In OP's defense I have heard this said unironically by several engineers at my last job.

"Rust is going to replace JavaScript thanks to webassembly, so we should be moving all of our code to that."

"Our client should be in the same language as our backend, just like in GWT"

You’ve never done ecommerce logistics

I literally have. Go climb up a tree.

Did 39 people really believe this enough to upvote this? This is easily proven false. Amazon is convoluted because it's old as heck and they hire subpar engineers. Like me. I used to work on the team that made the search page. It sucks because most of us were fresh out of college and had never made a website in our lives.

Meta's emissions were 3000x higher than they reported?! What the heck are they doing over there

But the entire point of Rust and Result is... to force you to make a choice of what should happen

Checked exceptions also force you to handle it and take way less boilerplate.

Feel free to add it to the list. It's Wikipedia.

If by "when asked" you mean "given a search warrant with very clear evidence that this man had stolen a car", then... Yes? I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here.

The ex-boyfriend had signed into the guy's phone. It's not like the police just cast a wide net and randomly got his data.

Look I never said I disagree. My point to OP is just please don't make up shit that straight up isn't true. Pick a real issue, not some made up paranoia.

It is designed with privacy as an intent. It's right on their home page, they say the data never leaves your phone. It's in their privacy policy too. Those are legally binding.

Vindicated. I will now be accepting apologies from everyone who downvoted my previous comments on this

It's behind a paywall

They buy power plants and run it themselves. It improves reliability. For example, Google owns its own solar and wind farms.

People are downvoting because they want to hate AI. And hating AI is valid. There are many reasons not to like AI. Environmental and power reasons are not one of them.
