Phones are already getting NPUs / TPUs / Neural Engines / whatever fancy marketing term they can come up with.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

It is 2024 now. Why should we live by the standards of some poem in 1883?

If we want society to continue updating its morals, why not update the morals about immigration as well?

I just use the 80 20 rule:

- estimate at least 20 days

I always use the 80 20 rule for estimating stuff:

Is it like Eclipse RAP, just for Java FX? How does it compare to Gluon?

It sounds a lot like Eclipse RAP / RWT which is basically swt in the browser. The biggest downside is that every user has a heavyweight session on the server that holds all the UI state. I think Vercel is also a bit similar to this model.

So having built a few services that offer a signup, it's typically simple to make the service _send_ emails and receive the token through the browser for validation. It's all synchronous with actions that the user initiates. To build something like this you'd need an email inbox, which services typically don't have.
