Correct and exactly how it is supposed to work. What do you expect a business owner to do when the job of a worker is not profitable / necessary any more? Pay him forever out of their own pocket, taking a loss? If you've ever hired qualified personnel, you know how hard it is to find good people. No good business owner would fire a good employee for a whim. They'd keep them as long as possible (even when temporarily there's no work)

Other thing is if it's easy to re-hire when there is profitable work again. This happens where there's much more offer (of workers) than demand. For example jobs with low cualification.

So, get rid of manipulating the money supply and economy and the rest will sort itself out.

We already have LISP. Every once in a while someone invents a new language to solve some old problem, and as the new language evolves, it becomes closer and closer to LISP.

Why say boutique? Why not specialized or small or purpose-built or targeted? Engggrish, you speak it?

Finally! You've done it! All the other front end architectures Are meant to be non-practical. Say what's special your solution in the title. Avoid using empty words. Less nose, more signal

Wtf is non-structural pattern matching? Pattern ~ structure. It's like saying eruptive explosion.

Stop trying to look more important and smart by using more (unnecessary) words.

How about building more nuclear electric stations? The nuclear energy production hasn't increased in the US for past 30 years, while oil and gas have exploded. Retards. Saame thing in EU - closing down the plants in Germany and Spain

You don't seem to understand bitcoin. You're talking about cashing out. Why would anyone cash out from bitcoin? Ok, you get some dollars. What do you do with them? They lose >10% yearly, whereas BTC has gained >200% yearly over the past 10 years.

Instead you hold it. And if you need money you borrow against it.

Likely the poorer people won't be able to save & hold much bitcoin at least in the beginning. But the government can keep their reserves (and pension funds for example) in BTC and thus benefit everybody.

Why would you spend money on crappy and locked down hardware that can't be fixed. A computer that you don't own but basically rent. Get a Lenovo Thinkpad and join the light side, you'll be amazed!

So does government money. And these uses are only a small percentage. I'd be like banning internet because it allows false news/cons/<your vice of choice>
