Almost as if that "industry pushback" argument was not made in good faith? I wonder who would be against electric vehicles?

> I wonder who would be against electric vehicles?

The fossil fuel industry ?

And car companies, who made the classic “holding back the tide” strategic blunder and basically created Tesla, BYD, and others.

Turns out the market routes right around slow movers.

What!? As if to suggest! An assertion most improper!

D) Die. I'll reach my expected lifespan by then. If possible, move to a serious, stable country before then.

When you're a solution in search of a problem, you'll try to shoehorn your "solution" into everything.

"This isn't what I wanted to buy, I said my feet are a size 10 and these aren't even shoes!"

"You're absolutely right! Shoes go on feet, and each of your 10 feet could wear shoes. Would you like me to research shoes and purchase them for you?"

No, during war you have refugees doing that. But where are these immigrants looking for free handouts? All the ones coming here are looking for work.

My first dev job was a Notes developer. It really was an amazing piece of tech in hindsight. IMO their real folly was chasing the web trend; at its heart it was a groupware product, and they tried to make it be too many things to everybody. I spent most of my time trying to wrestle it into doing things it wasn't meant to do. It got me extremely proficient with LotusScript which led to other opportunities (Hello ASP!) but the whole thing is a shame. Had they stayed in their lane with the product, it might still be alive and widely used today.

For that matter, had they invested in a web plugin that treated domino as a thin client server, they may also still be around today. Though load balancing would probably take a bit more work.

All 20 participants are going to be severely disappointed.

This is a long way to say "let's crowdsource the shifting of our goalposts".

I think it's a little late for that.
