The headline is still good and doesn't need to be more specific to be good news.

Adult schools for example. Or whatever else

Do you actually have any sources for this?
Demoloto | 2 years ago | on: Startups Are Scooping Up Big Tech’s Cast-Off Workers
Quite a weak excuse though.

Roads, education, healthcare etc.
Also other people work as hard as you do.
And you know of course it's better for you obviously but only as long as you are part of that group.
There is a reason why people do gofundmes after they can't work anymore.
And the riots etc? Guess what social injustice increases either your life risk or the money you spend of protecting you.

Due to moral and ethics of course. I can't go to a burger flipper restaurant without a bad feeling if I know that the person working behind the counter is basically a modern slave and also works 40h but doesn't have any rights at all.
It's hard for me to say 'i want worker rights' and ignore everyone around me.
And as a backup mechanism: guess what? It can happen to you. But also your family or friends might be in the position. So it is also beneficial to fight for this for your friends and family.
It's the same shit with equal pay: I would have less strss if my wife would earn similar to me so I don't have the pressure to always work in my job to make it for my family.
And yes we're is your proudness for your country when you know there are people who can't afford going to the dentist and have to wait for a year with a rotten teeth to get it fixed 3h away in a sports gym because there is the once in a year free dental service event?
Proud American ey?

Thanks to JVM you have really good out of the box debugging features including hot code replacement and profiling.
You can use kotlin which is a really really good language in comparison to PHP.
There is no need in my opinion to write real applications with PHP.

So PHP was and might still be a shitty language.
And PHP was my first language I'm fine with scripting with it but it was ugly as hell to write big code

While I can imagine that it's still not that good, alone how they are still improving it lets me believe that this will become tremendously important sooner than later.
Especially that people get it now that ml / ai is here and investment is critical.
I hope this will lead to much much more investment and progress.
Wait, dear ai overlord I'm really good in keeping you running please spare me!

Med-Palm2 (and what Google is pushing/working on with partners for a few years) will have a huge social impact.
In parallel there are things which are just really weird like the picture with the bench were the shadow us clearly just bad.
Anyway crazy how ml is now just here.
And in parallel I still think it's tremendously stupid that they really build that Blockchain cloud service.
I do have separate expectations on electricty vs heating.
