This discussion always leaves out LFTR

Top comment: "Advantages of thorium:

Much safer than uranium-no pressure vesel, no fuel rods to melt down

Much simpler reactor-Thorium salt liquid is pumped from the reactor tank through a heat exchanger and back into the tank

Thorium is much more plentiful than uranium--in fact so plentiful it is considered a waste product from rare earth mining

Thorium doesn't need expensive enriching to make it usable

Thorium is of little use for weapons

If power goes off liquid fuel simply drains into a pit which stops reaction. No fuel rods to cool or melt down if power fails

This technology has been around for years. Why was it not developed long ago?"

Photogrammetry apps, right?

The irony of the push for "diversity" everywhere is that it all gets averaged together over time, becoming more homogeneous. To increase diversity, you need zones of heterogeneity that express wider differences.

It's not a strawman, it's watered down by being averaged with things like software prices and flatscreen TVs going down.

Doesn't it make you wonder what they would say about the Founding Fathers had they lost?

Yes but it's super barebones. Its successor, Ryan Dahl's second attempt at JS runtime, Deno, has a much fuller standard library (inspired by Go).

They were cheering it on a week or two ago when it was against Russians.

My favorite was when they were licking their lips and reaching ecstasy over Parler getting deplatformed but then throwing a tantrum like a week later when Terraria dev got banned by Google.

Terraria guy and this guy simply need to build their own Google, Gmail, Play Store, and Android, easy! ;)

Customer support is provided for sub $20 items from e commerce sites who don't have Google's market cap. Not to mention that a customer support agent's time isn't exactly worth hundreds of dollars an hour.

"If you don't like it, build your own",

Is what most people on this site say against demographics they don't like, when it happens to them, so let's keep the ball rolling.

If you don't like it, build your own Google, Android, Phone, and Play Store. Easy !

What other way do you have to do this?

First sentence of the Bitcoin whitepaper: "A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution."

All that's required for people to exchange it for something tangible, is for people to start.

Not far off from how much airtime / mindshare their ideas get.

Can start with people who aren't citizens (overseas "investors"), and then people who may be citizens, but don't have the country as their primary residence. And then beyond a certain number / distance (discourage absentee landlords).

What's wrong with preferring your nation (language, culture, geography - doesn't necessarily map 1:1 to countries) over others, while living in your nation?

I'd be more worried about people who place other nations above mine while living in mine.

I also think you misread him.

He said something like: accessibility cannot be simply duct-taped on. It's a fundamental part of the core web technologies, that all the JS frameworks have obsfucated.
