Interesting - how does this work? Do you use some kind of search API to search news sites and validate whether the condition has been satisfied?

I wonder how your extension will handle scenarios with unclean data, however. What if the state labels were irregular?
2. Lead a movement to switch away from these apps. This has an insanely high overhead, and requires significant organisation of people and a large individual commitment. This would have a significant effect on Facebook.
This is how I view the problem. This is not an example of people being unwilling to act on their ideals. It's a situation where acting on their ideals would cause them a significant burden with no effect, and causing the intended change would require ridiculously large effort.
The most confusing aspect of this is the fact that taxes are often progressive. Increasing taxes would then definitely hurt the wealthy more than the usurpers. This aspect of Hoffman's argument didn't make much sense to me.
Fair enough, but in today's age of liberal democracies, we can maybe take lessons from the past and use that to inform decisions that our countries take in the future. Perhaps a population better educated on the atrocities of colonialism may be less willing to support unjustified wars and exploitative projects in the future.
You say the assumption that Britains occupation of India " was not of any major economic benefit to Britain itself." is incorrect. Yet, I hear many post-facto justifications of colonialism or minimisations of the cruelty and harms of colonialism.
This revisionist history or blindness towards the actual harms of the British Raj could cause Britons to yearn for the glory of yesteryear, and could lend to support for neocolonialist programs.
I'm in the process of learning the MERN stack for full stack development. What I have here is a todo list app where you can perform CRUD actions on the todo list (add todos, delete them, update the done state).
The front end is in React and the back end is an Express API that talks to a Mongo instance.
Next actions include - Making this a full fledged product by throwing in login functionality, authentication, ability to create multiple lists - Honing my HTML/CSS skills to build components for the above purposes - Deploying this to Heroku
