Well, if only women could be more trustworthy, we might get rape convictions, and then more crimes would be reported and investigated. But unfortunately, as we all know, women don't know when they've been raped. That's a man's job to decide.

"Is it just to narrow the number of people who can replace them?"

The complete opposite. The thinking is that if you use a popular framework you can easily find talent who knows how your system works.

The fact that this breaks down when you have a website backed by 372 micro-services written in 7 different languages and that simple tasks like checking a log now require specific knowledge of additional tools is orthogonal to the original idea of having a platform with a large labor pool of people who require minimal onboarding.

If a search for "playdate" comes up with objectionable shit, that says a lot about how your behavior has driven your search algorithm.

The newspaper is founded by the same person who founded the Christian science movement.

That's why when you read climate denialism claims, they are not saying "ignore the storm and the heat, you just don't remember the 70s very well", but instead they are saying "sunspot activity has been increasing lately and we're coming out of an ice age; what'd you expect?" And then they drive away rolling coal.

Should be the first four Black Sabbath albums

I do. I worked at an ISP in the 90s. No data centers were involved. We had a server room and a phone closet, sure. But ubiquitous data centers come later, after the wide commercialization of the Internet.

Christian Science Monitor is actually a decent news source. You obviously can't avoid bias on stories about faith and religion, but otherwise, it's pretty neutral.
