Ironic how DHH ditched everything Apple after the whole lawsuit shenanigans, but keeps using Google stuff.
Similarly that people are interested in running anything made by him after he's repeatedly shown his true colors.

programmer, then also?
Maybe, but carpentry, plumbing, electrician, mechanic, etc all typically have apprenticeship opportunities and its extremely rare to encounter anything in the tech field like this.
Additionally, the trades above don't have new tooling that comes out every few years that completely changes things, while the tech industry loves to re-invent the wheel frequently.

How much of the issue is long replacement cycles? No wonder companies introduce planned obsolescence.
If they sold replacement parts and batteries we'd be fine and they're have their recurring revenue.
Scumbag companies continue to be scum.

Do you have any proof that radio DJs are less prevalent now than in the past? I'm having trouble finding evidence of that.
Clearchannel (which became IheartRadio) owns most radio stations (>850) in the US. They fired hundreds of DJ's in ~2011.

When I was a kid in the 1980's I used to call the DJ and request songs A LOT. When I was a teen I used to call in to win contests. Now when I listen to a 'I<3Radio' station in the garage, its clear all the DJ segments are pre-recorded and everything is automated. Its all soundbites. Its all garbage. Its all advertisements. Its the same ~30 songs on rotation.

I feel like I'm one of the few people who won't touch the tech for anything work related. I've used it to generate character backstories in Dungeons and Dragons, but I wouldn't trust it for anything reality based. I don't know what everybody is smoking.
No

I haven't followed this closely, but I assumed it was related to a foreign entity having the ability to hyper-target content towards said 17 year olds (and the entire userbase in general) -- A modern form of psychological warfare.
Like Cambridge Analytica (who used Facebook to do exactly this for the 2016 election).

Because China is a rival geopolitical power and the US is... us.
It's a national security concern. I get that there's a lot of conversation and debate to be had on the topic but the answer here is very straightforward and I don't understand why people are so obtuse about it.
Surely China can just buy all the data that's being collected by US companies and sold. So whats the difference here?
