a revenge spree. Hopefully the FBI will never be the same.

The owner of WTC 7 was interviewed. He stated in the interview that he gave the ok to bring it down. I dont think this is a secret.
