It's super strange to observe your comment downvoted

Deception

1. Maximization of profits.

2. Attempts to regulate and attempts comply with regulations.

The rest are just forms of these phenomena.

How did python2 python3 (in)compatibility work for you?

Because we all are different. Your brain is wired in ways which makes some things easier and some things harder. Look at those who feel bored working with things you feel exited about. Find yourself (in another words whats suits your brain more) and don't try to be who you can't become.

> any advice on acquiring these basic social skills?

Find peoples with similar given and ask what worked for them. Advises from "natural" extroverts won't work for you.

Corporate talk: say correct things and do what you want

> I think we're not understanding each other here. Let me rephrase this.

That's much better. Because to understand what you meant by example one needed to know reasoning behind the example.

> Science and technology shouldn't have a political valence

It should not. I agree.

Do you agree that atomic bomb is political? At which sate atomic bomb development stops being science and starts being political? At theory level? Experiments? First device? First use of device?

At some stage we start observing that cryptocurrencies impact start having great consequences regardless of the science behind them. Great volume of electricity, centralization of power at hands of middlemen, promises of great future where benefits are reaped by early adopters already today.

Some people feel like looking at cryptocurrencies and blockchain purely from technology perspective, advocating for them, brings more harm than good. And I can understand this position of the author well.

Your comment is about as silly as the Soviet Union banning the study of genetics as a "bourgeois pseudoscience", dismissing it as "anti-Marxist".

If that can't convince you, I can't imagine how you imagine your argument work.

It showed me perspective I did not see before. Nice article.

Nevermind. I saw the code by the link.

> Application state is a trivial problem to solve.

This is very interesting. Can you show example which you believe trivially solves state?

> one that really tackles the data layer well

I believe this should be rxjs. It's composable: have a stream or streams create new derived streams easily. It's lazy: you can describe what to do with data before it's available. Handling state for the multi step or async operations (loading state, cancelling requests, retrying operations) is a breeze. "Wire" your application with rxjs and you'll never have trouble modelling state with it. Typescript-friendly. It allows be both sync access to the value (BehaviourSubject) and async (Observable). I work with it closely last year and there was no situation I could not model with rxjs.

But people will stick to whatever is hyped by well-known-internet-company. Marketing wins, not quality.

Marketing the marketing. Good try but not.

Same as unmasking
