I do it way too often when I'm alone. Seems like I'm not as crazy as I thought :)

By "code" mean a syntax/semantics and by "program" architecture/algorithms?

> Let U (the universe) be the set of all mainland USA states.
I hope that it's an intentional joke.

An app which only requires 50-100MB released by a major software vendor in 2020. I am shocked. It's a bit short on features though. Hopefully, that's not going to break its neck.

Kudos for citing Bloomberg as a source.

> is that an American spent his money how he liked
Caps on campaign spending are there for reasons. A campaign should contribute to meaningful public discourse. Nothing more.
> the American media is free enough to have reported on it
Private media can be biased. Either explicitly (lying to peoples faces), or implicitly (self-censorship on stuff related to the owner). Surprisingly, in several countries - such as Britain or Czech Republic - state-owned media are the one sticking to higher values.
> American citizens are now well-informed enough to know that some of the folks they talk to online are paid, and the American election will be based on the interactions of a free people
Well, there are multiple studies in several countries which show the opposite. Quick google search yields one such https://thehill.com/homenews/media/392870-pew-study-finds-am...

I thought so as well - up until yesterday when I tried desktop version of Microsoft Outlook. Such an awful experience. Just trying to pick an available meeting room was surprisingly more difficult than on the modern web. And I can hardly see how even Microsoft could bring the web experience to desktop in the future without somehow leveraging the existing online version.

Sometimes I have a "how awful would it be to do XY" moments. Usually something brutal. But it always makes me pay even more attention to not doing that very thing even accidentally because I definitely do not want to break stuff or hurt someone. Yet it makes me a bit nervous. What if I actually decided to do that? Fortunately it never happens when I'm under influence. Do I need help?

It's harder to believe that there is _no way to leak information_ than the opposite. There is always a side channel, right? Timing is the most trivial one.

Most of the issues outlined are problems of the web. The HTML+CSS+JS combo is just painfully slow and wasteful by design - it's just way too many levels of flexible abstractions. Which is suboptimal for app development. Moreover it's expensive to maintain two apps - web and native - which share have the exact same UI/UX. Hence the rise of Electron, React Native , ...
The only way out of this is to rethink the web. Which is a hard one to tackle.

That's more than a century ago. I was thinking about stuff built like in 1850-1950.
