They didn't invent it quickly enough i.e. they generally lagged behind Eurasian civilizations by several thousand years so by 1500 they were approximately still stuck in the bronze age or so.
American agriculture was very advanced for the time and the crops and ideas developed transformed food and agriculture throughout the rest of the world. What was lacking were beasts of burden and metallurgy and resistance to smallpox.
No, compared to everything else in those apps. i.e. if they are writing extremely bloated Electron apps why would the native version be less slow and bloated? I mean Electron's overhead is mostly fixed (it's still a lot but its possible to keep memory usage we below 1 GB or even 500 BB even for more complex applications).
A native app that compiles to machine language and uses shared system libraries is by definition going to take less memory and resources than code + web browser +Javascript VM + memory to keep JITd byte code.
Write a “Hello World” in C++ that pops up a dialog box compared to writing the same as an Electron app.
Yes, exactly, that's what I said. There is significant overhead but is it the only or the main reason why these apps are so slow and inefficient? It's perfectly easy to write slow and inefficient code in C++ as well...
It's not self evident this is caused by regulation.
And regulation generally certainly works when it come to regulating and splitting up monopolies and oligopolies, workers right and etc. (US has plenty of both even if its occasionally idiosyncratic)
Exception in those days it took a lot of time and effort to build software and you couldn't just do it by answering a few multi choice questions on a phone.
Except it can’t happen in that environment. Twitter always was and is inherently unsuitable for any semi-productive discussion due its format.
However that is besides the point any discussion in such “free” environment will be drowned by noise and bigotry (from both sides). Pretending otherwise is silly.
More like the fact that Elon Musk literally bought himself a cabinet position and basically the president himself in almost the most blatant and transparently corrupt way possible.
> it's sad
Even more sad when people lack the concept of nuance and see the world as entirely black and white.
How is Elon Musk any different from the plethora of famous people endorsing democrats? I am guessing you don't think they are corrupt?
This double standards is what people are fed up with and people just don't care what mainstream news have tp say anymore because we can listen to the people we want to listen to directly without journalists as a filter.
There used to be some kind of honor in media but like in everything else that has evaporated so now they have made themselves irrelevant.

They don't want cabinet positions, lol. Trump has spoken on choosing pretty awful unqualified people for his cabinet and various agencies.
This isn't some unknown secret, it's his strategy. Of course, he's going to appoint the dude who doesn't believe in climate change to run the EPA. There's no point in denying this flavor of corruption, because it's intentional and obvious GOP strategy and has been for decades.
