My bet is on "humans".

My main complaint is that foreign big tech companies, or rather their shareholders, often exploit local resources like green energy, sparse living space, people’s privacy to generate large profits and take it home. Often avoiding responsibility by not paying taxes.

It’s business as usual, different industry, same shit.

In the Netherlands locals were appalled when locally produced green energy was pretty much all taken by a new foreign datacenter.

Can’t help but think big tech is becoming a burden on society and the environment.

Read from an URL:

    vim <(curl -fsL https://news.ycombinator.com)

This creates a temporary file descriptor from the output of the invoked sub shell.

Read standard input in a shell script:

    #!/usr/bin/env bash
    cat <&0 > $(date +%s).txt

API Bootstrapping

What if you could slap something like Caddy in front of any API and provide authentication, analytics even billing out of the box.

  - Rate limiting
  - Billing
  - Authentication and Authorization using OAuth or JWT
  - Analytics/Metrics
  - Geo Location
  - TLS
  - HTTP2?
  - Image optimization
  - Content minification
  - Gzip
  - Signaling Slack/Push/SMS
  - Caching through cloud storage S3, BlackBlaze B2
  - PostgREST

I think I can hear John Siracusa cheering from the other side of the pond.

Exactly.

A timezone-range would be the preferred method.

Countries are too limited and continents to broad as their timezone can range more than 4 hours.

Would be great if companies would list their preferred timezones, especially for non-US job seekers.

Example: UTC-01:00 - UTC+02:00

It will take time, most likely a generation.

The generation preceding the current generation will be better educated and take-on the more skill demanding jobs.
