Hard no. There is such a thing as the right to forget. At least in Europe. Stackoverflow likes to take that right away as it earns them more money, but that is never a good reason.
Right to forget can be achieved by unlinking the content from you, though, and making sure it contains no personal identifiable information. Doesn't mean it needs to be deleted.
Specifically since what you've posted on SO you've shared as CC BY-SA.
The right to forget is about removing personal information from a site, or removing articles about you from search results. An answer to a Stackoverflow question isn't really personal info.
> The right to be forgotten does not mean you content has to be taken down
As with almost anything GDPR: it really depends on the content, on the website, on the situation. There's no clear cut answer that applies to all cases.
And copyright law also enters into the picture here, which is why I added the second paragraph.
So by your definition a real artist should have more than 1000 plays. I listen to small artist from my country which will probably never reach a global audience and they definitely do not get 1.000 plays but are verified artists according to spotify. This policy basically drives more drivel music and leaves out alternative and indie bands. It's a bad policy that needs an investigation by the authorities to force Spotify not to discriminate smaller artists.
Maybe companies, but they are not what should matter. As far as know the amount of poor people in the usa is also way higher than in Europe. If we take that into account i'd say that Europe is doing just fine.

That's all included in the article, which admittedly is behind a paywall. He goes into great detail, including purchasing power parity, means vs medians, etc.
And the conclusion is the US generates more wealth for the middle class than Europe does.
Wasn't it just last year that the richest man and the richest woman in the world were both French? A statement at "Europe" level is far too generic, especially when it comes to economic policies or quality of life. Europe includes both Norway and Moldova and the variance in the quality of life is much higher than Massachusetts vs Mississippi.
The main thing that i remembered from thread/matter is that vendors can lock out devices and other users hostile stuff. I sure hope plain zigbee is here to stay as having bigtech decide the brand of my in-wall switches are wrong would truly suck.
The pi is largely undocumented and otherwise proprietary. It's owned by broadcom who are otherwise known for putting everything behind an nda. No, the pi is a lot, but it's not a platform i would bet on to be available in 50 years.
Yes the Amiga OCS can be implemented on a FPGA but nobody is running the 68K architecture (Paula/Agnus/Denise ain't nothing special) anymore except for ColdFire variants still used in the automotive world and in laser printers.
ARM is rather ubiquitous at this stage considering the number of implementations in the world since the first Android phones went on sale.
No, getting a 100% equivalent working Java system is trivial. But the goal is having something that looks like it was Java from the start not Java as written by a cobol expert. So proper use of classes. Not al globals. Sensible naming etc. The real cost is in maintenance of the code: having in idiomatic Java could help. Translating to idiomatic Java is very hard
I think those companies would kiss you on the mouth and do any unspeakable acts you requested were you able to promise a 100% equivalent system in Java. There is a ton of industry experience in turning working-but-trash Java into something more maintainable.
I have the pleasure of supporting a transpiled rpg (system i) to Java codebase. Shit that's come up: almost everything is a global. State machine are used for crud logic which is implicit in the rpg runtime and explicit in the Java codebase. Magic constants all over the place. Magic blobs of screen configuration mapping. Transpiling and directly supporting the transpiled codebase is basically masochism.
The ultimate root of the problem is thinking healthcare works like a bakery: if the bread is too expensive i'll go shopping elsewhere or even choose something else besides bread. This last option is basically off the table in healthcare: you either get healthcare or die. Which in the usa seems to be the options indeed.
As I see it, there is no free market when it comes to healthcare: there is no real choice, only choices that we introduce. What i mean is: when I get hit by a bus, i want to be in the nearest hospital asap and don't have the time nor the consciousness to play the healthcare market game.
