I'm not a fan of the "hidden global variable framework" sort of DI. If you like it, though, then yes, this path is available to React as well.

React's biggest mistake was using classes as component types and instances of those classes (objects) as component instances. This ruined dependency injection in React forever. If they had used objects as component types instead, a lot would be improved.

Choose another issue at random, burn it, and be free!

Cardinals who vote for "Peter the Roman" to be the next pope... what would they be thinking?

But, Studio Ghibli is suddenly far more famous than it used to be, with far more fans that appreciate its work and know where it comes from.

Studio Ghibli will likely be getting a lot more work and commanding much higher prices.

Some artists are hurt by AI, but this one doesn't make your case.

How much machine do you have to use before it's no longer "by hand"?

Employees who are dedicated to their work get more done from home, but in companies with a lot of non-dedicated workers and (therefore) an adversarial relationship with management, WFH makes management nearly impossible and productivity tanks when there's no cracking whip.

MOND would seem a lot less silly if it was caused by the planar shape of the galaxy somehow "focusing" gravity into that plane. Just sayin'

OK, but "mother of 3 sons" doesn't support your opinion on this anymore than "father of 3 daughters" would support my opinion on the deep nature of girls.

Pluto has enough problems without you piling on. LEAVE PLUTO ALONE!

I'm sure the vast majority of republicans know that he isn't the right one for the job.

You don't just need more homes. You need more *smaller, cheaper* homes. To get that, you just need to fix laws and regulations to make those profitable.

I don't know how things are where you live, but around here, minor landlords run terrible risks, because it's impossible to evict bad tenants.

Wow, that's actually awesome. A breath of fresh air. Equality FTW.

I'm glad we have universal health care, but every time I need health care I find myself wishing that I could just pay for it instead of waiting for hours to prove that I want it enough.

We need a better way to decide who gets what in the non-life-threatening regime.

What we know as facts changes over time as we learn.

Free (dissenting) speech is the mechanism by which that happens.

Fact checking works against that by suppressing this dissenting speech, allowing only the reiteration of currently accepted facts.

But a lot of what makes you awesome is the result of some rich guy's drive to succeed. You want more people like that, not less, and so you should not single them out for punishment. If they feel that your country is hostile to them, they will not stick around.

Dubai is pretty nice.

Agree, but that's what property taxes are for, and they don't discriminate based on income or non-real-estate wealth.

I guess it depends what we mean by a "whopping big tax". I don't think the eat-the-rich crowd would be happy if the super rich were still happy.

The super rich don't need to live in your country.

It's naive to think that 24 billion would be spent so much better than the > 600 billion in taxes that the UK already collects.

You know all those people who took an oath to support, defend, bear true faith, and allegiance to the constitution?

They changed their mind.

That's exactly British Janeway

We just cut off the unnecessary wires. Power supplies aren't forever.

I understand. I think you've been taken in by the cult of sacrifice.

1) That marketing was one of the things he did, and it was key.
2) True that success required all those things. Also true that Elon made it happen.
3) The alternative to electric cars is gas-powered cars, which are worse all around. Public transit has limits.

Correct :)

Tesla would have gone nowhere without Elon. He was the one who made electric cars something people want instead of a virtue-signaling sacrifice, and that unlocked adoption.

Widespread adoption of electric transportation will save species in the end.

What we want determines what we buy. A free market solves all our collective problems, modulo the tragedy of the commons. That last is a difficult nut to crack - requires transparency, free flow of information, regulation, and enforcement. But these are things that our society at least aims for.
