Losing my home would suck, but the prospect of having a semiconductor fab in my country, in my city even, is so exciting that I would be 100% on board with it.

The only losers are foreign adversaries who would prefer it if your country didn't develop high-tech infrastructure and businesses.

Not really. Many scenarios where that would mean spending 50x the time or hiring a team.

It would be highly impractical to go to war with all of them at once, but USA can still fix one country at time. Venezuella, Iran, hopefully Cuba next.

Kitchen knives actually do have safety features, such as non-slip handles and finger guards, which users appreciate. I certainly do. Users also appreciate safeguards in cli tools, such as not deleting all data if input happens to be slightly wrong. Sure, you could design your tool to be used exclusively by leet hackers, but the idea of sanitizing your inputs is not completely preposterous.

Why not? It wouldn't be acceptable in any other context - like running a lawn mower that spits oil onto your neighbor's lawn.

There is a plausible scenario in which a user finds some malicious example of cli params for running your command and pasts it in the terminal. You don't have to handle this scenario, but it would be nice to.

The most interesting data running through Starlink is Ukrainian and Russian military comms (including feeds from drones). I wonder if Musk actually plans to tap into that.

You will need to implement some very invasive issuing mechanism to ensure that only those with a pulse can procure new keys. Even then, keys will still be bought or stolen - as was the case with pre-Elon Twitter checkmarks.

Bots can authenticate just as well as human users. Both bots and trolls are completely different set of issues that cannot easily be solved, regardless of your approach.

USA is not Russia. I don't think an order could ever be made to level a "rebellious" city, and even if it were, it would never be followed.

> How doable is it with vanilla css?

Under all of the framework complexity that specific look is still achieved with CSS. In fact, you could rip out the CSS they use with very little modification and pair it with a ~five-line React component that doesn't require any third-party imports.

Most of Ukraine doesn't need to do it. The internet infrastructure is largely intact and very decentralised. The biggest challenge is the lengthy power outages, but mobile networks keeps running thanks to generators.

I think that there are more apps that are better off as web apps (cross platform and sandboxed) than not.
