I mean, isn't that what work is?
You get paid, in exchange you spend your time doing stuff at your boss's behest, which you wouldn't do if you weren't being paid?
I mean sure, there are some jobs like being a doctor which you might consider a higher calling, but nobody joins Facebook expecting to do socially useful work, it's an ad company.
Jupyter can be used with Org Babel (interactive output, ansi escape codes, plots. I haven't tried widgets (shiny apps mostly cover this use-case for me https://shiny.posit.co/)).
They are ruled by an avowedly Marxist (state-capitalist) government, who have lifted hundreds of millions from abject poverty, in the largest economic miracle of our lifetimes.

Practically all of Chinas economic growth was after and due to economic liberalization that welcomed corporations into the country. China is easily the best example of how much more economically effective markets and property rights are than central planning and state owned everything. Their dumbass government literally starved tens of millions of people because of their ill advised central planning attempt
Had never heard of these plates. At least the current models may well make the problem worse:

While a lot of people can get behind the idea of never going to the DMV again, not a lot of people are thrilled about the whole “license plate as tracking device” angle"
As a result, many are communing hours a day, to sit on zoom calls. Wasting their valuable time on earth for the sake of a manager's dictat.
Things are good. But they can always be better :)
Management pretty often do not have the best ideas, and often the people doing the work know how best to do it.
