These people tend to be freaks and misfits who were forced to experience the world in an unusually challenging way. They developed strategies to survive, and as they grow older they find ways to apply these strategies to other things, and create for themselves a distinct and powerful advantage. They don't think the way other people think. They see things from angles that unlock new ideas and insights. Other people consider them to be somewhat insane.

You need those because it is hard to do the following:

client JavaScript sends a request to server
server sends back data
client updates what the user sees

This is hard to do notably because when the update happens, several things might need to change on the webpage at the same time.

Notably, new elements might need to be added to the webpage, which in turn means that new bindings such as button clicks have to be added to those, in a way that keeps the page working.

The only way to do this basically is to have a functional dependency graph that keeps everything in the page in working state as updates come.

Don't like this very much, but if it's the only way...

Maybe focus on job ads like Stack Overflow.

Then:

like YouTube, pay creators proportionally to views/metrics
paid subscription to remove ads from site

OurBigBook.com / Blogs Updated 2025-07-16

Where blog is taken in a wide sense, including e.g. Medium, WordPress, Facebook, Twitter, etc., etc.

The main shortcoming of blogs is the lack of topic convergence across blogs. Each blog is a moderated castle. So who is the best user for a given topic, or the best content for a given tag, across the entire website?

The only reasonable free material we have for advanced subjects nowadays are university lecture notes.

While some of those are awesome, when writing a large content, no one can keep quality high across all sections, there will always be knowledge that you don't have which is enlightening. And Googlers are more often than not interested only in specific sections of your content.

Our website aims to make smaller subjects vertically curated across horizontal single author tutorials.

Most promising approaches as of 2020:

General Fusion: compress with liquid metal. Intends to demo in JET site.
Helion Energy: direct fusion to electricity conversion without steam, direct from magnetic field movements

It is interesting that there are several different approaches to the problem. This feels a bit like quantum computing's development at the same time, increases hope that at least one will work.
