You can also look at it as a "scorched earth" strategy.

If an adjacent business can profit, it can build a war-chest and invest that in attacking your niche.

So destroy the potential profitability of their sector by giving away a free alternative.

This, and sooo many other shortcomings, begins to explain why a submission extolling Go's error handling is already flagged.

Go, and it's error handling (and for that matter it ludicrously verbose failure to bubble up errors) is a steaming pile of shit.

Ideas are like assholes ... everybody has one and they're usually full of shit.

US laws prioritize corporations over people.

EU laws prioritize people over corporations.

So EU corps selling in the US can bleed their customers dry, just like the local US corps.

And US corps operating in the EU are restricted in the people's interest, just like the local EU corps.

This is the just application of the respective laws as they stand.

This is the outcome the respective populations voted for.

Although the rest of the world does wonder what the US voters were thinking ...

The First Cat War 2 years ago

Articles from 1916 and 1923 are not necessarily the "best source of truth".

Understanding of "the facts" evolves with hindsight.

After all ... Adolf Hitler was Time Magazine's Man of the Year in 1938, and Joseph Stalin featured twice 1939, 1942.

Times change.

The book is internally inconsistent, with the author cherry-picking "facts" to support his own prejudices. In some cases the same data is used for mutually exclusive conclusions in different chapters. Basically, he making up conclusions and then throwing any shit against the wall in the hope it sticks, with no regard for what he's already said in the same book.

It's pseudo-science, designed to let complacent readers validate their prejudices, and pat themselves on the back.

How many "tech layoffs" really are what would have been considered "tech" pre-2010?

Most of these layoffs seem to be dominated by "tech adjacent" roles ... that bloated "engineering" when there was lots of easy money.
