It can't be that hard to google? That being said, only 14% of reactors use rivers to cool, so OP may be exaggerating a bit.


I don't know what startups you work at, but in the early stage I'm focused on keeping costs down as far as possible and producing features as fast as possible; not spending time architecting something I can do once I have a team and enough capital to develop it.

A single frontend, single backend, a single DBMS, a single data analysis tool which can connect directly. I don't need a warehouse when I have 5k users.


The is little intersection between people who do frontend development and people who are comfortable at that level with Java.

Considering the tooling for almost any frontend framework is leaps and bounds ahead any of those two frameworks, it's a no brainer why no one uses it, in my opinion.


The fact that the pile of tools required to get a web to do anything useful is such a terrible mess including Angular and React is why I'm in full dismay that they are used by otherwise intelligent developers at all.


Where and how exactly? I'm not a huge crypto fan, but what you're saying is generally a huge problem with FIAT, unless you are sending it to someone in the same country as you.


see PayPal, TransferWise, IBAN etc.


Have you used paypal extensively? Have you not read the MANY horror stories about its arbitrary blocks, lockouts, outright thefts of funds or at least months-long freezes and so forth? All of these things happen with many other corporate platforms. Sure, they also work for millions of people but it's good to at least have an alternative that can be called on for when things go bad or you live in a place where banking isn't as smooth as it often is in interconnected western countries. What's wrong with having that? One doesn't need to be an NFT hustler, cryptobro or shitcoin scammer to appreciate these basic benefits of a means of wealth transfer that it's very difficult for governments to control.


I actually haven't heard the horror stories but I have been using PayPal relatively extensively since at least 2007 and never ever had an issue. Aside from many retail purchases in the UK I've used it to send money around the world also. I'm also pretty sure TransferWise (now "Wise") works for sending money across most of the world. Plus the latter is regulated in the UK so I know that up to £85k is guaranteed by the government to be safe. I am one of the bigger critics of government yet I trust them a lot more than anyone in crypto. Sure they've done bad, but at least they've done some good too.

I'm definitely not a crypto hater, I have used several cryptocurrencies somewhat. I wouldn't call it that smooth, and I'd also worry significantly about the lack of regulation (despite that being one of the main selling points of crypto) and the wild volatility.



As i said, as previous poster was generalizing, so was I.

Microsoft, at least with vscode, is open about that - but what about other products?


I don't really get it, it's just a product that has gone off the shelf. The xbox 360 isn't 'dead' it's just no longer sold. I don't think the kinect is any different in that sense, seeing as no new games use it.


From the Author:

>I cannot think of any honest data collection issue that would result in such underdispersion. I believe this does automatically mean some amount of data tampering (which may not necessarily have malicious intent though; but for most countries on the list I suspect it does).


I'm guessing because they give you protection without actually catching the potentially harmful virus in the first place?


No they used "only" as in "not very long". The question is asking how can you say it's not very long when the covid vaccination lasts less than a year in comparison


6 months is pretty short in both cases, but I think darkcha0s has me right, the cost is much lower in the vaccination case.

For a much most positive example of how that matters:

“How long did he retire for?“ “Only six months“

vs.

“How long did he go on holiday for?“ “Only six months“


Not mobile friendly. My experience is ruined.


Honestly, I've yet to find a backend that is as productive and performant as C# + Entity Framework out of the box. I've tried a wide array of other products, but somehow for ease of use this really sticks out. Of course scalability maybe be in an issue in the long run with EF, but I don't know if simplest and scalability really go hand in hand.
