I'm not writing it off. I think it's a good idea to bring more options to the web. I tried it last year, but as you state and I agree, it's not ready yet. In my experience in SF I encounter many never-JSers. Being a JS fan, f

Yea maybe I see this because I feel threatened in some way. Not desirable!

Cool. Thanks

Good questions. WASM at this point seems more a locus of JS hate than anything practical. To create something cool, novel, and useful should be the goal, not avoid or use a certain language.

Such hate for JavaScript. To say JS needs to lose for you to win says more about you than it does JS. Just a thought. I see a world where there are many winners and one where WASM and JS and whatever you want can fulfill their need where ne

A public label is often only surface deep. For example, Google's original motto was: "Don't be evil."

They care because they've been given a voice. Yet lack the power and respect of someone like Elon Musk. It's best to ignore them, if possible.

False comparison. Google users are voluntary. No one forces someone to use Google like the Government forces someone to pay tax.

When I hear this, I hear jobs and the most revolutionary green company are not welcome. If that's the case, Berlin is lost. There is good and bad to gentrification. You don't hear stories of the people who bought their house for 5

Something shocking something Germans were always evil patriarchs. For all of time. The study is titled "Kinship-based social inequality in Bronze Age Europe." I question this study, which is behind a paywall. So the idea is women

Wait, things are not as bad as has been crammed down our throats for years? Imagine my surprise. But, yet many armchair doomsayers will still only find the negative. Yes, this isn't perfect. But neither am I. Or you. Peace

Greater taxes, government programs to 'save the world'.

I agree. With the current state of the government and media the doom and gloom is mostly a power grab and a further means to divide. But I also agree there is an issue. Which I don't doubt you do too. Having the simultaneous position o

It's the same thing happening in Politics. But it's also why I'd argue people are realizing how fake this whole charade is as our society falls further into the gutter. And truly it is more fun to work together solving hard p

I agree as far as unimaginably powerful. However, see: Iraq War, Afghan War, Am. Revolution, Guerilla warfare, etc. And it's not a fantasy.

What you describe is what I've heard summarizes the state of KS. Both sides are entrenched and talking past each other while the actual product and company continue to slide into the gutter. Seems to me both sides would rather plant th

I appreciate your sensible take on this. From what I've heard from a KS employee, it's been anything but sensible, from both sides. To add to that. Said employee described the lack of product leadership (constant changing vision,

Exactly. Hence, to me, the 2nd Amendment of US Constitution. Obviously it's and absolute last ditch, not taken lightly and very undesirable. But, to have the option, is true sovereignty to me.

I get what you're saying and share your idealism. But you've been the beneficiary of many, many guns. And much violence. So while you may sound good, it's not based in reality. Regardless, violence is relatively at a historic

In a failed state scenario, as you mentioned, what's the recourse of the people?

Sounds like they need another check from the US government.

True. And your employees will not have the choice to see a doctor outside of Kaiser's vertical integration. Even if necessary. Further, since they are all vertically integrated they will necessitate care that is in line with their syst

True. However, there's a difference between death panel singular and death panels plural.

Your argument assumes Chinese citizens using Google is somehow better for them than Baidu. I have no idea. But I will not make the claim to know what's best for 1.6B, as you do. But to go down that road, I'd argue it's worse

Self-governed sovereignty. You and the American entities mentioned believe this. And seek to protect it. Including trademark violators, for example (who threaten Apple's 'kingdom' so to speak).

Unfortunately it seems both countries (or large entities therein: US Politicians, Google, US Media, etc.) are in fact, allied, whether aware or not, with the Communist Party of China. Seems we'd best be served to first collectively rea

I don't follow. If Google helps entities that censor, they censor, or at least are complicit in some way. Further, there's the whole 'national security' angle. Whether real or imagined, some people don't like the id
