This word really means nothing at this point, like racist, it's so misused that it has lost its meaning.


I really don't like the idea that Shopify adopted React so deeply (Polaris is an example), not because I am a Vue developer but I would prefer Shopify to not be so opinionated about any framework.

VanillaJS is very advanced nowadays.


SalesForce built their Lightning framework with web components. It's a complete dumpster fire. Front end has settled on React for a reason; it's the best way to build UIs for the web.


Liquid is a love letter to vanillaJS. That will always be the shopify default. Ecommerce is perfect use case for the web native.


I'm shocked people are using this as a political tool =O, nobody would ever guessed that.


This claim is in the same category of Al-Gore's response that Artic Ice would vanish by 2020.


We are in 2021. Unless tabloids claim, scientific models have error intervals, so you should be aware that what Al-Gore claimed still can happen.

And failing in a single prediction does not invalidate magically all the other models. Ecological problems are complex and chaotic problems by nature. Much more complex that building an app. Being wrong is totally normal, and even necessary to understand and improve the model.

So this would be like discarding an entire program of millions of lines because, gasp, one bug was found. Bugs are expected and even welcomed. They are tests that allow us to improve much faster

If the problem is what was said by <"politician"> from <"random color"> that you dislike, you are attacking the problem in all the wrong ways.


Actually this is true, I live in Brazil and European countries really try to dictate what we can and cannot do with our Amazon, nobody should interfere in our internal affairs, that region is the most underdeveloped region of Brazil because nobody has courage to face European lobbies.

Also, is clear that the anti-petro propaganda will slow down the growth of poor/developing countries.


> I live in Brazil and European countries really try to dictate what we can and cannot do with our Amazon,

Ok. Will you please return the money paid for conservation then?


Man, the money they sent is not possible to preserve 1% of Amazon, they sent some millions expecting we would preserve a forest with the size of Europe.

If the world pays $100 per hectare it would be $50 billion/year sent to Brazil. This would make some difference, not the pennies sent here eventually.

You guys really don't know the reality of Amazon, nor the politicians there, and many here as well.


You mean in terms of conserving it?


Yes, they said is to conserve it, but everybody knows that very poor people is not thinking about environment, but thinking how they can survive the next day, they will cut centenary trees to sell wood, they will extract precious metals using poisonous substancies, etc. Apart from the fact that they should care about their forests or what's left there(if any), they developed theirselves using their resources and lobby to Brazil not use his own resources because it will "hurt the entire world".


So the loss of the rainforest is entirely due to "very poor people"? They must find it hard to afford the tools to do so.

> they developed theirselves using their resources

Are there no other people in Brazil, except very poor woodcutters, who might have some other claim to these resources?


I'm not saying that is just because of poor people, but big part is, another way they destroy it is due to fire, when they clean the terrain to plant next year, and the fire go out of control.

"They must find it hard to afford the tools to do so"

With the centenary woods in Amazon and the abundance of gold is not very hard to make money there.

There are the criminals as well, people who go to Amazon just to make money..and those should be hunt, but, since there are very big extensions of land is really hard to get those. Amazon is really huge, it's a Europe.

And since we don't extract the resources and use it to preserve the forest, there is no money to preserve it all. Wealthy countries love to complain but don't give the money necessary to preserve it ($50b/year is the needed).

A solution would be give the right of exploration to companies extract the resources in certain areas of land, get the taxes and invest in protection and require these companies to monitor a part of Amazon in exchange for the right of exploration. But since no one can touch there, is really a no mans land.


This is terrifying, how the world is not turning against china for its crimes against humanity? Uighurs labor camps and now this, where this is going.


Vulnerable people are being vaccinated for that reason. Everyone has the right to choose what they will inject in their body or not.


It's not first time the experts make mistakes in their catastrophic predictions:

And let's not forget our dear Al-Gore saying the ice on the artic would be vanished by 2014 :)


Hmm, for long distance prediction it might be wrong, but for short term predictions, everything seems to get worse. Microplastics, trash in the ocean, warmer ocean, bees dying, etc.


Looks like Gore didn’t quite understand what he thought he was quoting when he said that: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2009/12/al_gore_trip...


Oh look, AEI cherry picking.


The fact-checkers of medicine decided the truth for you, it's for your own good they say.


You nailed it.


This large BLM crowds have the costume of destroy and set fire on anything on their way, just glasses were broken yesterday. If the protestors start destroy everything surely would justify a more strong action.


That was some failed state shit that happened yesterday.


Don't know what the "costume of destroy and set fire" is, but the MAGA folks yesterday had actual weapons.
