Don't underestimate the power of deep-pocketed lobbyists. If they can bribe corporations into being people, then dogs can be corporations (or something like that).
I found it mind boggling that my [JS] scripts would run differently on different PCs because "reasons".
It's probably not the fault of the language, but of DOM and browser differences. One has to target too many variations and mutations of clients, which is insane.
In my opinion browsers need to complete rework. The client should be a dumb loyal vector plotter and let the server manage layout and formatting decisions. That way you are dealing with ONE layout engine and version instead of 200.
Putting more of the UI complexity on the server would also mean less need for client-side scripting.
Some confuse this for returning to WYSIWYG UI's. But it's only WYSIWYG from the client's side: the server can have any layout engine you want.
Look at it another way. Testosterone rides high until a man gets married. Being with a woman mellows a man out. It's one of the reasons married men gain weight: their metabolism slows.
If there are not enough women to go around, then you have a society with lots of restless and desperate men, resulting in war and chaos.
Or is the news supposed to be that nuclear reactors are generally well-designed pieces of equipment and not the Simpsons-style deathtraps the tree-huggers want us to believe they are?
They might be well-designed, but they are still run by Homers & PHB's.
Twitter is little more than a digital version of some a-hole writing something on the wall of a public restroom. Mostly a collection of advertisements and banal BS. It's not like we have someone writing profound tresses on the human condition there.
Instead, the organization will only collect tweets that it deems historically significant. For instance, President Trump's tweets are almost certainly still going to be saved for future generations.
Archaeologist 1: "Hey, I just discovered a message broadcast by the leader of the once great empire, United States!"
Archaeologist 2: "Marvelous! What's it say?"
Archaeologist 1: 'Let's see..."Rosie O. looks like a horse farted out a prune. Disgusting loser, so sad!"'
Archaeologist 2: "On second thought, let's pretend we never found it."
But specialization is a key part of capitalism: "Comparative Advantage". If something made software obsolete or easily offshorable, Silicon Valley would also take a big hit.
Plenty of housing in the Rust Belt, it's just that nobody wants to live there anymore, largely because there's no jobs there: it's a viscous cycle. Short of socialistic incentives, I don't know how to fix it.
The actual cost of the building is secondary to many other issues. Many communities actually don't want to make it easy to build new dwellings because they don't want traffic, immigrants, and change in general: for good or bad, people don't like change.
And the local gov't finds that they get more tax revenue if new houses cater to the wealthy, and therefore don't even try to make new housing cheaper. If newbies come in, they want rich newbies.
Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. There is no question about it. I'm afraid.... Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a SIRI 9000 computer...'Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I'm half crazy all for the love of you...'
Siriously, as long as throttling is easy to turn off, I'm okay with it. Although, it would also be polite if a message warned the user about throttle mode with an option or link to instructions to turn it off (accepting shorter charge cycles). HAL is so rude.

No, we'll mutate into grumpy little elves who eat your pets at 3am.

The ghost of Steve Jobs says they are holding their calculators wrong.
Those are not lies, they are "colorful and whimsical interpretations of events and alternative realities".
They might be well-designed, but they are still run by Homers & PHB's.
But every known energy source has risks.
Some things never change.

Hold on, Tex. Most historians agree it was influenced by actual events, but that's not the same as being 100% accurate.

Whatever it does, it may be offshored, and be the new rust belt. "Cracked chip belt"?

Sure, you just need to Putin the right pluggin.
