<p>Common sense proposed the lab leak. Was absurd and scary how easily it was dismissed in pretty much the entire Western media, not only the US. Even this forum got subjected to it.</p>

<p>There is also an aspect where it goes from science to policy, and there is this step where certain parts of society simple state: "how dare you think you know better then x, who studied y for x amount of year, or this scientist".<p>It happens here too. During Covid, also here the lab leak theory was talked as a crazy non-scientific conspiracy.</p>

<p>You are describing corporate red tape for your organization. Those things were already possible before the cloud hype of last 5-8 years.<p>Anyway the point is also not that cloud didn't solve any issues but that by solving 1 issue, you get 5 new issues, and you solve one of those and you get again 5 new ones. And the loop keeps going endlessly.</p>

<p>There are meetups on all kinds of topics all over the world that are free to attend.<p>If you crave social connections, but dont know how to make them, you havent learned a coreskill for being a human and there are much deeper issues, such as depression, at play. Would be time to look at therapy or other more structural solutions.<p>An app won't solve your social & community issues.</p>

<p>It's offering to make a food-recipe, in there is the assumption that it's eatable.<p>If you are asking to make a recipe of a bike & sand, it should simply say not possible.<p>Im not saying you shouldn't launch, or call it a fun or experimental tool, but to just disclaimer your way out of things is too easy.</p>

<p>Not to marginalize your idea, but an app is also just a surface level solution. A quick fix, not useless, but not longterm.<p>Isn't the traditional solution not just to pick up some hobby's, go out, some cultural events?<p>It's not easy at times, but especially at events with shared interests it's normally easiest to connect to like minded people, and those connection have a chance of lasting.</p>

<p>I love how we just build complexity upon complexity. A tool for all the problems that this new tool gave that was solving all these other tools. A never ending mountain of complexity. In that sense coding (and hosting) is like the law. The entire ecosystem will just keep expanding in complexity decade by decade</p>

<p>I think main issue is that react is easy to integrate with node, next etc. But python, php (laravel) etc. cant just run react-dom on the server. However would be interesting to see react-dom builders for php & python that would allow you to user react as a templating language in Laravel & Django.</p>

<p>Repetition can definitely cause big issues.<p>Most of time you want business logic in the same place. In a big & old codebase it can be very hard to fix things if there are multiple places.<p>But certain things can be easily repeated.</p>

<p>Just because they will below sea level doesn't mean they will all die. That's a bit ludicrous. Even more ludicrous are your nrs 4-5 meters, will get to that.<p>Whole of Holland is below sea level at the moment. Yet we are miraculously sitil alive.<p>To take it further, in a 100 years every house in Holland that's here now will still be standing.<p>Now certain countries don't have the skills that the Dutch have, and we should help them. But this isn't something that will come unexpected, so we have the time to do so. Half of Dubai was created out of the sea.<p>But, even then 4-5 meters is too much. Worst case is less then 1m. Till now we got 20cm. Expectance by Dutch gov. is this between another 20 and 86 cm in the next century: <a href="https://www.knmi.nl/kennis-en-datacentrum/uitleg/zeespiegelstijging" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.knmi.nl/kennis-en-datacentrum/uitleg/zeespiegels...</a><p>Back to the medical argument. Even if parts are flooded, which is terrible. Moving away is not the same as not being able to use your brain or dying.</p>

<p>Yeah but there is more to it. There are active crisis, like cancer & heart disease. Or upcoming ones like Alzeimer & Parkinson. That in the current day already affect more people per year, then the climate crisis will affect in the worst prognoses in a 100 years*.<p>But Climate change is different, it speaks to the psyche of humans, the modern story of the flood. And in the same way it gives people meaning & without religion in the West they form morality around it. Those for it, are good, those against it, are bad.<p>That doesn't mean its not something important or real, and we have to solve it. But it's one of the many things for us humans to solve.<p>*In worst prognoses, climate changes will affect 10 mil deaths per year, which is the same amount cancer is doing every year today.</p>

<p>Really like the idea and works well.<p>Audio woule be the killer feature, I would make beginner easier or add starter/kid level, now it's still quite complicated:<p>"¡Hola! ¿Cómo estás? ¿Listo para practicar un poco de español sobre el tema del trabajo? ¿Hay algo en particular que te gustaría aprender o discutir?"<p>A little bit more guidance in type of conversation would also be great, maybe some tracks, or some maybe some scene to start with (as duolingo does with stories) so you don't have to put mental effort in. (you are in a restaurant order food, the waiter drops drink etc....)</p>
