If you don't use node, what do you use? You will have the exact same problems if you want to use a library.

- steals cookies and browser data on windows: this means your browser cookies and all logged in accounts might be compromised. Maybe even passwords saved in browser. I'd even extend to password manager extensions.

- crypto miner on both platforms

- maybe: changes registry for existing crypto miners

Did you try typescript? Now I can write for hours without trying out the app. And when I try... It just works

IPhone shares data via Bluetooth. Windows shares data to download updates. I'm sure Android is similar. Samsung find my phone use network from other Samsungs nearby.

I guess it's game over

It's suggest gatsby. You'll need javascript at some point and you don't want to deal with generated javascript or some hacked together javascript.

Anything else that's not js, imo you're making the biggest mistake... Eventually you'll need js...

Who in their right mind would work with php?

Variables from lops can bleed through all code imports. Nightmare!

You find a bug in wordpress... Good luck ever finding it.

You got virus on wordpress. You'll never be able to get rid of it.

You want to add a form? Easy, plugin. Next week upgrade, all broken. Good look making things working again.

Actually all these problems above are solvable... But now you wasted three same time as doing it properly. And you still end up with a piece of $hit...

I think it's more about the type of things you want to waste your time: hacking wordpress or doing beautiful robust engineering.

One is pleasant, other is a nightmare. That's my view, might be different for others.

I'm just building websites with gatsby with some extra features that can reused in new websites: when I fix one website, all websites will get that fix. With wordpress it's not really easily doable.

I'm running more than 100 websites this way and more and more people and business come to me because they want 100 Google page speed and don't want to be bothered with wordpress or doing their own gatsby (even gatsby is not great out of the box).

New comment by roofwellhams in "Absolute wealth, relative wealth, taxes, and staying rich"

I think makes sense.

To get rich 10 years ago with tax 30% it's easier than getting rich now with tax 40 or 50.

So they are pushing for higher tax so new riches are less motivated and reduce their changes too

Try to debug that nightmare. Usually you'll need to debug compiled code.

Do you really think that 1s delay will influence any income... I really doubt it.

But considering that there is so much money at stake, an elaborate plan like this... It's possible. Actually it's not even that elaborate. You just need a vpn, and do the split based on news.

Let's say I'm a bad actor in us. I hear about this event in China and I start to do the 2nd chain. You'll think that China region was doing that 25% but maybe they were only doing 1% and I did the other 24%.

They're is literally no way to know what really happen.

What if this drop in hash is to use on the 2nd chain?
