Incessant nit picking, negativity and doubt casting is my issue.

And Canada is unrecognizable these days. Why should I think past performance is indicative of future success?

Why is HN so pessimistic?

Zero cost to run fiber to every household on earth??

Not for the data center, for the fiber lines.

You see how it's impossible to regulate technology? I don't want my tax dollars funding impossible missions.

I'd blame technology altogether. People are losing their purpose.

The difference is whether or not the platform is for-profit. If the goal of the platform is to make money, decisions will be made to keep people more addicted than would otherwise be natural. And that's the problem.

Ok, let's say you were going to start a brand new project today. What tech would you use?

"...these days." Don't quote me out of context.

I made another comment about it. But the answer is Scala is the number one language for building hardware these days via Chisel.

I learned recently that one of the killer apps for Scala seems to be in hardware design. Chisel [0] is the core technology of the best open source RISC-V chips. Chipyard [1] is designing leading edge type OOE and AI chips and all of the code is written in Scala. Personally, I can't wait for some of these designs to start being mass produced and put in laptops and phones.
