Or the original plot of The Matrix, before the studio execs decided audiences were too stupid.

As long as I don't have to maintain it.

The "solution" is to curate things, invest massive human resources in it

Hilariously, Google actually used to do this: they had a database called the "knowledge graph" that slowly accumulated verified information and relationships between commonly-queried entities, producing an excellent corpus of reliable, easy-to-find information about a large number of common topics.

Then they decided having people curate things was too expensive and gave up on it.

Thank you! You would not believe how long I've been trying to figure out where the term came from.

The best explanation I'd heard prior to now was that the practice of composing functions was akin to mixing ingredients for curry, (the food) but I'd never really bought that line of reasoning.

So like, 3 months of PG&E bills?

RCS is an open standard, isn't it? Are you referring to the E2E encryption that Google added to Android?

Bold of you to assume no one will come up with a replacement date library rather than just getting rid of JS.
